Last-Minute Mother’s Day Gifts Unwrapped

While Mother's Day is officially celebrated tomorrow across the U.S., many in the Hispanic community are honoring moms today. With time ticking, shoppers are rushing to find the perfect last-minute gift. So we sent Thalia Hayden on a mission to discover what moms really want this year. Some popular picks? Spa days, handbags, and mystery novels. One shopper shared he grabs beach reads and plans a nice dinner for his wife. At The Shops at Palm Desert, Nyanne Chandler says stores are ready for the Mother's Day rush. Fragrances are a top seller, and many retailers are including complimentary flowers with each perfume purchase. One standout gift this year is a special keepsake journal where moms can write their stories to pass on to future generations. For book-loving moms, Barnes & Noble has been a go-to. Still unsure? A gift card never fails. In the end, it’s the thought—and love—that truly counts.
