This year, Mother’s Day lands on Sunday, May 11 — and if it snuck up on you, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. It’s the perfect time to celebrate the mother figure in your life with something thoughtful, stylish, and yes, easy to order in time. To help us choose the top finds this year, we turned to style expert (and mom!) Melissa Garcia. Not only does she know what’s trending right now, but she knows exactly what feels special to receive. First up? Target’s latest collaboration: Parachute for Target.
The beloved home brand is known for its soft, luxurious fabrics and just launched an affordable line you can grab at your local Target. Garcia’s picks from the collection are cozy, neutral and completely gift-worthy. Sticking with the theme of relaxation, she’s also loving a soothing eye pillow that’s filled with Himalayan salt for the ultimate at-home spa moment.
For something more personal, Garcia recommends a sweet piece of beaded jewelry with a special message, or a sentimental keepsake book that lets moms pass on their wisdom to the next generation. Have a mom who loves to cook? Staub’s set of three mini cocottes are equal parts elegant and useful — and right now, nearly 50% off! And because no celebration is complete without a sweet treat, Garcia has her eye on a sample box of chocolates that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
To ensure your order arrives before Sunday, you can easily check the arrival date in your cart. The retailer also offers same-day pick-up and delivery on select products, depending on stock at your local Target store. P.S. If flowers are on your to-buy list, you can officially score those at Target, too! The retailer just launched its first-ever floral brand, Good Little Garden, with more than 60 fresh options including a dozen roses for $15 and 10-stem tulips for just $7.
