The only thing worse than showing up to a party empty-handed? Arriving with a gift that screams, “I bought this at the gas station on the way over.” But if you forgot to pick up a a gift for your tween nieces and nephews before their birthdays or something for mom this Mother's Day (which, BTW, is May 11), don’t fret. I’ve been there and done that, so I know a thing or ten about shopping at the eleventh hour. Better yet, I know at least 35 last-minute gift ideas that will arrive in time for all the festivities.
Scroll on for the most impressive last-minute gifts that won't seem like an afterthought, from a MasterClass membership (from $10; $5), Star Registration gift card ($50) and crowd-pleasing Brooklinen gift card (from $50). My personal go-to? A pair of Nordstrom Moonlight Pajamas (was $79) and an ESW Beauty Raw Juice Cleanse Mask Set ($25). Whatever you choose, they're going to be wowed. Promise.
