Thus, Mother’s Day has slipped you this year, and now all the gift options that require the expedition seem risky. Well, don’t worry, because if you have a reader for a mom, I have last minute gift ideas for you who will not seem at the last minute. I had to mention the usual suspects, such as the bookstore gift cards and the subscription boxes to book, but I also have more creative options here – including certain trades that you can complete before Mother’s Day.

Of course, books are always a good option, and if you have a bookstore near you, it can be last minute gifts. You don’t know what to get? Discover these 10 books to get Mom for Mother’s Day, a stimulating fiction on maternity and family, and these books you and your mom will appreciate. (You could get two copies and read my friend with your mom!)

Oh, and in case seeing this post was the exact moment you realized that you forgot Mother’s Day, it’s May 11 of this year!

A bookstore gift card

It may be too obvious, but you cannot be mistaken by giving your mom a book a gift card to his favorite bookstore. If you don’t have them nearby, opt for a Bookshop.org gift cardwhich supports independent bookstores. If you want to make it a little more personalized, write in the card you want to make a day: first treat it with coffee and pastry, then browse the shelves.

A book subscription service

Another excellent option for any reader is a book subscription service. Who can resist getting a book of books by post? I recommend the book Riot’s Own Tailor -made book recommendations– Simply because I am partial, but also because our bibliologists provide personalized books recommendations, so you cannot be mistaken. The recipient will fulfill the investigation, so don’t worry about knowing every detail of your mother’s reading taste. You can choose from the books with rigid coverage or pocket book, or you can opt for a digital list of recommendations. You can also register for a year or just take a look. TBR starts at $ 18.

Coffee, tea or snack boxes

If you do not want to follow the road to the book subscription box, you can rather sign your mom for compatible reading boxes, such as coffee, tea or snack selections. For example, there is the Little Woods Herbal tea passportWho offers a selection of craft tea mixtures each month – perfect for sipping while turning the pages! One month is $ 17 or you can get three for $ 45.

Go to a literary experience

Experience gifts are always a good option. Think of all the upcoming literary events that can be interested, whether it is a book signature by one of its favorite authors, a museum exhibition with a literary home, a book festival, comic-con, a book liaison workshop or something else. For some of them, you can buy tickets in advance. For others, you may need to go with an Iou in his card. For example, you could offer him a sale of books to come and pay his books. (You may want to put a limit on this. I do not know your wallet or the intensity of purchase of your mother’s book.)

Not just a book

Of course, you still have time to buy him a book for Mother’s Day. This can be a little risk, because the readers are picky with what they pick up. But if you know his taste, it’s an option. I recommend taking a notch by offering them assorted accessories, such as a bookmark that corresponds to the cover, snacks appropriate to the frame of the book or tea which has vibrations similar to the premise. It really takes him from a good gift to a big one.

Printable

I also really like it Library pocket card bookmarks For $ 4. You can print a stack of them, because a new one is supposed to be filled for each book.

Another printable option is your mom’s favorite art impressions. For example, if your mother loves Toni Morrison, you could get it This poster with a Toni Morrison quote For $ 6. Look for Etsy for its favorite authors and books, then reduce it to digital downloads. Once you have chosen one, see where you can make a high quality impression made nearby. Bonus points to crawle.

Cunning gifts

If you are artistic or clever, remember to make your mom bookmarks! Since they are small, they are generally quite quick to finish, that you made them use the origami, the cross stitch, the seam, the hook or another technique. Origami is a good choice even if you are not very cunning: you can find tons of online tutorials. (Including ours!)
