FreshDirect gift cards, delivered electronically, are the easiest way to buy a loved one dinner — and breakfast, lunch, and snacks, too.
FOR THE STRESSED-OUT
$38.99
Buy Now on headspace
Few gifts are better than a healthier mind. Headspace has done just that for thousands of users, helping people meditate, fall asleep, and manage anxiety. Their audio experiences are very well-produced and quick, offering an easy intro to meditation for anyone.
FOR THE COFFEE-LOVER

Buy Now on trade
There are lots of coffee subscription services out there now, but Trade is one of the best. They have a few gifting options, all of which set up deliveries of coffee on your Mother's Day schedule. Plus, with Trade, your giftee will actually get coffee she's likely to enjoy, instead of a random selection.
$369
Buy Now on the chef & the dish
The Chef & The Dish lets anyone learn how to cook authentic, regional food from a professional chef. Your mom's lesson will be taught over a video call, and a Kitchen Assistant will contact her before the lesson to run through a shopping list and provide tech support. The Chef & The Dish allows you to explore food from 16 different regions of the world, including Brazil, Peru, Japan, the Caribbean, and America.
Buy Now on uncommon goods
Uncommon Experiences offers digital classes on astrology, music, cooking, and even mindfulness, all taught by experts. All you have to do is pick the date, fill in your mom's info, and she's good to go. Uncommon Goods will send an email with the video call link before the class begins.
FOR THE (AUDIO)BOOK WORM
$15+
Buy Now on amazon
Once you get into audiobooks, you're not sure what you were doing before. If your mom hasn't been converted yet, send her a subscription to Audible. The audiobook leader (owned by Amazon) offers a giant library of titles with high-quality audio and a great interface. Subscriptions start at just $15 a month.
Buy Now on stubhub
Stubhub gift cards are an easy option that shows some thought. Mom can use it for just about any ticketed experience, be it a concert, a sports event, or a play, all booked through one of the most trusted ticketing platforms around.
Buy Now on grubhub
If you can't be there to cook with your Mom — or you just want to send them a special, one-of-a-kind treat — get her a gift card to Grubhub. She'll be able to order whatever she wants to her door, thanks to you.
$48

It's hard to find the right fragrance for your character and occasion, which is why we love Scentbird. The service sends your mom regular samples of high-end fragrances (cologne or perfume) and lets her try more than she normally could by buying new ones. Plus, new subscribers go through a fun quiz that matches them with certain scents.
Buy Now on the bouqs
Yes, you can give flowers as a gift. But if you can't drop them off yourself, you can always turn to The Bouqs. The straightforward service, seen on Shark Tank, helps make flower delivery easier and better for both parties.
$25+
Buy Now on milk bar
We didn't think the dessert world could be shaken up until Milk Bar came on the scene. The bakery, famous for its any-time-of-year birthday cake, specializes in elevated, fun takes on classic desserts, and they deliver nationwide. If your mom has a sweet tooth, a gift card from Milk Bar is a great alternative to chocolate.
$126+
Buy Now on rosetta stone
Here's a gift that can be truly valuable to your giftee: a Rosetta Stone subscription. Whether she's planning a trip abroad or just looking to pick up a new language, Rosetta Stone can help her get there.
$50+
Buy Now on best buy
Want to really spoil Mom? Get her on a plane somewhere fun. You can buy tickets yourself if you know exactly where she wants to go and when, but we recommend getting a digital gift card instead, such as this one from Delta.
Buy Now
Cameo does require some lead time (so delivery isn't instant), but it's worth the wait. The clever service lets you pay celebrities to record a short, personalized video for a loved one. You'll see big celebs like Brett Farve and Kevin O'Leary, as well as smaller stars (with a smaller price tag) like Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and David Arquette (Scream).
$84.99
Buy Now on directv
We're in an odd era of TV right now where cable is antiquated and too expensive for what you get, but most big streaming services still don't provide live sports and events. The fix? A live TV streaming service like DirecTV. It makes a great gift for sports fans or anyone who's always struggling to find their content.
Buy Now on classpass
ClassPass is a great Mother's Day gift because your mom can use it for just about any wellness-related activity. She can check out a new fitness class — from boxing to cycling to yoga — or she can use the gift card for a spa treatment or meditation class.
Buy Now on etsy
No matter what your Mom's hobbies or tastes are, Etsy is sure to have plenty of unique items that they'll love. The site has everything from jewelry to decor to fan-made merch, and many of these items are handmade by real artists.

Boatsetter is basically Airbnb for (you guessed it) boats. The site has a ton of vessels for rent — both captained and up to you to man — ranging from affordable to ultra-luxurious. It's great for vacations or use in your hometown's body of water.
Buy Now on amazon
Amazon Music has some great playlists and stations that music fans will love. Plus, it's fully integrated into Alexa and other Amazon products for easy navigation (especially with smart homes).
Buy Now on walmart
Walmart+ offers a ton of benefits — from early access to sales to free shipping and same-day delivery. If your mom shops at Walmart, this is a great way to upgrade their daily routine — and save them some money in the long run.
shop minibar
This one isn't exactly a 'digital gift,' but it's all digital on your end. Minibar will let you deliver alcohol to someone in 30 to 60 minutes, in most cases, so you can send that present right at the last minute.
$50.00
Buy Now On Amazon
If you really don't know what to get your mom, an Amazon gift card is probably the safest gift there is.
