Soleil Succulents is based in Escondido, California, and their boxes will convince just about anyone that they can, in fact, keep a plant alive.
Promising review: "I bought a three-month subscription and a single box to give to my mom for her birthday. Danica was super helpful and responsive and made sure that I received the single package in time for my mom's birthday — my mom really loved her gift and is looking forward to her subscription. And I was so happy I bought a subscription for myself to get through the winter! Thank you!" —Kimberly Whitworth

2. A Mix Box by Homemade Bakers, because while, yes, giving pre-made sweets on Mother's Day might be more traditional, this will let them flex their pastry-making muscles so they can enjoy delicious desserts all year long. Just make sure they know that by receiving this gift they're legally obligated to share whatever they bake with you (past recipes include chocolate cherry-filled cupcakes and cranberry white chocolate blondies) 😋

5. A Paper Bee Monthly Subscription Box filled with stationery, greeting cards, and notepads for the mom who thinks handwritten letters are far superior to emails. Old school, we love to see it!

13. A Tokyo Treat subscription, because your mom wholeheartedly considers snacking a personality, specifically, theirs (the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree, amirite?). As a huge fan of Japanese KitKats, I highly endorse this gift.
