The 15 best last-minute Mother's Day gifts that will arrive just in time
May really gives us a run for our money. There's end-of-school madness (and the long list of events that it brings), Memorial Day travels, spring weddings, graduations, the list goes on. But before you skip right ahead to summer, take time to shower your mom with love and gifts — Mother's Day is on Sunday, after all. And since it's coming up quick, I'd suggest snagging one of these last-minute Mother's Day gifts to guarantee on-time arrival. 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 The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

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.

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.

The easy way to make a strawberry matcha latte
Sweet strawberry dreams Now for the strawberry base—this is what adds that signature fruity sweetness and stunning colour contrast. No need to boil strawberries over a stove for hours; we are keeping it simple here. Take a heaping teaspoon of your favourite strawberry jam (Bonne Maman works beautifully, but any thick jam or preserve will do), and spoon it directly into the bottom of your glass. Be generous with it—the more you add, the sweeter and more pronounced the strawberry flavour will be. If you prefer, you can also use ready-made strawberry puree or compote, or even blend fresh strawberries with a splash of honey or maple syrup for something homemade and rustic. This layer adds that burst of berry goodness and balances the slight bitterness of the matcha—trust us, you are going to love this combo. The milky middle Next comes the milk. Pour in about half a cup of your milk of choice—fresh dairy milk, oat milk, almond milk, or soy all work well. It is all about preference. The creaminess of the milk (especially oat or whole milk) adds a luscious richness to the drink and helps tie everything together. Watch as the strawberry jam starts to swirl into the milk. You could stop here and just admire those layers for a second—the pink, white and green contrast is the kind of thing you see all over Instagram for a reason. Once the milk is in, gently pour your matcha on top. If you are careful with your pouring technique (tip: pour over the back of a spoon), you will get beautifully distinct layers. Or just go wild and let it all swirl together—both ways taste phenomenal.

But if you are feeling extra—and we hope you are—why not take it to the next level? As recommended by Katelyn, our Dining Editor, you should top your drink with a generous swirl of whipped cream for that dessert-like finish. You can even sprinkle on some matcha powder or crushed freeze-dried strawberries for a café-style flourish. A drizzle of extra strawberry syrup down the inside of the glass never hurt either. This extra layer adds richness and texture, making your drink taste like a luxe dessert in a cup. And let us be honest—sometimes we all deserve a little indulgence. Sip, smile, repeat Above Strawberry matcha latte done (Photo: Instagram / @theslottedspoons) And that is it! A strawberry matcha latte you can make in under 10 minutes, with zero fancy tools and ingredients that you probably already have at home. It is refreshing, energising, and completely customisable to your taste. This drink is perfect for slow mornings, afternoon pick-me-ups, or serving at your next gathering when you want to show off a little. Whether you are Team Frothy Matcha or just in it for the strawberry swirls, this drink never disappoints. So go ahead—grab a whisk, pick your jam, and make this dreamy drink your own. Once you start, you will be making it on repeat. Trust us, your kitchen is about to become your new favourite matcha café.
