Free Shipping on Mother’s Day Flowers | 1800Flowers | Promo code FREESHIP. Select bouquets and delivery 5/8-5/11 only
25% off Sitewide | 1800Flowers | Promo code FLOWERSAVE25. Does not stack with free shipping promotion
Free Shipping on Mother’s Day Flowers | 1800Flowers | Promo code FREESHIP. Select bouquets and delivery 5/8-5/11 only
25% off Sitewide | 1800Flowers | Promo code FLOWERSAVE25. Does not stack with free shipping promotion

Update: Today only, you can save 25% sitewide at 1800Flowers with promo code FLOWERSAVE25. Depending on the cost of your order, that code may or may not be worth more than the FREESHIP Mother’s Day code, and you can only use one, so try both at the final stage of checkout to get the best deal.

If you’ve ever bought flowers online, you’ve probably taken a pause and a deep breath when you got to checkout and saw how much they cost to ship. It makes some sense—they’re delicate flowers, after all—and you ordered them anyway because you’re a good person, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

That’s what makes 1800Flowers’ Mother’s Day deal so tempting. If you use promo code FREESHIP on any of their Mother’s Day bouquets, and set delivery between 5/8-5/11, they’ll waive the shipping and service charges. So go ahead, treat your mom, she deserves it.

Chico’s Apparel for Women Gold Box | Amazon

Today only, Amazon is discounting a bunch of women’s Chico’s apparel. Prices start at $18 and go up to $48. And while I can’t say I’m an expert at women’s clothing, I think these look fine? The women wearing these pieces look comfortable.

I dunno, man. I’ve been wearing non-stop black shirts and sweaters for the past 3 months. But, hey, these tops and pants are cheaper today. So, I’m almost certain that’s a positive. 

These prices will only stick around for the day or until sold out.

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of great wines from around the world, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers right now in preparation for Mother’s Day.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with six bottles of wine for just $40 with free shipping, and every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. But if you use this link when you sign up, you’ll get FREE shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month. At the very least, you should send Mom the trial box for less than $7 per bottle. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

Now that your phone and your home are all smart, it’s apparently time to up the intelligence of your facial cleansing brush. The Clarisonic Mia Smart allows users to connect the brush to a smartphone app, which can customize preset routines on the device, in addition to the deep pore cleansing and exfoliating you’ve come to expect from the brand.

Now, do you need your facial cleansing brush to be bluetooth enabled? Nope. But it is a cool extra feature for those are who are looking to really maximize their cleansing routine. And now, all that cool skincare tech is on sale for $139—the lowest price we’ve seen—in either mint or pink. The brush also comes with a charging stand, and it’s waterproof, so feel free to scrub away while you’re in the shower or bathtub. And it’s compatible with any Clarisonic brush head, so you can really go all out.

So use promo code 40OFF, and pick up any product that catches your eye, like perhaps the acclaimed Purity Made Simple Pore Extractor Face Mask or the fresh floral Amazing Grace fragrance spray.

Basically every device Amazon makes was on sale for Black Friday, with one glaring exception: The new, waterproof, Bluetooth-equipped Kindle Paperwhite. So if you were holding out on a deal for all your pool and bathtub reading needs, your patience has been rewarded today with a $30 discount for Mother’s Day.

Better still, this is the best deal we’ve seen, and if you have an Amazon Prime credit card, you’ll get 20% cash back, which effectively lowers the price to $72.

Oh, and if you want the cheaper, all-new Kindle—that’s also cheaper now, too. It’s selling for $70 which is also the lowest price we’ve ever seen.


Fitbit Alta HR (Large, Black) | $75 | Amazon

It is time to start tracking your steps! If you haven’t gotten a Fitbit yet, now is the time to jump on the bandwagon. The popular fitness trackers count steps, monitor your heart rate, track your sleep, and can do so much more, depending on which model you choose. Right now, the Fitbit Alta HR (black, large) is available for an all-time low of $75.

The Alta HR operates with Bluetooth technology and automatically syncs all of your information as you work out/walk/sleep when wearing it. Other colors and sizes of the Alta are also on sale, though not nearly as cheap as the large black wristband.


Seagrass planter baskets are ostensibly designed to hold plants, but large ones like these are also a trendy way to hide things like towels and blankets out in the open, and smaller ones can hold...smaller things. They’re an attractive way to store stuff, basically!

We actually just covered them yesterday on The Inventory:

I keep a very small one by my cat’s bed to store her treats, brush, and nail clippers—stuff that was always floating around and driving me crazy. Plus, they collapse when not in use for easy storing, and can be great for displaying plants inexpensively while keeping them in the plastic pots they often come home from the store in.

This pack of three large baskets has always sold for $30 on Amazon, but it just dropped to $25, so click that Buy Button and get your Instagram ready to show off your apartment.


