Last minute Mother’s Day gifts that still feel thoughtful
Left it a little later than planned? You are not alone.
In our 23 years of sending living gifts across the UK, we regularly see up to 30% of Mother’s Day orders placed within the final 48 hours before Mothering Sunday. It happens more often than people realise.
The good news is that choosing at the last minute does not mean choosing poorly. With next day delivery available until the Friday at 11am before Mothering Sunday, there is still time to send something meaningful.
All of our Mother’s Day gifts are gift wrapped by hand and delivered with care guidance included.
Last minute tree gifts
A tree feels intentional, even when time is short. It is lasting. Considered. And far more personal than something picked up in a rush.
Star Magnolia Tree Gift
The Star Magnolia blooms in early spring, often just in time for Mother’s Day. Elegant white flowers appear on bare branches, bringing softness and light to the garden.
It is easy to care for and arrives beautifully gift wrapped, ready to place on a patio or plant in the garden.
Last minute rose bushes
Roses are a classic choice, and a potted rose bush offers far more longevity than cut flowers.
Special Mum Rose Bush Gift
A living alternative to a bouquet. Planted once, it blooms every summer and becomes part of her garden for years to come.
You can also explore the Mum in a Million Rose Bush Gift for a fragrant and abundant display.
Last minute indoor plants
If your mum prefers indoor greenery or does not have outdoor space, an indoor plant is a safe and stylish choice.
Parlour Palm
Elegant and easy to care for. The Parlour Palm adds soft greenery to living rooms, bedrooms and home offices.
Pineapple Plant Gift
A distinctive and decorative plant with evergreen foliage and a striking ornamental fruit. A confident choice when you want something a little different.
