There’s less than two weeks to go before Mother’s Day, and if it snuck up on you (again) this year, you’re not alone. Now, you’ve got three options. (Actually, make that two, because option no. 3—which is to disappoint dear old mom with a whole lot of nothing—isn’t really all that viable, now is it?)

• Option no. 1: Panic, spend hours searching the internet for just the thing, only to give up and send mom something cringey, like a vacuum attachment.
  
• Option no. 2: Relax, because my Mother’s Day gift guide is chock-full of seriously legitimate presents that mom will actually like—and most have express shipping options.

Some of these gifts will be tried (flowers? For Mother’s Day? Groundbreaking), but also true, while others, like Vivrelle’s designer purse membership, are likely to be new to your family matriarch. It doesn’t really matter which one you choose, however, because they’re all pretty fab, if I do say so myself.

I made sure to select things for a wide range of budgets (products range from $14 to $349) and there’s options for every kind of mom, from the plant-obsessed to the ultra-anxious.

Below, I give you my Mother’s Day gift guide for 2026.

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

1. UrbanStems Petals & Prosecco

If there’s a mom who wouldn’t appreciate a little bubbly with her flowers, I’m not sure I want to know her. UrbanStems teamed up with Avaline (yes, the Cameron Diaz-backed organic wine company) for two special Mother’s Day offerings, one of which is the featured Petals & Prosecco. Composed of pink and white roses and garden roses, the flower arrangement comes in a box with easy instructions—take the rubber bands off, fill a vase with the included flower food, trim the stems and pop them in a vase. (If you’re not sure she has a vase, you can get a matching rose quartz pink one for $25 at checkout.)

There’s also an all-white Blanc in Bloom option, which features an all-white bouquet of roses, garden and spray roses, ranunculus, carnations, ornithogalum, lisianthus, ruscus and eucalyptus and comes with a bottle of Sauvy B.

• Shipping: 5/7 to 5/9 delivery
• Note that the Avaline part will not ship to New Jersey, Delaware, Maine, Rhode Island, Utah, Alaska or Hawaii.

2. ELDPS Mama Sweatshirt

Moms get put through their fair share of discomfort (hello, birth), so it’s only right to gift her something that puts her comfort at a premium for once. The block “Mama” lettering here is also super cute—particularly for a new mom.

• Shipping:  Free two-day shipping available for Prime members

3. Oak & Luna Belle Custom Name Necklace

This personalized Oak & Luna piece is one she’ll wear for years to come. You can personalize it with her name or the name of her child, and If you’re feeling extra generous, you can even add a diamond to the chain. You can get it in everything from silver to 10K solid yellow gold, and there are three different chain lengths available.

• Shipping: Express shipping available ($15)

4. Sur la Table x Mariana Velásquez Lips Pot Holder

If mom’s a cook, there’s a good chance she’ll appreciate a gift from Sur La Table. And honestly, even if she’s not, the site’s new collab with food stylist and chef Mariana Velásquez is so pretty, she’ll still appreciate it. Seriously, how cute is this lips pot holder?   

5. Vivrelle Membership

Mom deserves the best, and that’s exactly what she’ll get with a monthly Virvrelle membership, which will allow her access to Chanel, Prada and Gucci, Cartier and more to her heart’s desire. True, they’ll all be handbag and jewelry rentals, but no one will know the difference when she’s flexing her new wares at the golf club, and any sting she feels upon returning her purse each month will quickly dissipate when she orders her next treasure. Note that she’ll need to apply to get in to borrow: use code NICOLEBRIESE for a free month of membership.

6. Mersea x Selma Blair Sea La Vie Sunny Sailor Set

Nice pj’s are one of those things that everyone loves having but rarely buys for themselves. This set from Selma Blair’s new collab with Mersea is 100 percent cotton with contrast piping and super sweet details, like the “sweet dreams” stitching at the cuff and the “xoxo” on the pant ties. I also love that 10 percent of all proceeds will go to the American Brain Foundation.

