Uber’s New Offering Will Save Your Impending Mother’s Day Fiasco In Less Than 60 Minutes

If you’ve clicked on this article, you’ve realised you’ve royally f*cked up and forgotten to get your mum a Mother’s Day gift. And unless you’re express shipping something, like, right now, you’ve probably missed the cut-off window for a lot of online stores. So, unless you’ve got time to go and find a gift in person, or make something yourself, you’re on track to being the least favourite child for the forseeable future.

 

Unless…

Uber Eats has expanded its offering right in time for Mother’s Day. While a piping hot meal might appease your mum, the brand has now introduced delivery from select retailers. So if she’s a material gworl, you can still shower her in gifts from her wishlist.

And the retailers on Uber Eats’ lineup offer plenty of variety. You’ll find Coles, Officeworks, Bunnings, and select Priceline stores on the app — so whether your mum is into baking, self-care or DIYs around the house, you’re in no shortage of gift opportunities.

Uber Eats’ partnership with each of the brands promises in-store prices — so you’re not copping a markup fee just because you’re shopping on the delivery app — and delivery in 60 minutes or less. If you’re chronically forgetful, or a little too Type B when it comes to gift giving (AKA my boyfriend, who doesn’t organise presents until the morning of), the speedy delivery will really come in clutch.

Planning on taking the Uber Eats route this Mother’s Day but don’t know what to add to your cart? Lucky for you, gift giving is my love language, so I’m here to provide ideas that’ll not only tick ‘Mothers’ Day gift’ off the to-do list, but genuinely impress her. After all, mums are one of the most difficult people in the family to buy for (coming in a close second to dad, who takes the gold medal).

4 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas You Can Shop On Uber Eats

DIY Mother’s Day Hamper

If there’s no one specific thing that your mum wants, why not surprise her with a hamper filled with all of her favourite things? You can get a basket and tissue paper from Officeworks on Uber Eats, then fill it with things like face masks, skincare and snacks from Coles on Uber Eats. You could even include a crafty activity from Bunnings, like a mosaic kit or paint by numbers set.

A Tech Upgrade

Officeworks on Uber Eats comes in handy if you’re looking to get your mum a tech upgrade this Mother’s Day. Whether that’s headphones, a new iPhone, Samsung or laptop is entirely up to you. Personally, I’m considering getting the Sony WH-1000XM6 noice-cancelling headphones for my mum. She adores playing her shows out loud, and I’d like to give her an introduction to the big wide world of consuming content without everyone else in her vicinity also having to listen to it!

Some New Gardening Supplies

If your mum has a green thumb, you’ll be happy to hear Bunnings has its gardening supplies on Uber Eats. I’m sure she’d appreciate a new shovel, pair of gardening gloves, or even some new plants to nurture. Yes, you can Uber Eats plants. How wild?!

A Moment To Self Reflect

Since mums’ schedules are filled to the brim 99 per cent of the time, giving them the tools for a moment of self reflection and care is a thoughtful gift idea they’ll appreciate. Whether you get them a cute stationary set and a blank notebook or guided journal from Officeworks on Uber Eats, you’ll provide them with the opportunity to take a beat and process everything swirling around in those busy heads of theirs.

Want to investigate exactly what Uber Eats has on offer for Mother’s Day? You can do that here. Just don’t forget to order it a couple hours before your Mother’s Day lunch at the ABSOLUTE latest. Otherwise, I can’t help you.
