Mother's Day 2015: 10 best last-minute gifts

Don't panic, there is still time to get mum a decent gift for Mothering Sunday

From gorgeous flowers with free next-day delivery to all sorts of e-vouchers you can send direct to her inbox, we round up pressies your can still purchase for Mother's Day on 15 March.

1. The Book of Mum: £7.50, thebookofeveryone.com

It may be too late to get this clever little gift printed into an actual book for her, but, hey, it’s the digital age, so give her an iPad version instead. You enter her name and birth year, design the cover and customise messages and quotes, and it generates a “book” full of fun facts (apparently my Mum was the 3,191,661,130th person on earth at the time she was born, a litre of petrol cost 5p and Russ Conway’s Side Saddle was number one) based on the information you give. Neat.

My mum was amazed when I showed her that Spotify meant she could stream pretty much any song she could think of on her computer, mobile and tablet, as well as make playlists to play when offline. Spotify Premium does away with the annoying adds, too. Treat her so she stops trying to steal your password – choose from one, three, six or 12-month subscription, sent via an e-card so she can start listening straight away on Sunday.
