Last-Minute Mother's Day Deliveries To Keep You On Mom's Good Side!

So it's Friday already and you're kinda sorta giftless for Mother's Day -- which is in fact this Sunday, no matter how much you wish you could buy yourself another week to shop. If you're close enough to your mama to see her on the big day, you know there's no way she'll let you into the house empty-handed, unless the mailman has already delivered the gift on your behalf, and a long-distance mom probably won't be any more forgiving if the day passes her by with not so much as a flower in sight. It's okay, you're human, and it's perfectly understandable for such an occasion to slip your mind, in my opinion... but I'm not the one you'll have to beg to for forgiveness! But don't fret yet, my fashionably forgetful friend -- the 'net has loads of thoughtful deliverable gifts that can fix your memory slip just in time (as in, before your mom replaces you as her favorite) as long as you act fast! With an array of edible treats like a set of hand-dipped strawberries that's almost too cute to eat (almost) or an at-home spa kit gift basket that will make sure Mom feels like royalty on her special day, no one will suspect that such a timely, gorgeous gift was really a last-minute desperate effort to stay out of the doghouse! Take a look at the slideshow for some Mother's Day deliveries that will make Mom feel special and save your behind in the process!

Perfect Presents For New And Soon-To-Be Moms!

With a bun in the oven, an expecting mom, exhausted with eating, breathing and living for two also has to dress for two! Someone expecting, whether they've been a mother before or not, should definitely be on your list this Mother's Day! Clothing options for a beloved pregnant pal may be a touchy subject, given the fact that she may no longer fit into her favorite pair of jeans -- and she's probably dreading having to dress in time-old maternity clothes that more resemble the looks of hospital-gown smocks and potato sacks. Give the gift of style with some of the latest trends in maternity clothes, many of which fit right in with standard women's wear styles already! If you think maternity clothes shopping is slim-pickings, think again: there are options galore -- even designer!

Mother's Day Gifts For The Mom With A Green Thumb!

Ever since I can remember, my mom has always had a green thumb (a trait that has unfortunately not been passed down considering I can't even keep a cactus alive). Whenever the weather is nice out, you can find her in the garden, picking weeds out of the flower beds, pruning the rose bushes and tending to the herb garden. This year for Mother's Day I'm going to get her something she can use in her beautiful little sanctuary, the garden. A new set of tools is perfect for any outdoor gardener; it's especially useful when it can be attached to a folding chair! Burt's Bees makes a great outdoor essential gift set that will let mom know you care about her out there in the wild. It comes with bug repellent, bite relief cream, a hand wash and a sun hat. Is Mom more of an inside gardener? Get her 12 months worth of seeds to grow herbs inside on the windowsill or a mini heirloom tomato growing kit. Need more ideas for Mother's Day?

Hot In The Hive: Paulette Macarons

I recently discovered the joy of macarons a little over a year ago, but these delicate European deserts date back all the way to the 18th century. The origin is arguably either French or Italian, but the most famous location for macarons is definitely Paris, France at the world renowned LaDuree on the Champs-Elysees. Creamy ganaches, chewy caramels and sweet fruit compotes are sandwiched between two delicious almond-tinted meringue-like cookies. Macarons are crisp and light as well as chewy and delicious at the same time, leaving mouths craving more. They come in familiar favorites like chocolate, strawberry, and caramel, as well as more innovative flavors such as rose anise, pistachio and black currant. As famous as LaDuree is, ordering them to your doorstep in the United States may leave them a little stale by the time they arrive. Since discovering these pretty, pastel gems that are almost too pretty to eat (almost), I have been on an avid mission to find an equally superior macaron in America that is either in my area, or will deliver quickly. There seem to be quite a few places in California that can boast on selling a more than decent macaron. Paulette Macarons in southern California and the Bay Area is a favorite and their passion for making macarons is apparent since it is the ONLY thing they sell! You can sample flavors like Columbian coffee and Violet Cassis and they can even be delivered over-night directly to your doorstep and into your mouth! Macarons are quickly becoming the next big thing in desserts and if you haven't had one yet, you're definitely missing out!


Price: $1.60 each, $19 for a gift box of 12, and $36 for a gift box of 24
Who Found It: idabone was first to add Paulette Macarons to the Hive.
