13 Mother’s Day Presents That Will Make You the Favorite Child

She’s been your number-one fan since day one, she indulges all your terrible jokes, she knows just how to humble you, and she brought you into this world. The least you can do in return is find her a Mother’s Day present that’ll show her she’s as special as she’s made you feel.

Luckily, DoorDash can help—with hundreds of ordering options, the convenience of online shopping, and speedy delivery, you’re always just a tap away from finding Mom something perfect. It also gives you the gift of flexibility, whether you’re sending the item from afar or you want to grab it from your doorstep before meeting her for the day. Here are a few ideas—along with a curated selection of DoorDash offerings—to get you started.

The Tried-and-True Classics

You can never go wrong with a showstopping bouquet of flowers* delivered straight to her. They’re essentially a virtual hug, and fresh, fragrant options like lilies and roses will last for days, during which every time she walks past the blooms, she’ll think of you with gratitude. Or indulge her sweet tooth by showing up with a wrapped box of her favorite chocolates tucked under your arm—she’ll be so delighted that she may even share. And if she’s got a signature perfume (ask Dad to do some reconnaissance), give her a new bottle topped with a bow.

For the always-on-the-go-getter, a quality pair of headphones will come in handy for fielding phone calls, listening to music, and catching up on podcasts. They’re the kind of upgrade she likely wouldn’t get for herself, making the thought all the more special. And if she’s athletic (or just loves a little extra support while she’s on the run), she’ll appreciate a fresh set of sneakers. Not sure what color to choose? Look through her social-media feeds (or, for the more old-school, her closet) and check out what she’s worn in the past to familiarize yourself. If, on the other hand, she’s into style but also hydration (all the coolest moms are), the current must-have accessory is a Stanley water bottle, which will insulate tea, smoothies, coffee, or any other signature sip.

An Excuse for Some Me Time

Bestow a thoughtful reminder for her to stop and slow down with a self-care gift set—whether it includes the ingredients for a relaxing bath, soothing face-care essentials (throw in a set of under-eye patches), or calming candles, everything will assuredly be put to good use. A lovely shade of lipstick in a charming tube will also make her smile—just as you will when you see her wearing it proudly. Or if she’s more the stay-in-and-read-with-a-cup-of-cocoa type, a quality throw blanket will keep her wrapped up and cozy.

A Convenient Pick-Me-Up

If you’re certain she has more hours in the day than the rest of us mere mortals—how else could she be so accomplished and on top of it all?—keep your superwoman fueled up with her caffeinated faves. Enhance her daily buzz with a new espresso machine, or restock her beloved brew—either way you’ll win points. And if she’s extra-particular about her java—or anything else, for that matter—a DoorDash gift card will allow her to order just about whatever she desires without lifting a finger. (Okay, fine—a tap or two of one, via the app.)
