Last Minute Gift Ideas for Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner. Did the holiday sneak up on you? If so, these last minute gift ideas will be sure to bring a smile to Mom’s face.

I already know what I’m getting for Mother’s Day this year: a new daughter-in-law! Our son Samuel is getting married tomorrow, just four days before he graduates from medical school, and we could not be any happier with his choice. His beloved is beautiful, inside and out, and we are delighted to have her join our family.

Barring the option of offering up a once-in-a-lifetime gift like a bride and a Sunday wedding, there are many other great ways to remember Mom on her special day, even if you’ve waited until the last minute to think of it. Here are some of the favorite gifts I’ve received in years past from my children. Maybe your mother would be equally thrilled with something off this list:

8 last minute gift ideas for Mother’s Day that Mom is sure to love

  1. Flowers

    Store-bought bouquets are pretty, but I especially adore the handpicked variety. Arrange a fistful of wildflowers in a mason jar, tie a scrap of lace around the neck of it, and give it to your mother with a hug or a kiss.

  3. Crafts

    Pot holders woven on plastic looms. Pictures painted in vivid water colors. Handprints immortalized in ink or clay. This is the stuff that mothers cherish. One year, my son fastened two squares of scrap lumber together with leather hinges and wood-burned his entire Mother’s Day message to me. I still treasure that gift and all the love that he poured into it.

  5. Photos

    Print some special snapshots of Mom’s favorite subjects – you! – and frame them with popsicle sticks or construction paper borders. If you’re feeling really industrious, put the pics in a photo album or scrapbook to be expanded upon in the future.

  6. Printables

    I designed this set of Mother’s Day printables for little ones to complete for Mom. They can write or dictate the answers to the writing prompts and color the pictures to look like their own mother. The results are sure to delight the honored recipient!

  7. Snacks

    Bake Mom some cookies. Bring her a cup of hot tea. Fix her a hearty sandwich and a bowl of soup. Give her any kind of chocolate. Mothers have to eat too and are always grateful when somebody else does the cooking (especially if they clean up the kitchen mess, as well). I once had a toddler surprise me with a big bowl of juicy cherries and crunchy corn chips she’d mixed up herself; I ate every bite, happy to have a girl so eager to serve.

  9. Handwritten Card

    Use our free printable greeting cards to send Mom a letter letting her know exactly how much you love and appreciate her. The insides of these Mother’s Day cards are blank, so you have plenty of room for writing your own sentiment.

  10. Notes

    In my book, it’s hard to beat a newsy letter or handwritten card, although a couple of my girls have found one way, by hiding lots of little love notes for me all around the house. They write sweet messages on sticky notes and affix them to light switches, cereal boxes, computer screens, car keys, or countless other places where I’m sure to (eventually) find them. It makes my heart happy every time a new one shows up.

  11. Coupons

    Make a booklet of vouchers you know Mom would like: breakfast in bed, a 15-minute back rub, some help with the chores, an hour of uninterrupted silence (or download and print our ready-made Mother’s Day Coupons). Make sure she knows that the coupons never expire can be redeemed whenever she likes. This is a gift that keeps on giving — so you can celebrate and honor your Mom, not only on Mother’s Day, but every day of the year!

We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone We love our sweet girl. I’m not sure why anyone as gregarious as Rebekah finds this “don’t talk to me” meme so hilarious (see my last post for pictures), as she is an amazing conversationalist and always has been.  I even thought about stitching a disclaimer on the back of the Christmas sweater (my gift to her) that read: “These dogs may be anti-social, but I love meeting new people, so introduce yourself!”  #strikeupaconversation
So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated fro So a couple of months before Rebekah graduated from nursing school, her sister/roommate Bethany came up with a plan that the whole family should memorialize her accomplishment with hand-crafted gifts featuring a meme that — for whatever reason — totally cracks Bekah up. Here’s the results of our labors ( minus the doggie-embellished flower pot Beth gave her early. I didn’t get a picture of that one). 
Next batch of photos, I’ll share Bekah’s reaction to the gifts. Spoiler: She loved them!.  #flandersfamilycreates

Celebrating our newest UTTyler graduate 👩‍🎓: We couldn’t be prouder of our tender-hearted Rebekah. She loves the LORD, cares deeply about others, and is going to make a fantastic nurse. Keep up the good work @flander.7 ❤️❤️  #classof22 #uttyler #nursingschool
I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics I’m finally getting around to posting a few pics from our family’s recent stay in Cleburne (with a day trip to the Fort Worth Zoo).  There are so many fun, free things to do in Cleburne! Our favorite? The free community showing of the at the @laylandmuseum of the classic film Charade (starring Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant) with free popcorn, saltwater taffy, and bottled root beer provided by @trovatostreet. What a treat! We’re so glad our trip coincided with this monthly event.  #flandersfamilytravels
Dress for the career you want, they say. Judging Dress for the career you want, they say.  Judging by my grandson’s choice of clothes, he wants a career where he can fight fires, do surgery, and demonstrate his ninja skills — all at the same time. Oh, and also ride his bike to work.  For months now, he has been living in the same set of scrubs I stitched for his daddy at that age. They’re holding up pretty well!  #raidingthecostumecloset #thejoysofdressingup
