5 Last Minute Gifts For Mom

We were just talking about how we seem to get our mothers the same thing each year for Mother's Day. And lets be honest, she would probably be thrilled with the card and flowers that you always order two days prior. But we came up with five fabulous last minute Mother's Day gifts if you are looking to get her something different this year...


1. Chocolate covered...anything

It seems like six or seven years ago, no one had Edible Arrangement type gifts on the radar. Now it seems like people are dipping almost everything in chocolate. But if you want to skip the sometimes lofty price tag for these treats, you can make your own at home. We found a great chocolate covered strawberries recipe here. 



2. Cocktail napkins (paired with her favorite cocktail of course)

For the mom who loves to entertain we think that these are perfect for a bit of a giggle, especially if you pair them with her favorite drink!

3. An old photo in a new frame

Wave, New Canaan, CT 

Print out your favorite picture of you and your leading lady from when you were little and put it in a pretty frame. It will be sure to strike up some fun blasts from the past at the dinner table.

4. Statement necklace

She La La, New Canaan, CT 

Give your mom some credit in the fashion department. These big necklaces are seen everywhere these days, regardless of age. Everyone likes bright colors this time of year, and it will be sure to put some spring in her step.

5. Pretty place setting

Make your mom a yummy homemade brunch and present it to her with pretty new place settings, linens or teacups.


All of these gifts are sure to please, but don't forget that the one thing moms want most is to spend quality time with their children. With that thought, Mary is off this afternoon to help her mom plant a garden. It is a gorgeous day today so get out there and treat your mom to the thing that matters most this weekend- one on one time.
