Last Minute Mother’s Day Gifts for Cool Moms

Written by Bryce

Our list of the top last minute, easy to get Mother’s Day gifts for cool moms:

1. Mom needs fuel, and not just some regular pot. Every wide-eyed and alert mom ever refuels with her Keurig each morning, but there’s an updated version and your ultra-chic mom needs to have it– because she probably likes entertaining. The Keurig 2.0 has a larger 4 cup brewing capability so the whole house can have a quick cup, or can stick to the original single serve cups. K-cup pods come in over 400 varieties, so the whole house will have the brew of their choice, whether Starbucks, Dunkin, Folgers, or some lesser-known bakery brew. Better yet? It’s even available in Marsala, the 2015 Pantone color of the year. $169.99 at Keurig.com

2. Chocolate never fails. Even if Mom insists chocolate isn’t part of her balanced diet, the small, bite sized LINDOR milk chocolate truffles that grace the best candy bowls are somehow beyond permissible. You can give them to Mom straight up or try filling a vase with them instead of flowers. Chocolate truffles last longer than blooms… for some people, anyway. LindtUSA.com/Lindor for more info and coupons.

 

 

 

3. Flowers, but better. Have you ever noticed that sending a Mother’s Day bouquet starts out with a $29.99 ad online but by the time you factor in all the weird add ons and extras, getting a few daisies delivered to Mom on time ends up north of $80? The Bouqs is changing the floral game with totally trendy, celeb-wedding-worthy bouquets for $40 including delivery. An easy, thoughtful last minute gift that’ll look twice as expensive. TheBouqs.com

4. Fancy jewelry, but way more affordable. She likes Tiffany, Cartier, and all the finer things but you’re working with a mall budget. No problem. TrueFacet.com sells totally authentic (there’s a strict vetting process), gently used and sometimes new designer jewelry at up to 90% off. It’s not uncommon to find Tiffany pieces for as much as 40% off retail, and they’re in brand new condition. You can sell or trade your old pieces in as well. I recently found a Cartier Trinity 5 Band Ring (18K yellow, rose, and white gold) for $995 instead of the usual retail of $1600. With all that extra cash you can take mom for a spa day, too. TrueFacet.com

 

 

5. It’s 2015, and moms wear heels too. There’s the cutest little shoe spritz called “Still Standing” designed for women who wear heels and lead active lives. The spray helps relieve the yucky feeling of pressure caused by standing in heels for too long, and keeps the soles of feet feeling cool like the moment they slipped in. $27 at StillStandingSpray.com. It’s kitschy and cute, and pairs nicely with a vase full of chocolates.

  • Lindt was a sponsor of a conference I went to last week, and boy are their dark chocolate and their coffee chocolates addicting. So good!
