The best last-minute Mother's Day gifts that will arrive by Sunday
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals . Still stuck on what to give Mom this year? This list is the perfect place to start ... if I do say so myself. (Getty) May always comes in hot. There's end-of-school madness (and the long list of events that come with it), Memorial Day travels, spring weddings, graduations, the list goes on. But before you beeline to summer, take time to treat your mom — Mother's Day is this Sunday, after all. And since we're down to the wire, I'd suggest snagging one of these last-minute Mother's Day gifts before it's too late. Let's get one thing straight: Last-minute gifts don't have to be an afterthought, and the following ideas are proof. As Yahoo's gifting editor, I've spent the last few months researching, testing and writing about this year's best Mother's Day gifts, so let's just say that I know a good thing when I see it. From the celeb-loved eye patches from Grace & Stella to a sweeter-than-honey Bonne Maman gift set, these last-minute buys have all earned my (very coveted) stamp of approval. Quality's one thing, but fast shipping is another. Most of these picks are available on Amazon and will be delivered in two days or less with Prime (and under $50, I might add). But you'll also notice some options from other retailers like Nordstrom, Walmart and Pandora, which can even be picked up in store if you'd rather get 'em in your hands ASAP. In this guide, Mother's Day gift ideas are broken up into the following categories: Pampering and relaxation gifts | Food and beverage gifts | Flower gifts | Jewelry gifts | Tech gifts Pampering and relaxation gifts Amazon Body Restore Shower Steamers, 6-Pack Everyday upgrades make the best Mother's Day gifts. Take these shower steamers, for example: Mom can drop a puck in the corner of her shower and breathe in good-for-the-soul essential oils as she washes up. Tell her to tailor the tablet to her mood — lavender and chamomile bring instant calm, while citrus grove will wake her up when she needs it most. $14 at Amazon Amazon Grace & Stella Eye Glow Trio Under-eye patches are a top-tier form of self-care for multitaskers — ahem, your mom. If she finds it tough to carve out time for well-deserved R&R, then these top-tested patches are just the thing she needs to tackle dry, tired under-eyes. Just pop on a pair, let them sit for up to 20 minutes while [insert laundry list of house chores here] and gently rub in any remaining serum once the time's up. $18 at Amazon Food and beverage gifts Amazon Bonne Maman 'Ten Ways to Say I Love You' Gift Set Spread the love with this jam-filled gift box. She'll get 10 mini jars of Bonne Maman's finest — nine fruit spreads (ranging from tangy orange marmalade to decadent fig preserves) and one honey. Talk about a sweet Mother's Day gift! $27 at Amazon Amazon Tea Forte Demoiselle Premium Tea Petite Presentation Box Tea Forte is a match made for the Mom who fancies a cuppa. Their newest collection, Demoiselle, is inspired by the cracks of sunshine during a downpour, which is brought to life with 10 zingy, floral-forward blends in this cheery sampler. $28 at Amazon Walmart Better Homes & Gardens Melamine Salad Serving Bowl and Utensil Set Mom has a lot of barbecues and picnics in her future, so make sure she carves out space in her basket for this four-piece melamine set. There's even a designated spot for the salad servers, so they don't get lost traveling from one summertime soirée to the next. $16 at Walmart Flower gifts Amazon Freshcut Paper Pop-up Card If she's the type to swear off Mother's Day gifts, then take my advice and bend the rules by giving her this paper bouquet. Just be sure to write a heartfelt message in the accompanying card — ya know, to distract her from realizing that you didn't listen to your mother yet again. $13 at Amazon 1-800-Flowers 1-800-Flowers Fragrant Gardenia Plant I'd go so far as to say that a potted plant is much better than a bouquet. Fresh flowers last a couple of weeks tops, but this gardenia plant is more of a forever kind of thing. She can keep it inside to fill her house with a floral aroma or take it outside if the weather's warm enough. $66 at 1-800-Flowers Jewelry gifts Amazon Shinelab Chunky Knot Earrings Let me speak from experience: These earrings look way more expensive than they are. In fact, they pass for lookalikes from a trendy, TikTok-worthy brand that runs upward of $85 — that's over 8x the price! More than 2,000 Amazon shoppers picked up a pair last month (myself included), with one fashion-forward reviewer writing that this "timeless" style is "the perfect size, a bit bigger than a stud yet not too heavy on your ears." I couldn't agree more. $10 at Amazon Pandora Pandora Logo Pavé Circle Collier Necklace You love your mom to infinity and beyond, so it's only fitting to give her this pavé pendant with a similar sentiment. It's high on the sparkle scale, but the subtle heart cutouts along the exterior make it a real standout. Sterling silver is your best bet if you want to stay under the $100 mark, but you can always spring for gold or rose gold if you really want to spoil Mom ($185 each). Go with express shipping to ensure it arrives in time, or opt for in-store pickup if you have a Pandora nearby. $85 at Pandora Nordstrom Alex and Ani Heart Bracelet Bring a little sparkle to her every day. This dainty gold-tone bracelet is full of heart — quite literally — thanks to the crystal at the center. There's also a matching pendant necklace ($44) if you want to give her double the love this Mother's Day. Nordstrom members get free two-day shipping, but your best bet may be picking it up at a nearby store. $44 at Nordstrom Tech gifts Amazon Aura Carver Digital Picture Frame Your mom's lived a full life — and she has a full camera roll to show for it. Instead of settling on a single photo to frame, pick up this WiFi-powered gadget (by the same brand that topped our Senior Tech Writer's tests) and let dozens of her best memories take the spotlight. A tip: You can upload your favorite snaps and videos to the Aura app ahead of time, so she can put the frame on display as soon as she unwraps it. $149 at Amazon Explore More Buying Options $150 at Target The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Stress less with these 15 stress-reduction products
