LightFieldStudios/iStockphoto OK, it's crunch time: Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 12, which means your online-gift-ordering window is closing rapidly. Indeed, if Mom lives far away and you're hoping to have something delivered, it's time to act. Fortunately, at least a few stores are positioned to help last-minute shoppers. Walmart, for example, offers free two-day shipping on orders of $35 or more, and there's always the in-store pickup option as well. Amazon Prime subscribers can get two-day shipping on most items -- possibly even one-day shipping, which would theoretically give you until Friday to pick a gift. Indeed, you might want to head straight to Amazon's Mother's Day gift shop if you prefer to shop by category. Need a little more help? Below I've rounded up some great gift ideas that, as of today, you still have time to get. They're not necessarily the most affordable options -- for that, see this collection -- but they're all guaranteed to arrive by Sunday.

The Tile Mate is a small, square, battery-powered tile designed to live on a keychain, or maybe attached to a purse. The Slim is slightly larger, but also thinner, and therefore better suited to slipping into a wallet. When the phone goes missing, you double-press the button on the Tile. That makes the phone ring loudly, even if it's set to mute. Keys missing? Use the locator feature in the Tile app to make the Tile itself beep. One important note: This should be available for in-store pickup, but it's too late to get free shipping in time for Mother's Day. Jack & Rose You gave Mom the essential-oil diffuser last year, right? This year, let her enjoy those oils on the go. This stylish bracelet comes with eight colorful pads that can be swapped out depending on which oil she wants. (The oils aren't actually included; she'll use her current supply to put a few drops on each pad.) The straps themselves are available in four different colors. Walmart If anyone needs a foot massage, it's Mom. This model kneads and rolls feet and ankles, offering four different programs and three massage modes. It even includes a remote. Levoit I can't say I get the whole salt-lamp craze, especially this pseudo-science about "negative ions" and improving your sleep. That said, they look cool and emit a soft, pretty glow. This one consists of a 5- to 8-pound hunk of salt atop a 15-watt bulb (with two spares included in the box). There's a touch-powered dimmer switch embedded in the power cord. Some 900 buyers collectively rated this 4.6 stars out of 5, so I think it's a pretty safe bet Mom will like it. Sarah Tew/CNET For the mom who loves to read, a distraction-free Kindle is hard to beat. This 2018 version is darn near perfect, and at $40 off it's tied with its lowest price ever. Still a bit outside your budget? The new entry-level Kindle, which features an integrated light, is also being discounted: It's $70 (save $20). Read full review. Screenshot by Sean Hollister/CNET At $199, the Apple Watch Series 3 still isn't what I'd call cheap -- but it's $80 off the regular price and without question the best iPhone-compatible smartwatch. The white sport-band goes with everything, but you can make this gift even more fun with some colorful replacements, like this three-pack for $14. While you're at it, look at all the other inexpensive Apple Watch accessories you can get. Read full review. Facebook Don't just call Mom to say hi -- video-call her! It's the 21st century, after all. That option has rarely been cheaper now that the Facebook Portal is on sale for $99. It's not only a dedicated video-call machine, but also a voice-powered smart assistant, able to play music, show videos, even run a slideshow of family photos. Even if you don't have a Portal of your own, you can call Mom (and vice versa) via Facebook Messenger. Read full review. CNET's Mother's Day gift guide Originally published on May 7, 2019.

