You promised this year would be different. You would buy your Mother’s Day gift weeks in advance and spend the days leading up to celebration perfecting a heartfelt card. But then you looked at a calendar and realized the big day was less than a week away—and now you’re scrambling for the best last-minute Mother’s Day gifts.

Don’t panic. We’ve all been there and there’s still just enough time to find a gift that shows her how much you really care. Whether it’s an item with two-day shipping or a recurring subscription that reminds your mom just how much you love her every month, we’ve got a run down of 11 last-minute gifts that won’t feel like you waited until, well, the last minute.

1. mbg's sleep support+ subscription

Moms may have the superhuman ability to thrive on less than eight hours of sleep, but it doesn’t mean they should. Help promote deep and restorative sleep with a subscription to mindbodygreen's sleep support+, a melatonin-free supplement with a science-backed formula that helps you fall asleep and stay there.* Bonus: Opting for a monthly subscription saves $10 on every bottle.

2. Bloomscape

Give mom’s space an upgrade with a bit of greenery. We vote for a low-maintenance option, like Bloomscape’s Tough Stuff Collection. It pairs three easy-going plant varieties that thrive in any lighting situation and require minimal watering. You’ll also have the choice of three pot colors: white, terracotta, and brown.

3. Cariuma Sneakers

Never underestimate the value of a practical gift like comfy footwear. Launched earlier this year, the Cariuma Salvas are comfortable enough to wear right out of the box. While you’ll need to opt for a gift card or accept a late arrival of these sustainable sneakers, they’re definitely a gift mom won’t mind receiving this year. Plus, every pair purchased equals two trees planted, so Mother Earth benefits, too.

4. Daily Harvest

A delivery from Daily Harvest is the closest thing you can offer to the gift of time. The brand’s curated selection of frozen plant-based items cut back on kitchen prep without sacrificing on nutrition. Choose from a satiating line-up of oatmeal, smoothies, chia bowls, bakes, and more. FYI, the just-released protein crumbles make the perfect addition to salads and flatbreads alike.

5. Kindle

What better way is there to complete a relaxing bubble bath than with a good book—and the waterproof Kindle’s Paperwhite is the perfect match.

9. Theraface Pro

Apparently shoppers loved the original Therabody massagers so much, they begged the brand to create a device specifically for the face.

Plus, you can get free expedited shipping through May 5.