Ring Alarm Kits (Various Sizes) + Echo Dot | $169-$304 | Amazon
Ring Alarm Kits (Various Sizes) + Echo Dot | $169-$304 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

Ring is best known for its security cameras and doorbells, but its indoor home security system is one of our favorite options without a monthly fee (but if you do want 24/7 monitoring, it’s only $10 per month). The five-piece entry level starter kit includes a keypad, base station alarm, a contact sensor, a motion sensor, and a range extender, and today’s $169 deal is within $10 of the best price Amazon’s ever listed.

And oh yeah, they’re throwing in a free Echo Dot too. That means you can arm, disarm, and check the status of your system with only your voice. Larger systems with more sensors are also on sale (just select the one you want from the product page), some of which (like the $249 11-piece set) are cheaper than they’ve ever been before.


Anker makes a lot of gadgets, but noise canceling headphones were a notable gap in the company’s lineup until very recently. So if you want to block out the world with the new Soundcore Space wireless over-ears, you can save $20 right now, no promo code required.

The Wirecutter-recommended Soundcore Spaces run for 20 hours in wireless noise canceling mode, or you can use them wired for up to 50 hours with NC enabled, which are some of the best battery life specs we’ve seen in this market.


Ring’s security systems aren’t the only Ring things on sale for Mother’s Day. The company’s iconic video doorbells are also on sale right now, complete with free Echo Dots.

The Video Doorbell Pro is $50 off at $199 (not accounting for the Dot), and hooks into your existing doorbell wiring.If you don’t have doorbell wiring hooked up, the battery-powered Ring Doorbell 2 is $30 off at $169, again with a free Echo Dot.


Weighted Blankets
15 Pound 48"x 72" Weighted Blanket | $45 | Amazon | Promo code LQXUGKPY
15 Pound 60"x 80" Weighted Blanket | $52 | Amazon | Promo code VXGONLYT
20 Pound 60"x 80" Weighted Blanket | $60 | Amazon | Promo code S96RVOLL
20 Pound 60"x 80" Weighted Blanket (Dark Gray) | $58 | Amazon | Promo code Y2HG8QOB

It’s not cold outside anymore, but anxiety is always in season. In addition to keeping you warm, a weighted blanket can work wonders for your anxiety, and several different models are on sale for Mother’s Day, if you still haven’t picked out a gift.

Options include a beefy 20 pounder for just $58 (with code Y2HG8QOB, the best price we’ve ever seen for a blanket that heavy. Just be sure to note the promo codes above or below. Prices start at $45 for a 15 pounder as well (with code LQXUGKPY), which with the exception of last week’s short-lived $35 deal is the best we’ve seen.

Personally, I want my weighted blankets to be capable of breaking ribs (I own a 25 pounder myself), but the general recommendation is 10% of your body weight. Not to stress you out, but we wouldn’t expect this deal to last for long.


30% Off Sheets | Casper

You shouldn’t skimp out on good sheets, an essential component of a good bed, and right now, some of our favorites from Casper are on sale.

From growlers and howlers to tumblers and camp cups, Miir makes some of our favorite drinkware around, whether you’re hauling it into the backcountry, or sipping from it at home.

Today on Amazon, most of their wares (including the wine bottle and wine tumbler, which are usually excluded from these sales) are about 25% off their regular prices (prices vary a bit by color, in some cases), and our readers can save an extra 10% on anything they sell with promo code 10Kinjadeal. We’ll toast to that. A few favorites are below (along with their deal prices), but you can also just head over to Miir’s Amazon storefront and browse from there.

We’re approaching peak picnic/camping/beach trip season, and if you don’t own a cooler that you really like, some of our readers’ favorites are on sale right now on Amazon.

You can save today on both soft and hard RTIC coolers, both in multiple sizes. The Soft Packs are actually our readers’ favorite coolers, and they really do keep ice frozen for days. Purely for ergonomic reasons, I prefer them to the hard coolers, but the hard ones include a drain to let out excess water, which is a nice plus.

Though Amazon doesn’t actually show them as discounted, all three soft packs are down to their best prices in at least 11 months. The 20-can model usually costs about $120-$130, the 30-can model hovers between $140 and $165, and the 40-can behemoth has sold for at least $165 for most of the last year.

The 20 and 45-can hard coolers both fluctuate in price a little more, and both were a few bucks cheaper briefly in February, but these are both still very good prices, historically.


Click &amp; Grow Mini Smart Garden | $75 | Amazon

Click and Grow’s indoor herb garden has been described as “ idiot-proof indoor farming,” and you can get the mini starter kit for $75 today from Amazon today, a full $25 less than usual.

The kit comes with three maintenance-free basil cartridges to get you started, , but you can also purchase plenty of other flowers, herbs, and vegetables from Amazon to suit your taste. Functionally, this thing is pretty similar to MiracleGro’s line of Aerogardens, but aesthetically, it looks like like an Apple product in the best possible way.


