10 Last-Minute Ideas If You Forgot Mother’s Day Is This Sunday

It’s the grown-up version of the macaroni necklace.

Cake lasts five minutes, but memories last a lifetime.

Hey, slacker children of America: Guess what? Sunday is Mother’s Day, and you probably don’t have a gift yet. You’ve got Thursday night “happy hour,’’ date night Friday, and it’s supposed to be nice on Saturday, so it’d be a shame to squander that inside a mall…plus, what would you even get the most important woman in your life, another scarf?

Unfortunately, you’re no longer cute enough to string together a macaroni necklace, or use your 64-pack of markers to make coupons like “Good for a week without complaining.’’

While there’s pretty much no gift as precious as the literal, actual life that she gave to you, there are still plenty of ways to show her you care. And, of course, that you totally remembered to buy something for her ages ago.
