Consider this your friendly reminder that this Sunday, May 14, is Mother’s Day. If the holiday slipped your mind, don’t go digging—we scoured the web for fast, two-day, and expedited shipping finds from the likes of Amazon, Wayfair, and Sephora, so Mom will never know you ordered…today (especially if you include a cute card). Check out our full list, below, whether you’re looking to celebrate a parent, friend, grandmother, or mother-in-law. (Psst: If you decide to go simple with a bouquet, we recommend making it one from Crespell, a small organic flower farm that can overnight its unique creations to 48 states.) 

Best Outdoor Gifts 

For the mom who prefers to dig in the garden, take to the trails, or post up by the water, we pulled stock from tried-and-true brands that can accompany her where she’d rather be—outside. Case in point: this ’70s-inflected cooler from Business & Pleasure Co., featuring the brand’s signature umbrella canvas that’ll stand up to water, mold, and strong summer rays. And check out Yeti’s tote-style option. Orders placed with the outdoor retailer before Wednesday, May 10, will arrive by May 14 for free. 

Best Cooking and Kitchen Gifts 

From the grandmothers who are excellent cooks to the moms who’d prefer takeout, we found pretty pantry items, statement-making countertop appliances, and a cool coffee subscription perfect for those who are serious about every cup of joe. (By the way, Wonder Valley is offering free one- to three-day priority shipping when you order by Wednesday, May 10.)

Best Beauty and Wellness Gifts 

Moms deserve “me time,” whether that’s just extra sleep or some fast-shipping, self-care goodies. A few of our favorites include lightly scented jasmine and rose bath bombs in the shape of chill pills; a six-pack of 24-karat-gold hydrogel face masks summarized as “an energy drink for your face”; and palo santo–scented incense to set the vibe. Sephora is offering free same-day delivery through May 14 with the code MOMSDAY.

Best Tabletop and Entertaining Gifts 

Up your mom’s entertaining game with fancy flax-linen napkins, artfully made placemats, and a squiggly glass pitcher mouth-blown in the Czech Republic. 

Best Jewelry and Trinket Gifts 

Sometimes something sparkly and shiny really is the best gift. Add a meaningful token to her collection by picking out a personalized trinket (like a charm fashioned in the letter of her first name) or in her preferred finish. Not sure of her tastes? Go for a catchall dish to house her most frequently worn pieces.

Best Digital Deliveries and Gift Cards

Not all gift cards are created equal. Treat Mom to a special experience, like learning a new skill through one of nearly 200 courses available with MasterClass (its annual membership is currently 35% off through May 14) or picking out a new plant to add to her indoor garden without having to travel to the local nursery. Just be sure to add the promo code PLANTMAMA at checkout for 20% off.
