A Book of the Month Subscription
If your mom loves to read, you can give her the gift of new novels with a subscription to Book of the Month. This unique subscription box allows recipients to choose one of five new books each month — they focus on early releases, fresh perspectives and debut authors. Past titles include “Little Fires Everywhere,” which is now a hit show on Hulu, and “The Silent Patient,” a recent New York Times Bestseller.
With Book of the Month’s gifting options, you can give your mother a 3-, 6- or 12-month plan, helping her to expand her personal library with great new reads. Who knows, maybe she’ll even share the books with you when she’s finished.
An eGift Card to Sephora
Does your mother love all things skincare, makeup and beauty? If so, you can’t go wrong getting her an eGift Card to Ulta, one of the top makeup stores around. You can choose from a variety of Mother’s Day-themed designs and put any amount of money on the card. The gift will be delivered right to your mom’s email address, allowing her to shop online or go into her local Ulta to pick out new products — and she’ll think of you while doing so!
A Flower Subscription from Bouqs
If one bouquet simply isn’t enough, you can give your mother several months of beautiful arrangements with a flower subscription from Bouqs. There are three types of bouquets to choose from — an all-rose option, classic arrangements that focus on one type of flower or farmer’s market picks that incorporate unique blooms and greenery.
You can also select from three bouquet sizes and opt to have flowers delivered on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly basis. The stems will always be freshly cut and sourced from sustainable farms. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
A FabFitFun Subscription
Gift your mother a selection of the coolest accessories, beauty products and other fun surprises with a gift card to FabFitFun. Gift cards can be purchased in denominations of $25, $60, $100 and more, and recipients can use the funds toward the popular subscription box, which will be delivered to their door four times a year.
What will they get? Each FabFitFun box includes between eight and 10 full-size, premium products (no samples here!) worth over $200. Common items include trendy makeup and beauty products, pretty accessories like scarves or earrings, and even home decor items like candles or trinket bowls. Each quarterly box costs $50, and shipping is free within the U.S.
A Gift Card for Etsy
No matter what your mother is into — be it crafting supplies, homemade jewelry and decor or antiques — she’ll surely find a way to use an Etsy gift card, which is available in $25, $50, $100 and $250 denominations and will be delivered right to her email.
If you’re not familiar with this online marketplace, Etsy allows people to sell a huge selection of homemade, vintage and custom products, including just about anything you can think of. Your mom could get a custom engraved cutting board, a handmade planter or a hand-painted portrait of her dog! The sky is the limit on Etsy, which is what makes it such a great gift.
A Scentbird Subscription
Scentbird is another amazing gift for women that like beauty products. This subscription service provides recipients with a new perfume each month, including more than 500 scents from top brands like Gucci, Tom Ford and Versace. The perfume comes in 8-milliliter bottles that will last a month or so, and it costs just $15 per box.
Scentbird is a great way to try out new perfumes without committing to a full bottle, and there are several ways to give it as a gift, including 3-, 6- or 12-month subscriptions, gift boxes with pre-selected luxury scents or gift cards. If your mom loves trying out new scents, this gift is sure to hit the mark.
