The Ultimate Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gift Guide!

Share Article

No matter how many times Mom taught us not to wait till the last minute, we still find ourselves rushing to meet deadlines, nearly missing some appointments, and, um, shopping for her at the last moment.  (!)  Thankfully, we’ve assembled the following gift guide, all with gifts available via overnight shipping on Amazon.com:

1.)  Jason Wu Orchid Rain Designer Candle ($48.00, Amazon.com).   Candles can seem like generic gifts, but this one is different.  Replete with an eco-savvy twist (i.e., soy paraffin wax, recycled cotton wick), the Jason Wu Orchid Rain Designer Candle is as beautiful and modern as the woman for whom it’s purchased.  If a candle was ever be a statement piece, this one would be it.

2.)  TRIA Hair Removal Device ($395.00, Amazon.com).  One of my new favorite devices, the TRIA Hair Removal Device is the first FDA-approved device for at-home permanent hair removal.  Employing the same laser technology used in dermatologists’ offices and medical spas, just at a lower strength, use of the TRIA Hair Removal Device once per week for three months results in reduced – if not eliminated – hair growth.  If your mother is the stick-to-it type, she’ll absolutely love this.  I got my mother one for Mother’s Day, and she was beyond thrilled!

3.)  Amazon Kindle ($79.00, Amazon.com).  I’m admittedly still the old-school type who likes the look and feel of an actual book (I’m a sucker for typefont, what can I say!), but I’ve started to transition to the Kindle.  I like it just because I can purchase 2-3 bestsellers for the cost of one hardcover, and I still have change left over to buy my favorites when they come out in softcover form.  For this price – the lowest I’ve seen – it’s definitely worth a shot, especially if your Mom reads as much as mine does!

4.)  Sterling silver heart pendant with birthstones ($39.95, Amazon.com).  This sterling silver charm comes with 12 birthstones.  You can display up to 5 inside, representing your the birth month of your mother, father, siblings, and other loved ones.  It’s a heartfelt personalized gift (no pun intended), and I think many mothers would appreciate this as a gesture if not as a pretty piece of jewelry.

5.)  ELAYDA Continuous Results skin care system ($129.99, Amazon.com).  Normally I am against giving skin care as a gift, because it is difficult to determine the right products for someone’s skin type or ailments.  Yet the ELAYDA system is great because it contains retinol, a universal anti-ager, and does so in a step-wise system that gradually increases as the recipient uses the products.  Many of my readers have had great results from the system, and while I have yet to try it, the ingredients suggest to me these comments are fully justified!

6.)  SPA Finder Gift Card ($50.00, Amazon.com).  Gift cards can at times seem a bit flippant or inconsiderate: “I didn’t take the time to pick out a gift for you, so I got you this,” especially if the gift card is for a store or service the recipient doesn’t particularly like.  But a spa gift card can only say, “You deserve to be pampered.”  It’s definitely a quick gift that practically gets an automatic seal of approval!

7.)  My Mom, Style Icon ($12.89, Amazon.com).  Considering the fact that you’re reading a beauty blog right now, and they say “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” your Mom will enjoy this hardcover book featuring over 200 color photographs of stylish mothers through decades of American culture.  It’s definitely a fun read.  P.S. – Don’t forget to inscribe it!  Love, Nicki  🙂
