36 Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Ideas She’s Guaranteed to Love

Since most of us won’t be able to celebrate with our moms in person this year, it suddenly feels even more important to get her something special—something that you know she’ll really love.

So I decided to enlist the help of an expert: my mom! Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Mother’s Day shopping, it’s that moms really do know best. (In my experience, if you go rogue with a gift you “think” she might like…there’s a 99% chance she’ll end up returning it.)

I asked my mom to send me a list of her favorite things, as well as things she’s had her eye on for a while. I also asked the women in my Facebook group to share the best Mother’s Day gifts they’ve ever given or received.

Below is a compilation of the top responses (organized by price.) Happy shopping!