A fan of their see-through Birdcage design, the brand which has a royal warrant is the umbrella of choice for many royals but it’s only the Queen who gets hers made bespoke, trimmed with the exact same color as her outfit. Buy It! Fulton umbrella, $26; fultonumbrellas.com<doc-sep>As I studied what could have easily been a time capsule made by my grandmother, I wondered: What about women like me? What about moms who want to be a #boss, not a blessing? What about mothers with career goals, not house goals? What about women who organize a legal department, not a junk drawer? What about those of us inspired by women trying to be president, not marry one? What about women looking for gender equality, for change, not for a silver lining peeking out from the patriarchy cloud looming overhead? What about women who order takeout? ! The moms in my world have no time for five books about clutter. We run—literally run—through the streets of Manhattan, from our home to day care to our office to urgent care to the grocery store to the playground to the laundry room to the baby’s room to our home office, until we eventually, briefly, fall into bed. We work around the clock with an infant, rotating between job duties and mom duties, starting our fourth shift of the day as the rest of the world winds down. We earn promotions while raising a toddler as though we never missed a beat. We strive to change the world by doing good P.R. for mothers: showing men they can hire us, rely on us, give us the big case. We’ve still got it! we say, with hungry eyes and an uncompromising work ethic, even as we physically deteriorate and wonder if “still having it” might kill us. And yet we’re amazing mothers to those kids. We give them our mornings, our evenings, our middle of the nights. We fit a 40-hour day into 24 because we have prodigious efficiency skills, and because we haven’t slept since that first bout of pregnancy heartburn two years ago. To be clear, I’m not complaining about all that. I chose this life, and I love this life, and I’m not all "Woe is me, woe are women." Not today, anyway. Today I am simply saying, to those who need to hear it, that the moms I know are like superheroes, flying between the skyscrapers in pantsuits instead of capes. We are not modern-day handmaidens feigning gratitude for a gift that encourages us to up our baked-goods game. If the mother you’re shopping for is anything like me, stay far, far away from that table. And even if she’s nothing like me, all pantsuits and chest pains, and more like my mom, all home-cooked meals and fresh brownies, my point is the same. There’s more to us—all of us—than the menial tasks we perform to keep our homes and families running. And now, more than ever, is a time to look for change, not a silver lining. So on Mother’s Day, don’t give her a gift that says, “Please clean the house and then bake me a chicken.” Give her one that says, “I see you, I appreciate you, you deserve a break.” Instead of a book that claims cleaning will spark joy, give her the joy of a bottle of good wine. Bonus points if you buy it by the case, as my husband does. He’s currently building me a “wine cellar” in a closet, and really, is there any better mom gift than that? Or send her to the spa. Even better than the massage is the time she’ll spend reading in the waiting room with fruit-infused water, a vomit-free robe, and a shower at the end with no one screaming outside the door. On a budget? Give her my favorite cucumber melon bath bombs and a $2.49 avocado face mask. The water turns so blue it feels like a fancy spa pool, and the color hides the grime clinging to the edge of the tub. Double bonus—if her kids walk in, they won’t even recognize her through the moisturizing sheet mask. And if she really loves books, as I do, give her one that will make her forget—not remember—that her sheets are growing mildew in the wash machine and will never, ever be folded well. Perhaps buy her a book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg that details how she excelled at Harvard Law School while raising a baby, caring for a sick husband, and attending his classes and hers simultaneously—and how her husband championed her career ahead of his own. That’s marriage at work, not misogyny. That’s precisely what I’d like to see on a Gifts for Me table. Finally—and this is the most important part!—whatever the gift may be, give her time to enjoy it. Because other than a good life for our kids, equality for our gender, and less misogyny at the bookstore, what we really want is time.

I just ordered my mom this stainless steel cuff bracelet with a sweet hidden message that reads: "Mothers and daughters never truly part, maybe in distance, but never in heart." This caught my attention because growing up I was always very close to my mom. She's loving, supportive and completely selfless. Now, I only get to see her a few times a year because she lives back in my home state of Michigan and I'm living and working in New York. Although this gift is inexpensive, I know my mom is going to LOVE it. Not only is it simple enough to wear daily, but I know that she'll really appreciate the sweet little reminder of how much I love her. And as long as you order it by the end of the day and use Amazon Prime, it should arrive to its destination by Saturday. I shipped it straight to her house and it even comes in a small gift box. As I was looking through the reviews, many people seemed to be pretty impressed with the quality of the bracelet. "Love it! I got my daughter and myself one. Never has rusted or turned green," one reviewer shared. Personally, I'm so excited for my mom to get it in the mail this weekend. And if you won't get to spend Mother's Day with your mom either, I think this is a really great way to send her some love.