• Shipping: FedEx two-day shipping available

7. Bandolier Hailey Essentials Set

If mom doesn’t have a Bandolier by now, it’s high time she did: It’s basically the phone case to end all phone cases. The removable crossbody strap means she’ll be able to carry her phone around hands-free without  worrying about misplacing it, and the attached wallet, which fits up to seven cards (it says five, but I’ve fit more), will quickly replace her need for a purse. This set also includes a matching expanded pouch for any extras (think keys, lip gloss, ect) and an AirPods case. There’s no express shipping available, however, so I strongly advise ordering ASAP.

• Shipping: Standard

8. Aeston West Signature Discovery Set

Aeston West just launched in October 2025, but trust me when I say it’s one of the most luxe skincare brands you’ll come across for the price. There are just three items in the whole collection—a Cleansing Nectar ($58), a Treatment Mist ($78) and a Signature Serème ($98)—and this little discovery set will let her test all three for $50. All three products are based on one signature ingredient, cellvitate, which the company claims will “repair visible signs of aging while protecting against future damage.”  While I’m always skeptical of making any such claim (unless you’re a scientist conducting a controlled experiment, has anyone ever really been able to attribute a reversed forehead wrinkle to their face serum?), but I can say with confidence that it lives up to its claims of luxury. The serème, in particular, is a treat to slather on and smells like you’re in a Waldorf Spa.

• Shipping: Two-to-three business day and one-to-two-business day shipping available

 9. Chanel La Crème Main

This little luxury is something she’s not likely to buy for herself, but something she’ll enjoy having on hand (get it?) when she’s out and about. It’s lightweight, has a delicate scent (no grandma-y powder fragrance here) and will easily fit in her favorite purse.

• Shipping: Two-day shipping available in select locations and in-store pickup available

10. Abbode Signature Small Croc Pouch

For the jet-setting mom, I present this vegan leather carryall, which will organize all her makeup on-the-go. It won’t be relegated to the cupboard underneath the sink once she gets home, however. No, this baby’s cute enough to stay out all year round, especially since you can customize it with mom’s name and a symbol that’s representative of her, be it an airplane, a miniature sun or a martini glass.

• Shipping: Priority, rush and rush express shipping available, but may not arrive by Mother’s Day

11. Solawave Neck & Chest Pro Light Therapy Mask

Mom probably has a million creams and serums for her face by now, and maybe even a red light therapy mask. Know what she probably doesn’t have? Anything to even out the dark spots, splotchiness or discoloration on her chest or to smooth its texture. Enter: This genius Solawave invention, which is designed specifically for those all-too-telling areas.

• Shipping: Two-to-three business day and next-day shipping available

12. Cool Moms Tote

Mom doesn’t just belong to the “Cool Moms Social Club,” she’s the C.E.O.—and you can make sure she knows it with this adorable tote, which has a little pocket for her favorite book at the back.

• Shipping: Express (two to three business days) and expedited (one to two business days) shipping available

13. Satsuki Azalea Bonsai Tree

If mom loves to garden, you can’t go wrong with a flowering bonsai. They live for 60 to 100 years, and are even somewhat cold hardy, allowing them to thrive over long periods. The flowers bloom in the spring, so each year, she’ll have a new reminder of your lovely gift.

• Shipping: Dependent on location

14. Cured Serenity Gummies

Got a mom who needs to chill? These serenity gummies have just the tiniest bit of THC (seriously, it’s less than .3 percent), so they don’t make you sleepy or slow (I’ve tested them, and I’m highly sensitive to it), but they do take the edge off, if just a bit. (Pst—use code NICOLEBRIESE for 15% off.)

• Shipping: Express shipping available

15. Violette_FR LIKHÂ Straw Tote

A gift by moms for moms is always a good idea. This little artisan tote is not only handmade in the Phillipines using all-natural fibers, 100 percent of its profits will be donated to support artisans and craft communities worldwide. It also just so happens to be the perfect summer bag. (Miiiiiight need to steal this one from mom.)
