If its felt like 2019 has sped by, you're not alone. It seems like just yesterday that we were just complaining about how long the month of January was and now, here we are rapidly approaching Mother's Day and I have no idea how we got here so soon. For the mothers out there, coming close to May 12 has probably filled you with excitement and anticipation. For the kids that usually wait until days before to cop mom a gift, however, you're probably filled with the total opposite — which is totally understandable.
With a little over a week left until the big day, finding mom a stand out gift within budge may seem a bit difficult to do. And while I would normally agree that procrastination leaves me with only a small amount of wiggle room when it comes to finding my mom an awesome gift, this year, I found some really unique (and affordable!) options to present to her and I'm sure someone else can benefit from this, too.
So, if you're still on the hunt for a fun and unique gift to give mom this year, here are four of my top picks to help you along your way. Rather watch my suggestions instead of reading it below? View the replay of my on-air presentation of them at WESH 2 News Orlando here.
1. SH-RD Protein Cream ($28 for 2.71oz; $50 for 5.1oz)
Have you heard mom talking about wanting to find new ways to make her hair healthier? Then gifting her with this incredible leave-in treatment is a great place to start. Enriched with herbal rosemary, D-Panthenol (anti-stress vitamin) and silk amino acids, this product will with provide hair with an an instant repair. It prevents and mends split ends, defrizzes and replenishes moisture, shine and softness.
As an added plus, if you use before you blow dry or flat iron, it also acts as a heat protectant and can be used as a UV and chlorine damage protectant, too.

4. HelloFresh Mother's Day Box (starts at $72 for brunch box; $64 for dinner box)
The amazingly delicious box service HelloFresh has introduced their first-ever Mother's Day box this year and you'll definitely want to check it out. Available in two versions — brunch and dinner — this is a great way to treat mom to a fulfilling meal without having to leave the comfort of your home. And, the greatest part of it all is that everything you need to create either meal (minus the alcoholic beverage) is included in your shipment.
The only caveat to this box, however, is that if you want to receive it for Mother's Day (Sunday, May 12), you have to place your order by Sunday May 5. If not, you can order the box for the entire month of May and spoil mom whenever you want.
*Food products pictured are the side dishes from the brunch box. There is also a main dish included with purchase.
