Are you seeing mom in person this Mother's Day? While rules for gathering have been relaxed — those fully vaccinated can gather in small groups outdoors without masks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — only a little over a quarter of the population is fully vaccinated. As a result, some are still wisely opting to refrain from gathering with those outside their immediate household.
If you're still social distancing with a Zoom-call celebration again this year, the following Mother's Day delivery gifts are the perfect way to let the mom(s) in your life know you appreciate her when you can't be there in person.
Food delivery gifts for Mother's Day
There are only so many tchotchkes mom can put on her shelves, so eliminate extra clutter by sending food. These consumable ideas for delivery gifts and snacks are a better choice.
1. Check out a food delivery website for inspiration
It can be a challenge to try to remember Mom's favorites, and figuring out exactly what to have delivered for Mother's Day is tricky. If you're stumped for ideas, let Goldbelly help celebrate your mom on this special day. The website is a portal to hundreds of subscription services, delivery services, and food companies all over the country so you're bound to find the perfect gift to send.
2. A meal kit subscription service saves mom precious time in the kitchen
These days there is a meal delivery service for just about everyone. Whether mom enjoys a keto, paleo or vegan lifestyle, or if she enjoys cooking, or prefers a quick heat-and-eat option — there's a meal service that fits.
Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, and Home Chef are some of the most popular meal subscription kits. Each comes with everything you need to prepare a full meal. Sun Basket provides organic options the whole family will enjoy. Freshly meals are ready to eat and come in a variety of single-serve options.
"Meal kits are a lifesaver for our family and we often gift them to friends and family because everyone needs to eat and they can let you get dinner on the table in minutes," mom of four Elaine R. told Mom.com. "I wish I could buy them for us more often but that can add up, which is why they are great gifts to receive."
Late sending gifts? Same day delivery saves the day
It's been a difficult year and sometimes time just gets away from us. If you've run short on time, same-day delivery can save the day.
3. Keep it traditional with flowers
If you've run out of Mother's Day gift ideas or need to send something quick, 1800Flowers.com guarantees same-day delivery of select items on their website.
4. A gift for the mom with a green thumb
If mom loves plants, a gift delivery from From You Flowers lets you send her a dish garden with same-day service. Add a stuffed animal, chocolates, or a balloon arrangement to your order for extra personalization.
5. Consider a last-minute Mother's Day fruit basket delivery
Edible Arrangements is known for its fun and unique fruit baskets and available for same-day delivery. There are locations nationwide, so if you'd rather see the gift baskets before you send one, find an Edible Arrangements location near you and place your delivery order in person.
Spirits and wine delivery gifts to send for Mother's Day
A festive Mother's Day cocktail may be just what mom needs. Here are some great wine and spirit gifts to help her get in a celebratory mood.
(It's illegal to ship alcohol to Utah, Mississippi, Delaware, Alabama, Oklahoma, or Rhode Island. If mom lives in one of those states, you'll have to choose another gift option.)
6. Send the gift of a picnic brunch
Wolferman's offers a Mother's Day Brunch Gift Box that includes two packages of their delicious English muffins, a cheese and caramelized onion quiche, ground coffee, blueberry vanilla cake, jam, and a bottle of sparkling wine. How can you go wrong with sparkling wine or a Champagne delivery gift?
7. DIY cocktails made easy
InBooze alcohol infusion kits (pictured above) contain dehydrated fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs that you infuse into your own alcohol; each packet infuses enough for 8-10 cocktails. Packets are available in a variety of flavors like spicy margarita, Caribbean rum punch, and very berry white sangria to name a few.
"They're an easier and healthier way for everyone to enjoy drinks at home. By infusing with simple fruits, spices, and herbs, you know exactly what is in your cocktail," InBooze founder Ashleigh Evans — a mom of four — told Mom.com.
8. You can't go wrong with Rosé
The Mother's Day Rose Gift Crate from GourmetGiftBaskets.com comes with a bottle of Rosé, crackers, cheese, and a few sweet treats. The gift crate is a luxurious and delicious gift to send when you can't be there in person.