Stress is a constant threat many of us deal with on a daily basis, but it can be combated with a few products designed for stress reduction. No matter what's stressing you out, meditation tools, sleep aids and health trackers can help you create a calming daily routine. Self-care products also help you kick up your feet and relax after a long day. Bath bombs, weighted blankets and essential oil diffusers create a soothing environment that's easier to be stress-free in. No matter what your self-care routine looks like, these 15 stress-reduction products can help you stay healthier longer. Instead of jolting yourself awake every morning with a loud alarm, the Hatch Restore 3 can help you wake up more naturally, saving you some stress first thing in the morning. The sunrise alarm clock gently gets brighter and wakes you up with nature sounds. Hatch also helps you create a better nighttime routine. You can customize the light so it doesn't keep you up and pair Hatch with meditations or soothing audio to gently fall asleep. It also has more than 80 science-backed sleep sounds that can help you stay asleep. If you're an Amazon Prime member, you can get these items to your door ASAP. You can join or start a 30-day free trial to start your shopping today. Meditation and better sleep are two keys to a calmer mind. The Calm app can help you do both. For $69.99 per year or $14.99 per month, you can get full access to the app's meditation courses and sleep stories and sounds. Throwing a bath bomb or shower steamer in your bath or shower is the perfect way to relax after a long day. Dr. Teal's lavender bath bombs are designed with natural ingredients that can help you get a better night of sleep. They also help moisturize and soften your skin. If you're more of a shower person, go with lavender Body Restore shower steamers. Just put one in the bottom of your shower and enjoy the comforting smell of fresh lavender. When you're trying to relax on the couch with a good book or your favorite show, grab a weighted blanket for added relaxation. A Luxome weighted blanket comes in beautiful colors and patterns and has a removable cover that's easy to wash. You can also get a Baloo weighted blanket in king-size and in four different colors. The blanket is washer and dryer safe. A mindfulness journal helps you track your mindfulness journey, helping you understand your mood and find thanks in the small things. This gratitude journal from Barnes & Noble has specific sections for positive affirmations, your daily goals, the good things that happened to you and mood tracking. A Notes to Mindfulness Journal also has specific sections to help you build a routine and record what you're grateful for. You can also learn to be more self-aware with the self-awareness section. An essential oils diffuser with calming essential oils can fill your space with a calmness it otherwise might not have. Amazon has an affordable essential oils diffuser that has seven different LED light colors, multiple mist nebulizers and a safety auto switch built-in, so your diffuser doesn't overheat. You can also get a more minimalist essential oils diffuser from Aroma360. The diffuser tower fills rooms up to 600 sq. ft. It's also battery-powered, so you don't have to worry about long cords. Yoga is great exercise and can help relieve stress. You can start a home routine or take a class; either way, you'll need a set of yoga essentials like a yoga mat, two blocks, a yoga mat towel, knee pads and a carrying case. The Muse 2 is a revolutionary brain coach that can teach you how to sleep better and reduce your stress levels. It's a small headband that's lightweight and comfortable to wear. The device tracks your brain waves, heart rate, sleep patterns and other body metrics and then creates a plan for you to improve your health. Original price: $299 Instead of staring at bright lights after a long day at work, switch to an Allay lamp. The soothing green light is better on your eyes and naturally eases headache pain. It's also an ideal nightlight that can help you sleep better. A stress ball can help you relieve some tension when you're having a frustrating day. This two-pack of stress balls from Amazon have entertaining motivational sayings on them and are an affordable way to help your stress. A Quiet Mind mini squeeze is a soft, squeezable mini pillow that's weighted so you can relieve any anxiety. It's a fidget toy that can help you release muscle tension. It's also small enough to take with you anywhere. CBD has been shown to have significant stress-relieving effects for many users. It comes in many forms, including CBD gummies like these cbdMD gummies with 50 mg of CBD per dose. You can also get CBD oil with 42 mg of CBD per full dropper. Learning to breathe deeply may help improve your stress levels, and a breathwork device can help you learn to do just that. The Breathing Buddha on Amazon has three different modes with breathing exercises you follow with the help of a light. You can get a much more advanced breathwork device from Moonbird. It's a handheld breathing coach that guides you through science-backed breathing exercises to help reduce your stress levels in just five minutes. You feel the movement with your hand and follow along. Connect to the app and see how Moonbird is helping your body. Switching to calming herbal tea instead of highly caffeinated coffee can go a long way in helping you relax. Plenty of teas are made from natural ingredients known to help relieve tension. Yogi's Relaxed Mind tea has herbs like lavender, sage leaf, skullcap, nettle and other herbs that promote relaxation. You can also get a three-pack of different Yogi teas, including a stress relief blend, a bedtime tea and a plain chamomile tea. A self-care box subscription from TheraBox can help remind you that self-care is important, particularly in times of great stress. The monthly subscription is curated by therapists and comes with products like mindful activities, essential oils, candles, bath and body care products and wellness treats.

