Let's be real: Mother's Day always tends to sneak up on us.

But thanks to DoorDash, you can still be the favorite child even if you're too busy to think of a gift before the day arrives. You can send fresh, beautiful flowers from local florists, personalized with a digital notecard. Or if your mom isn't the flower type, go for one of CNET's favorite tech gifts, top beauty brands, or the perfect gift card to let her splurge on herself.

Whether you're running behind or live across the country from Mom, DoorDash makes things fast and easy with scheduled delivery and real-time order tracking for thoughtful gifts at every price point. There's no need to worry about wilted blooms: DoorDash flowers are hand-delivered with beautiful presentation and a freshness guarantee. And when you order a bouquet today, you'll unlock an extra $50 credit ($75 for DashPass members) to spend on more gifts for mom.

Here are 14 gift ideas you can have delivered fast via DoorDash, even if you're ordering on Mother's Day.
