If you’re a last-minute pro or simply a dedicated procrastinator, there lies hope in your future. We’ve discovered a few prime last minute gifts that still say “I Love You, Mom!” without extravagant planning.

Make a Photo Collage

Sure, it sounds a little too easy, but you’d be surprised at how simple this last minute Mother’s Day gift is. Creating a memory-filled collage on any photo app is a snap. Simpy download any photo framing or collage app and choose your desired photos. Once you’re finished, send it to a local photo processing center via email or through their online service. Some even have options to slap your quick masterpiece on a mug, mouse pad, blanket, etc. If you have the time, opt for making a printed photo book as a nice coffee table staple any mom would enjoy.

DIY Groupon Book

 Most are familiar with the last minute idea of
“coupon books”, but this spiced-up alternative can prove to be pretty substantial. Groupon and other similar apps provide a large variety of both marked-down goods and discounted events.  Hand-selecting offers that your Mom would enjoy not only saves money, but gives the gift of spending time together and creating memories. #aww

Create A Gift Basket

 It’s time to put those Target shopping skills to the test. This gift idea is basically creating a gift basket from scratch. Starting with a gift bag or perhaps a nice tote bag, simply fill it with an assortment of your Mom’s favorite stuff. It can be small items like her favorite candy or hair product or larger ticket items like the latest season of her top show on Blu ray.

Subscription Boxes

They’ve been clogging your Facebook and Instagram feeds, but it’s the exciting gift that keeps on giving: box subscriptions. You name it, there’s most likely a monthly service for it. Not only will your mom enjoy the excitement of receiving a nice gift box every few weeks, but she’ll also be able to experience customized treats and services throughout the year. From food and wine to books and pet treats, these monthly surprises can be as low as $10 a month.

Upgrade Her Technology

1. TV USB PORT

Stop fighting over the coveted wall socket and start charging like a smarty when you utilize the USB port in your hotel’s TV. You’re bound to find at least one, not to mention the hotels that conveniently place ports on the bedside stands.

2. WIFI UNLOCKED

The hunt for Wi-Fi is real when you’re abroad. Utilizing websites such as Foursquare and Yelp can often yield user-submitted Wi-Fi passwords to the spots around you. If you can’t find the passwords online, most businesses will provide it to you upon politely asking (some restaurants have them printed on the menus as well).

3. STASH YOUR STUFF

It’s always better to be safe than sorry when traveling, which is why several people use a disguise for their personal items. A hallowed out deodorant or sunscreen stick can store keys, a phone and pocket change without looking like a wallet. This way, you can deter sticky hands and spend more time relaxing!

4. CYBER NINJA

Before you start pouring through the internet looking for the best deals on flights, make sure your browser is set to private mode. This turns off site tracking, something that almost every travel site uses to up the price each time you return to their site.

5. CAR PARK SELFIE

Are you the type to immediately forget where you parked? A super easy way to remember is taking a car selfie. Whether you drop a pin, take a pic with the street signs or set a reminder, those few extra seconds can save you the exhaustion of searching for your car.

9. GET YOUR OWN VPN

If you’re able to, setting up your own virtual private network (VPN) can be a complete lifesaver for those who need unrestricted access to the web. Not only does it get around region-restricted websites, it’s also much more secure and easily accessible.

7. IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

This hack can also be used on the road. If you find yourself sitting behind a chair without a screen, simply place your phone in a plastic bag and snap it to your airplane tray/chair backrest.

8. DJ ANYWHERE EVERYWHERE

No available outlet? No problem. Placing your phone or tablet into a cup or bowl acts as an amplifier for bumping your tunes. This is especially handy in sandy situations where even the smallest grains can seriously damage a portable speaker.

9. LIFE UNTANGLED

There’s a few different ways to transport multiple cables, and one is using a binder clip. This simple trick keeps your cords separated while protecting them from being damaged.

10. CHECK IT ONCE, CHECK IT TWICE

An easy yet forgetful trick, check your stuff! The pain of traveling hundreds of miles only to realize you forgot your charger/ear phones/computer can be frustrating and costly if you chose to replace anything. If you’re going abroad, remember to pick up an outlet adapter for foreign outlets.