These steamers transform your shower into a spa — they're 40% off and arrive by Christmas
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. Why settle for mistletoe when you can give the gift of bliss? For that scent-sational holiday treat everyone on your list deserves, Body Restore Shower Steamers could be just right. These pucks turn a daily rinse into a luxurious mini spa — and right now, you can get a pack of 15 for just $18, down from $30 — that's 40% off. Add them to your cart now and they'll arrive in time to wrap up and put under the tree. Related: Check out our picks for the best last-minute holiday gifts. These little pucks are made with baking soda and essential oils. "As someone without access to a bath, these made my showers so much calmer and made me feel like I was taking the time to care for myself every time I used one," said one fan. At $18, these steamers are just about $1 each. Buy some to give as a festive little gift to friends and family members needing a relaxing time-out, but don't forget to treat yourself to a little R&R too. We can't think of a better way to wrap up a long day of holiday hosting than unwinding with a hot shower and some aromatherapy goodness. Bath bombs are wonderful, but sometimes we just don't have time for a long, leisurely soak. Enter shower steamers: Each disk is made with baking soda and essential oils. Hold one under running water or place it on the shower floor, then breathe deeply as it dissolves and releases a delicate, relaxing scent. There's no need to fill a tub or wait ages for the steamer to dissolve. Best of all: It doesn't leave a mess, because no one needs a gift that they have to clean up after. Each steamer lasts between 10 and 30 minutes — plenty of time even for longer showers. Some reviewers even say the steamers can last longer than one shower if they aren't in a direct stream of water. More than 10,000 reviewers give these steamers five-star ratings. Plus, more than 10,000 packs have been purchased in the last month alone. "I love these shower steamers!" wrote one satisfied shopper. "They smell heavenly and last through my entire shower and then some. I am so addicted to these that I have them on a subscription. The scent fills my bathroom and then into my bedroom and hallway when I open the door after my shower!" "These are so relaxing, they smell amazing and really do help calm you down and make you feel like you're in a spa. I got these as a gift and have purchased them two more times," said another relaxed reviewer. A third five-star fan shared, "These shower bombs totally transformed my normal shower routine ... I always shower just before bed, and thought I would try these to pamper myself a little! ... I also really like that these are individually packaged — I can envision taking one on a weekend trip or even giving one with a friend in a little care package if she seems to need a little pick-me-up, thanks to the portability." While most reviewers raved about these steamers, one customer pointed out, "One downside to these is that they do temporarily color-stain your tub in a round shape from where the fizzer was placed. It's not horrible, and it can be wiped away, or it'll wash away after a bit." Another shopper noted this: "If your bathroom is too small or doesn't have enough ventilation, [the steamer's scent] can be a bit on the stronger side." However, they were able to remedy that: "I found breaking each one into two actually helps and still lasts throughout my entire shower. Plus, then you get twice as many uses." Want to mix things up? This multipack comes with a variety of scents: Eucalyptus & Mint, Citrus, Lavender, Jasmine, Bergamot Spring and Chamomile, all made with essential oils. And if you want to give your tootsies a little love too, Amazon shoppers love this scrubber: This little mat is lined with flexible bristles to massage your feet while you bathe. It also helps exfoliate dry skin and smooth calluses. "Suction is great. And this mat feels amazing, especially after a long, hard day at work," gushed an enthusiast. "At first it tickled, then it was awesome. I run around barefoot pretty much all day. Some days, my feet get disgusting and it's hard to get the gunk off. This gets it all off!" If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
