Here are 5 Last Minute Mother’s Day Gifts that Last All Year Long!
Mom Will Never Know You Waited Until the Last Minute!
No need to panic if you still haven’t decided what to get Mom for Mother’s Day! We’ve got you covered with these five last minute Mother’s Day gift ideas. Each of these gifts are so thoughtful, Mom will never know you waited until the last minute.
Flowers of the Month
If Mom loves flowers, then a flower of the month gift is perfect. Make arrangements with a local florist to create a different bouquet each month and deliver it to your mother.
Not only will she have a year of fresh flowers, but also she’ll have an extra reason to think of you each month.
This idea is especially perfect for any moms who live in assisted living or a care home. They will love being the envy of their friends when their monthly flower delivery arrives!
Magazine Subscription
Who doesn’t enjoy taking time each month to sit down and relax with a magazine? This Mother’s Day gift idea is an opportunity to give your mom some “me” time each month to read her new magazine.
Here are my personal favorites:
- Southern Living
- Magnolia Journal
- Better Homes and Garden
- House Beautiful
- Taste of Home
- Food Network Magazine
Handmade Cards and Letters
Sometimes the best Mother’s Day gift is the simplest one. Sending a handmade card or writing a letter each month to your mother is an especially thoughtful gift.
When you have a mom that already has everything or is hard to buy for, sending a heartfelt message in the mail each month will be something she will treasure.

Treat of the Month
Delivering a homemade treat each month is another Mother’s Day gift idea that keeps giving all year long. Pick out twelve of Mom’s favorite recipes and make time in the kitchen to create a fun treat.
Better yet, why not spend the time each month visiting with your mom while baking the treat in her kitchen? Baking together creates sweet memories, and you can promise to do all the clean up.
If you don’t live near your mother, then pick a recipe each month that will ship well and send out a special delivery.

Monthly Manicure Date
Here is one more great Mother’s Day gift idea that provides an opportunity to spend time together and enjoy a relaxing manicure. Take charge of booking a monthly appointment at your favorite spa or nail salon. Then you can treat your mom and yourself to a regular manicure.
This idea still works if you live in different cities. You can make the arrangements and send your mom for her own “me” time at the salon.
