10 Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gifts You Can Buy From Amazon
There’s not a lot of time left. Thank goodness for two-day shipping.
Mother’s Day is officially less than a week away. If she’s a runner, you can get one these 17 Mother’s Day Gifts for the Mom on the Move. But if not, and you haven’t yet gotten a gift for your mom, you have a few options. You can (A) tell your boss you have a doctor’s appointment and sneak away from work to frantically search at the mall. Or, there’s option (B): Panic and pony up for the crazy delivery fees flower companies are charging to get your goods to mom by Sunday (is it just us, or is $100+ an insane amount of money to spend on something that will die in a few days?).
Or there’s choice (C), which is to keep your cool (and your cash) by using the wonders of the internet to have the perfect gift delivered to mom with time to spare.
Personally, we would vote for taking advantage of the fact that it’s 2017 and go with C. And we’re helping you make that choice even easier by suggesting 10 last-minute gifts from Amazon Prime that will totally score you the Beloved Child Award. Whether your mom is into fashion or fitness (or both), we’ve got something she’s sure to love (she’ll never know you didn’t hand-select it yourself). And you don’t have to spend a ton to get mom’s present delivered on time: All of our picks are under $100. The only real issue? This year’s last-minute Mother’s Day gift might set the bar so high that you’ll have a tough time figuring out how to beat it next year.
Gold-Flecked Cross-Body Bag
Did you know Amazon actually has a legit handmade section, a la Esty? We didn’t either until recently, but it’s a goldmine of great Mother’s Day gifts. This super-cute cross-body is eco-friendly and made by a mother and daughter designer team in California—what mom wouldn’t love that?
Buy it: Mini Cross-Body Bag in gold-flecked cork, $51, Amazon.com
Fitbit Flex
If mom is always complaining about having too much “stuff,” give her the gift of fitness this Mother’s Day with a Fitbit Flex. You can use it as an activity to enjoy together, too: Whether you live across town or across the country from her, you can sync up and log partner sweat sessions—or just cheer each other on.
Buy it: Fitbit Flex, $60, Amazon.com
24K Gold Body Scrub
Want to show mom just how awesome she really is? Treat her like literal royalty with this Cleopatra-worthy 24K gold scrub. Not only will it feel uber-luxurious, but some evidence suggests gold is an anti-inflammatory that may help reduce fine lines and sun damage. And at only $21, it's a total steal.
Buy it: 24K Gold Body Scrub, $21, Amazon.com
Hand-Painted Gold Slate Coasters
You can never have enough coasters, and this photo-worthy set is another great find from Amazon’s homemade section. You’ll definitely want to help Mom sign up for her own Instagram account after you gift these to her so she can show them off—Mother’s Day brunch has never been so chic!
Buy it: Hand Painted Gold Slate Drink Coasters, $32, Amazon.com

You’re welcome, Mom!
