If there has ever been a time a mom needed to know she’s appreciated, I’d say this is it. We moms have always been the backbone of a family, making sure everyone is taken care of and feeling loved, but with COVID-19 added to the equation, the load of every mom got even heavier. 

We are no longer just the nurturers, cooks, drivers, managers, and maids, we are now also teachers, art instructors, coaches, and health code enforcers.  And in the case of some moms working in the health care, grocery, delivery, and sanitization industries, moms are also superheroes saving the world.

One thing this whole COVID-19 pandemic taught us is to let the people we care about know that we love them and appreciate them. This Mother’s Day, that person are all of the moms out there.  And even though you might not be able to hug them right now, you shouldn’t let that stop you from making them feel special.

So if you thought that you could get away with just a box of chocolates picked up at the store at the last minute, think again.  Since most stores are now closed, online shopping is your friend.  See below for suggestions on gifts that might bring a smile to a mom’s face.  And if you are a mom yourself, feel free to email those links to your spouse.  A little hint never hurt. Just remember, since deliveries are now taking a bit longer than normal, place your orders as soon as possible.

Here are some suggestions for great Mother’s Day gifts that are sure to make any mom smile.

One thing I always love sending to my mom is a beautiful card. This year I found some very unique pop-up cards like this bird house card from Paper Greeting Cards . Their selection is very impressive and they are sure to be a hit.

Does your mom love to read and listen to podcasts? If the answer is yes, consider gifting your mom a subscription to Kindle Unlimited Membership Plans or Audible Gift Memberships . She will immediately gain access to thousands of e-books, podcasts, and audio books.

As with most special occasions, you can’t go wrong with a delivery of a beautiful, floral bouquet like this Bees Knees Bouquet, a gift basket or a stunning, blooming plant. Please check out Flowers Fast.com for same-day deliveries and great prices.

If you are looking for more gift ideas, below are my top picks of items any mom would love. To help your mom unwind at the end of a long day consider lavender candle,   fuzzy slippers for her tired feet, lavender bath products, moisturizing gloves (for her hands chapped from washing hands and dishes every five minutes), ROC facial products to help her stay looking young, a cool Momma Bear hat or wine tumbler, jewelry, or the never failing Amazon Gift Card. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices.

I hope this guide will help you find the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
