Life is busy! Sometimes we find ourselves scouring for the perfect Mother’s Day gift not because we forgot Mom but because we wasted too much time looking or because time simply got away – leaving us looking at our calendars in shock “Mother’s Day is THIS weekend??”
So for our second and last installment of our “Last minute Mother’s Day Gift” series, I am sharing a list of some great Mother’s Day gifts and gift ideas that are thoughtful and do not look “last minute”– because nobody wants to give *that* gift.
1. Nuance Age Affirm by Salma Hayek
|| Age Affirm Glycolic Cream Cleanser ($13.99), Age Affirm Firming Neck & Chest Balm ($21.99), Age Affirm Firming Day & Night Cream ($21.99, Age Affirm Firming Eye Balm ($19.99)||
If Mom loves her beauty products, check out Salma Hayack ‘s Nuance line at CVS. I know what you’re thinking– “CVS? You said this list will not look last minute.” Stay with me. I have personally been using this line now for over a month, and my skin feels great. I’ve used a lot of great high-end creams and skin lines, but this line is crazy-stupid-affordable and very on par with some of those high end lines. I mean it. You want to give a gift that she is going to love, but that also isn’t going to break the bank to refill.
Scoop up the whole set for around $80 or less (Hello, CVS bucks!), put it in a small basket with shredded filler, wrap with clear wrap and tie it a gorgeous bow- viola!
2. Ninja Pro-Blender BL700
Spring and summer are the season for smoothies and delicious frozen drinks. By nature we Moms love to multi-task and this Ninja blender can blend two things at once! If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can scoop this up for $129 and still get it in time for Mother’s Day OR you can check out your local JCPenny where it is available for $159.
3. Sony Qx100
||Best Buy Qx10 $199, Amazon Prime Qx10 $199 | Best Buy Qx100 $449 , Amazon Prime Qx100 $448 ||
If the Mom you are shopping for loves taking pictures and is a bit of an iPhonographer, the Sony Qx10 and QX100 are amazing gifts! Your phone acts as a view finder so you can use this lens attached and detached from your phone to get all kind of cool angles. All pictures taken with this lens are transmitted to your camera roll via a Sony App and the picture quality is just great! I received this for Christmas this year and since its latest update that allows you to half-press to focus your shots better, it truly is awesome.
4. Cole Haan Air Bacara Ballet Flat
|Amazon Prime $128| Lord & Taylor $110|
Tieks are all the rage, however being last minute and all it’s sadly too late to surprise Mom with a pair of those. These Cole Hann Air Bacara Ballet Flats are a great alternative and can definitely be purchased in time for Mom’s big day via Amazon Prime or in-store at Lord & Taylor.
5. Personalized Wine Set
lafabriqueabricole on Etsy, $1.65 Instant dowloadable tag| Libby Just Cocktails Service Set of 8, $19.99
When in doubt wine wins! To put a more personalized touch on your bottle of wine gift, purchase one of these instant printable tags from lafabriqueabricole on Etsy for just $1.65 and pair this with a super cute wine glass set like the one above from Bed, Bath and Beyond and you are good to go! :)
