9 Ultra-Last-Minute Cards and Gifts to Shower Mom With Love
She gave you life. She bakes the best brownies. And she still does your laundry when you come home for a visit. How do you say “thank you” to the woman who is not just your mom but also your forever friend? That brunch you’re planning is a start, and quality time is another fave, but if Mother’s Day snuck up on you this year (dang it, iCal!) and getting Mom that perfect gift or thoughtful card fell through the cracks, no worries. We’ve rounded up nine last-minute digital cards and e-gifts that will make her feel loved and appreciated — and she’ll never know you didn’t pick ’em out months ago.
Paperless Post eCard
Even if you’re separated by miles, send Mom a virtual card that says “I’m thinking of you” without skimping on style. They can even be personalized with your own photos of you together.
