Mother’s Day 2025 is coming up fast—it falls on Sunday, May 11 this year. If you haven’t picked out a gift yet, don’t panic. There’s still time to find something thoughtful, useful, or just plain fun that your mom will actually enjoy. Whether you’re shopping for a tech-savvy mom, a new mom, or one who insists she doesn’t want anything, here are some last-minute gift ideas that can still make it to her door in time.
The Pixel 9a is Google’s latest mid-range smartphone, offering powerful AI features (hello, Gemini), a 6.3-inch OLED display, and a 48MP main camera that captures beautiful photos in any lighting.

With Google’s clean Android interface and regular updates, it’s a device that stays smooth and secure for years.
Starting from $679 on Google’s website.
