We are just five days to Mother’s Day (yes, five) and for those of you who already have a flower delivery en route and have completed a hundred-page scrapbook project for Mom, hats off to you. As for the rest who are Googling up a storm on a last minute gift that doesn’t scream “I forgot,” we’re here to help. Everything on this list ships within the next two days (some you can even get right now) and it’s all SO GOOD.

Fellow Stagg EKG Electric Pour-Over Kettle ($149). If Mama’s a coffee or tea lover, this stylish electric kettle is for her. The kettle has a temperature range from 105°F to 212°F to get the optimal setting for her perfect cup and can even hold the right temp for 60 minutes. It’s also beautiful enough to be an art piece.

BD Edition Silver Octopus Bookends ($71). Keep Mom’s shelfie looking sharp with a pair of silver-toned resin octopus bookends. Standing at seven inches tall apiece, this gorgeous duo might just become an heirloom someday.

Bourina Throw Blanket ($20). Measuring 50” by 60”, this cozy throw comes in 15 gorgeous colors. It’s the perfect cover for when Mom wants to snuggle up on the couch and catch up on her Netflix shows. Also, she’ll love that it’s machine washable.

Tozai Genuine Agate Golden Pitcher ($106). This might be the most beautiful pitcher to ever drink water out of (and don’t worry, it IS food safe). It even comes packaged in a nifty little gift box. Additionally, it’s 20% off right now with the code “MOTHER,” so act fast.

The Mothers by Brit Bennett ($15). Okay, so the title is a little on-the-nose, but this lyrical, coming-of-age novel by Brit Bennett is simply stunning. It tells the story of 17-year-old Nadia Turner and the community of mothers who at times failed her but also raised her. If Mom’s a reader, add this to her must-read list. Order the hardcover copy for Prime shipping or the Kindle version to download immediately.

BD Edition Moroccan Style Wedding Quilt ($300). If your mom’s anything like me, she’s been wanting a Moroccan wedding blanket her whole life (hint, hint), but knows that the real thing can carry a hefty price tag. Burke Decor currently has 20% off their entire site with the code “MOTHER” so now is the time to pounce.

oulin's Mini Portable Cool Mist Ultrasonic Humidifier ($19). Banish dry air around Mom with this mini portable humidifier. It holds about five hours worth of water and is powered via USB, so she can keep it on her desk at work or even better, in the cup holder of her car.

The Printable Concept Terrazzo Printable ($7). For the mom with her own gallery wall, this instantly downloadable art is the perfect gift. The Printable Concept even provides a comprehensive guide on how to properly print out your high-resolution piece. This download includes four files in four different aspect ratios, so you can get the right size to display. Pair it with a frame like this black Americanflat 8x10 Picture Frame ($12) and have it hanging-ready in no time.

Teroforma Set of Four Pinch & Pour Bowls ($60). Handcrafted out of stoneware, this attractive little set will up any mom’s kitchen game. Each mini bowl is stands at just 3.5” wide and 2” tall. They’re ideal for holding sugars (white and brown), creamer, and oat milk for morning coffee.

DockATot Deluxe+ Dock ($195). Give the on-trend new mom or mom-to-be in your life peace of mind with a gorgeous baby lounger. This portable lounger is cushy, made with 100% cotton covers, easy to clean, and attaches to a variety of accessories to keep baby sleeping and playing for longer.

Avec Les Filles Gift Card ($25 to $1000). It might be hard to shop for the trendy mom, so why not let her choose her own gift? Founder Joyce Azria is the daughter of Max Azria, and she’s inherited her pop’s design chops with a fashion-forward, well-priced brand that makes us want to redo our closets STAT.

Sir/Madam Hero Endearment Grand Cup ($18). Make it clear to mom what role she has in your life with this sweet mug. Made of stoneware and microwave and dishwasher safe, this cup is as hardy as the strongest woman you know.

Newgate Skyscraper Alarm Clock ($39). This is the alarm clock to end all alarm clocks. Not only does it have a timeless face and a sleek gold-and-black profile, it also has silent-sweep movement, so no ticking will keep Mom up at night. The best news for you is it won’t break the bank AND you can expect it to ship and receive tracking in one to two business days.

Dassie Artisan Batari Chair ($195). If you thought you wouldn’t be able to buy Mom furniture that shipped out within two days, think again. At the time of publication, this lightweight cane chair is also 20% off with the code “MOTHER.” Add a brightly colored cushion to make an Instagram-worthy reading corner.
