I never have enough time to get really nice Mother’s Day gifts. I am also lazy when it comes to these kinds of holidays, but I always want to get my mom and all the other moms in my life something nice for the holiday. One of the ways I have found that make my life easier is to order things online for these kinds of occasions.
Berries – I love Shari’s Berries. The quality is great, they ship quickly, and honestly they are sooo good! I have both sent them to people I love and had them sent to me. I especially love that they have such a huge variety of delicious treats. The berries on their own are awesome, but there are great baskets and chocolate treats as well.
Cupcakes – Ok, so I am slightly obsessed with Georgetown Cupcakes. These are seriously delicious, and there are so many choices! Sending a dozen costs about 50-60 dollars, which is pretty reasonable, and the best part is that they are shipped quickly. My sister turned me onto these when she sent them to me for my birthday a couple of years ago. They have a ton of flavors, and most of them are available in gluten free form as well, which is amazing for someone like me who can’t tolerate gluten.
Flowers – Flowers are an easy way to go for Mother’s Day and other similar holidays. I’ve been using ProFlowers because it has really good quality and a huge selection. I personally prefer to send a living plant rather than cut flowers, and ProFlowers has a really nice selection of living plants. There are also some nice extras like teddy bears or a plant of the month option.
Italian Beef – Ok, so I know this sounds kind of weird, but once you taste this, you will love it! I have a brother in law from Chicago, and I send him the Italian beef for many occasions. It is super easy to order, and it is pretty affordable. Plus, it actually tastes pretty authentic. I have had Portillos in Chicago and this is almost as good!
Meal Service – One of the best ways for me to show someone I love them is to cook them a nice meal. When you are far away from your mom, an easy way to send her that kind of home cooked meal is through a meal kit service. I have been using Plated on and off for a few years now, and I really like the quality and the freshness. They have a pretty great selection of meals, and the pricing is reasonable. So, if you want to give your mom a break, consider sending her a few meals from Plated, or any of the other awesome meal kits services out there!
Magazine – I love being able to spend an evening each month reading my Sunset magazine. It has great articles and recipes, plus it usually has amazing photography. Giving a yearly magazine subscription is a really easy Mother’s Day gift. The best part is that these are usually really affordable, and the receiver will get one gift each month!
What are your go-to online gifts for Mother’s Day? And what would you love to receive?

Ooo I want Portillos for myself now, haha!
I have lists on Amazon where I would save anything I come across as potential gifts for people, and when occasions arise I dig through those lists to see if there are anything good!

We sent Jeni’s Ice Cream to my MIL this year. It’s $55 for 3 pints, which is definitely spendy for ice cream. But if you’ve ever had Jeni’s, you know it’s worth it and it’s a totally fun package to receive in the mail.

Good to know Portillos mail order is good – DH misses it so I might get him this for Father’s Day. I ordered that Native deodorant Mother’s Day scent gift set – I keep hearing great things about that deodorant yet it’s too much of splurge to get routinely.

Love Georgetown cupcakes! A magazine subscription is a really good idea. It’s the gift that keeps on giving… for at least a year.
