ICYMI, Mother’s Day is just 12 days away, which means it’s now or never to get a gift that shows the mothers in your life how special they are. The bad news? If you just started shopping, you missed the window for most retailers’ shipping cutoff dates to have your presents arrive in time. The good news? DoorDash is the best hack for getting the best Mother’s Day gifts to your doorstep in time to wrap them up without leaving your couch. Whether you’re shopping for beauty gifts or gifts for your wife or for your mom, there’s a vast selection to consider.
Although DoorDash is known for making life easier with its food delivery services, did you know the platform also offers deliveries from top retailers like Ulta, American Eagle, CVS, Dollar General, and many others, including grocery stores? Ordering your gifts from DoorDash saves time and eliminates the need to go store to store when you already have limited time to search for the perfect gift. Instead, to secure the best gifts for Mom this year, head to the app and browse available retailers in your area. From there, you can search for gifts from an array of categories like beauty, clothing, and florals, because is it really Mother’s Day without having a bouquet in hand? You can also choose a gift card for the mom who already has everything.
Once you find the perfect present, submit your order, and you will be assigned a Dasher who will retrieve and deliver your items. You’re fully involved in the process with pickup times, arrivals, and other necessary communication via the app.
If you’re new to DoorDash or don’t have a membership, it’s simple to sign up! DashPass is a subscription service you can opt into for $9.99 a month ($96 annually), offering no delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders. There is also a Student DashPass for $4.99 per month or $48 per year.
Ahead, browse a few gift ideas you can have delivered in the blink of an eye thanks to DoorDash.
DoorDash Gift Card
For the mom who has everything, choose a DoorDash gift card. The gift card lets her get her favorite foods or the essentials she wants to treat herself to. You can select an e-gift card or physical card option when checking out for a simple and useful Mother’s Day gift.
Walgreens
Walgreens is another retailer that DoorDash offers for Mother’s Day gifts. You can create a basket for her filled with customized photo gifts, candles, chocolates, and cards. Snag the Modern Expressions Soy Blend Charcoal & Fresh Bamboo Candle, which creates a cozy atmosphere where she can relax. The candle is crafted from soy wax and is scented with smoky charcoal and fresh bamboo.
Dollar General
While you’re shopping for your monthly cleaning haul, make sure to browse Dollar General’s Mother’s Day gifts. The retailer offers convenient, affordable picks perfect for creating something special for your mother. Need some ideas? Craft a bouquet for mom with artificial flowers, available for $1 per stem!
Ulta
The Dermalogica Skin Aging Solutions Skincare Kit at Ulta works to reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and environmental damage. The kit includes Dermalogica’s Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 Moisturizer, a Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum, a Super Rich Repair Moisturizer, and a Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, all formulated with active ingredients such as retinol, antioxidants, peptides, and SPF.
Lush
Consider Lush this Mother’s Day when you really want to spoil her. Right now, shop the brand’s bath bombs, clean skincare, and beauty tools. Speaking of bath bombs, add the Blooming Beautiful Gift Set, featuring three bath bombs in a pretty floral theme that turn her bathroom into a sanctuary.
American Eagle
If you’re shopping for a sister or friend who has just become a mom, treat them to some new wardrobe staples that help them feel put together while staying comfortable. We recommend wrapping up the AE Soft & Sexy Swing T-Shirt, a pair of leggings, and some slouchy socks. The top is flowy and loose, which makes nursing a breeze.
Old Navy
If you’re staying on the theme of treating mom to some new items for her closet, don’t skip over Old Navy. The retailer is notorious for its sales, with savings of up to 50% off right now. I can’t get enough of Old Navy’s athleisure wear as a mom four months postpartum and own the SoComfy Full-Zip Hoodie Sweatshirt in multiple colors. The hoodie rivals those from popular brands, but it’s under $40! Mom can toss it on for her daily walk or for a coffee run.
Dick’s Sporting Goods
We love shopping at Dick’s Sporting Goods for the best selection of athletic shoes from New Balance, Nike, Adidas, and more. It’s also a secret hub for scoring Stanley tumblers. Mom will appreciate a new tumbler that keeps her drinks cold during workouts and while on the go. Stanley’s stainless steel design ensures drinks stay cold for up to 9 hours and iced for up to 40 hours, making it perfect for her busy lifestyle.
CVS
If you already secured a customized photo gift for mom from CVS, surprise her with a designer fragrance she can spritz every day. This one from Marc Jacobs Fragrances, which boasts notes of rhubarb, daffodil, almond milk, and cashmeran.
Sprouts
When the days are long, there’s nothing like having your favorite snacks and groceries delivered; that’s why treating any mom to a delivery from Sprouts could easily take the title as her favorite Mother’s Day gift ever. Shop affordable organic produce, an extensive bulk foods section, and other wholesome snacks delivered by DoorDash.
Take the stress out of shopping for a Mother’s Day gift this year, and let DoorDash help. Head to the app now to fill your cart with gifts mom will love and appreciate.
