Where to Shop for Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gifts
Let’s face it: There are two types of gift-givers, especially for those looking for Mother’s Day gifts and other important holidays.
The first type gets their shopping done weeks before. Then, there’s those of us who start to scramble a few days ahead of time when we realize we’ve been procrastinating and waited too long. Thankfully, there are shops for both types of people. If you’re looking for a gift in a hurry, these shops have a great selection that can get you out of a bind.
Blue Nile
This is a great option that works for those ahead-of-time shoppers as well as last minute, since they have a huge selection of beautiful jewelry and expedited shipping. You can also find Blue Nile brick-and-mortar locations in 17 states, including California, Florida, Illinois, and Texas. We love their classic-meets-modern jewelry design, and they offer some of the best prices for fine jewelry that you won’t find anywhere else.
Nordstrom
Another great option for stylish finds in a hurry, you can always shop in person at one of their locations. However, we love that you can also get free standard shipping. Or, if you need it faster they offer 2-day shipping for $12, and overnight for $20.
Amazon
Yes, you can get dishwasher pods delivered same-day. But you can also get everything from funny tea towels to a heated neck pad or a dried fruit basket delivered in a few hours. Procrastinators unite!
