Mother's Day Macaron Gift Ideas (That Are Better Than Flowers)
Mother's Day is the second-biggest flower gifting day of the year. The problem with flowers is that they're lovely for three days and then they're a soggy mess in a vase that needs to be cleared out.
A box of French macarons lasts a week, arrives in beautiful packaging, and feels genuinely considered — especially if you pick her flavors specifically.
Why Macarons Make a Great Mother's Day Gift
- Personal: You can pick flavors she actually likes, not a generic assortment
- Beautiful: They arrive in gift-ready packaging — no wrapping required on your end
- Lasting: Stays fresh 5–7 days refrigerated, not 3 days in a vase
- Shippable: Works whether Mom lives across the street or across the country
- Personal message included: We add your note to the box at no extra charge
Best Macaron Flavors for Mother's Day