Mother’s Day Duo | $100 | Framebridge

We love Framebridge for their nice frames and impressive gallery walls, and now, it seems the service is coming through for Mother’s Day, too. For a limited time, you can get two Chloe frames—normally $65 each—for $100. Upload your photos by May 5 to be sure the frames arrive at Mom’s doorstep in time for the big day. Go with a pic of you two together; she’ll be overjoyed to have a nice memory with her offspring hanging on the wall, and even more excited about how nice the fame looks.


Sure, you can (and should) buy your mom some flowers for Mother’s Day. But imagine if you gave your mom not just one bouquet that inevitably won’t last very long, but rather a living, flowering plant that will produce flowers indefinitely? Thanks to Amazon, you can do just that. A range of rose and peony plants are currently on sale for $17 to $19 (with one peony plant with multiple blooms going for $38). If your mom has a green thumb, this is the gift for her.

Ghost Paper 200-Page Spiral Bound Notebook | $12 | Amazon | Promo code KINJA501

We’ve long been fans of Ghost Paper’s notebooks, which feature subtly embossed lines that you can actually feel as you write, and now you can save 20% on the company’s notebooks (including a new model!) for Mother’s Day with promo code KINJA501.

From our Inventory write-up:

Ghost Paper uses texture, rather than ink, to create the alternating embossed and debossed lines on its pages. The effect is subtle, even invisible at certain angles, and straddles the line of offering tactile feedback without interrupting pen and pencil marks.

Since then, our readers have bought thousands of the company’s 96-page faux leather-bound notebook, which is back on sale for $20 with code KINJA501 today. That code will also save you 20% on the brand new, 200-page spiral-bound version, which is actually cheaper to start with. The cover and binding aren’t as premium, but Ghost Paper sent me a few spiral bounds to check out, and the embossed lined paper is just as good, which is what really matters.

iPad 32GB | $250 | Amazon
iPad 32GB | $250 | Amazon

Unless you really need the iPad Pro (and you almost definitely do not), the standard, vanilla 2018 iPad is a terrific tablet for both consuming and creating media. It even works with the Apple Pencil, the first non-Pro iPad to do so.

While we saw some better deals on these around Black Friday (if you were quick enough to snag them), $250 for 32GB is still a terrific price. If you ask me, it’s worth buying one of these for the express purpose of playing Civilization VI on the go.


If you’re unfamiliar, Cricuts make all those custom stickers, delicate doilies, and Instagram-ready greeting cards you see around your crafty friend’s house. You too can start being a craft wizard with Amazon’s sale on this popular Cricut Explore Air 2 machine.

Let’s talk about the cool stuff it can do: It can cut any design you create in Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. or you can select a design for its extensive library. You can design and cut on the go, using Cricut’s app on your phone or tablet. It’s strong enough to cut through a bunch of different materials like faux leather, vinyl, and speciality paper. Lastly, the Explore Air 2 cuts faster and has more color options than the first model.

The heavy-hitting deal here is the bundle which includes the base unit plus a basic tool set, and a vinyl brights sampler selling for $230. This set rarely moves away from its usual $287.

But if you just want to go for the standalone unit (which typically sells for $250), it’s available for $211 in Mint, Persimmon, and Cherry Blossom flavors, so go open that Etsy shop.

You can finally admit she’s been right all of these years and get her a Mom Knows Best Bracelet Set for $78. If you’re not quite ready for that admission, you can get her a stand Mom Crystal Infusion Charm Bagle for $32.


Breville Smart Oven Air | $320 | Amazon

Breville added air frying and dehydrating features to your favorite line of toaster ovens, and the feature-packed Smart Oven Air is $80 off today, within $11 of the best price we’ve ever seen.

Trust me when I say that once you own one of these, you’ll hardly ever use your “real” oven anymore. It preheats significantly faster, it’s much easier to program, and it’s big enough to cook all but the biggest meals. They don’t go on sale often though, and the Air model hasn’t been this cheap since December. Trust me, it’ll really come in handy when it comes time to prepare Thanksgiving dinner.

Moms are the best and they deserve to be treated like queens, that’s just a fact. They get one day of the year where we’re supposed to tell them how much they mean to us. If you suck at gift giving and never know what to buy your mom, look no further. You can definitely make her cry some ugly tears on Mother’s Day with this gorgeous personalized birthstone necklace.

Etsy seller GeoMinimalist sells family tree birthstone necklaces, and there is no one better to buy them for than your mom. Maybe your grandma, too? Depending on how many kids your mom has, you can choose from one to 10 leaf options. Right now, you can save 25% on the necklaces, meaning they now cost between $27 and $109. If you have more than nine siblings, just cut the list down to your mom’s Top 10.

You can always get two necklaces if your mom is also a grandma; one necklace for her children and one necklace for her favorites, the grandbabies. The necklaces come in three shades: gold, rose gold, and silver, as well as three chain lengths, 16"-18", 18"-20", and 20"-22". Your mom will never say this, of course, but she’ll like this gift more than anything your siblings get her.
