Getting flowers or jewelry for Mother’s Day at this point may be impossible, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t give Mom a gift worthy of her awesomeness. Whether you’re lazy (ah-hem) or simply lost track of time, we’ve rounded up some last-minute Mother’s Day gifts that are so great she’ll think you’ve been planning her gift for months instead of days.

Subscription box membership
Go beyond a single present, and shower Mom with gifts all year long by signing her up for a mom-themed subscription box. (Pampered Mommy, $30/month). And if you don’t think this one fits her style, we’ve got a ton of other subscription box ideas that will.

Chocolate
Nothing says “you’re the best, Mom!” like fancy chocolates, especially if you don’t ask her to share. (Godiva, $50)
Sparkle journal
Whether she uses it to make lists, jot down her dreams or finally start her novel, a blank journal makes a fantastic present. (Papyrus, $12)
