The Best Mother's Day Travel Gifts That'll Take Only 5 Minutes to Buy

Haven't gotten anything for your dear mommy for Mother's Day yet? It's alright! If you're looking for the simple, affordable and quick—and ideally, gifts that don't even require you to get up from the computer to purchase and send—then look no further. We know mom is worth than five minutes of your time, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Check out our top three gift options:

· For the luxury-loving mom: A Jetsetter.com gift code:
From one of our favorite luxury travel discount sites, Jetsetter, comes a new gift card option. Actually, it's even easier than a gift card because it's just a gift code. If you're member of the travel sample sale site (which has deals like 50% off hot-to-trot 5-star hotels like Bauer Palladio in Venice and the Monte Cervin Palace in Zermatt, Switzerand). Oh yea, and we're members, so here's a link to join right away. If your mom isn't a Jetsetter member, that's okay. The gift code is an invite too, so she can get in the private site and surf around for other deals.

For the armchair traveler and the mom who just needs to get away, after the jump!

· For the armchair traveler mom: An exotic bouquet
Is your mom glued to the Travel Channel or a huge fan of The Amazing Race? Even if she does get out around the world every so often, it's obvious that she's just as much an avid armchair traveler as a real one. We recommend an exotic 1-800-Flowers bouquet because—put simply—it's the easiest and quickest option for a Mother's Day gift. Their website is mobile-optimized, allowing us to purchase our Mother's Day bouquet and have it shipped all from our iPhone. Go for the $49.99 "Exotic Breeze" orchids with Godiva chocolates or, if she's been dying to go to Italy and re-watched Under the Tuscan Sun like a billion times, then the European Dish Garden is a perfect pick, and that starts at only $39.99.

· For the mom who just needs to get away: A Memorial Day weekend trip
It's not too late to book your mom away for a great Memorial Day weekend. In fact, why not be a good kid and go along with her? We've been drooling over Travelzoo's deals, like the $899 Ireland trip with a room at the Dublin Ritz-Carlton, or the closer-to-home option of a weekend away in a hotel (perhaps with spa services thrown in?). And then there's always the fall-back of cheap theatre tickets.

Gift

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a bouquet of dozen roses from 1-800-FLOWERS. The roses are beautiful. Thanks to "you know who you are".

Online shopping

Interesting.....I just got my mom some nice exotic flowers. I used MSN shopping and Onewayshopping.com (www.onewayshopping.com) as basis for my research. And the best part is that I was able to shop from the convenience of my home.
