Mom always said not to procrastinate. But we guess you weren’t always listening: Mother’s Day is just four days away, but thanks to a wide range of last-minute gift options on the Web, your Mom doesn’t have to be empty-handed Sunday. Wow her with a fabulous blue box from Tiffany & Co. — order online by Friday at noon and you’ll have it in time for Sunday’s visit. Try a Mom heart locket pendant in sterling silver ($250) and a chain to hang it on ($50). If you’re looking for a lower-priced option, the silk scarf is chic and budget-friendly ($50). Go the traditional route and send Mom a bouquet of flowers. 1-800-FLOWERS offers same-day delivery on select arrangements. The strawberry floral margarita is a unique take on the standard gift ($70), while the Mother’s Love bouquet goes the more traditional route ($80). Order by 1 p.m. ET Thursday at Harry & David for overnight delivery on a variety of foodie gifts. The deluxe Mother’s Day tower features pears, Moose Munch, chocolate truffles and gourmet brownies ($50). Appeal to Mom’s sweet tooth with a Tower of Chocolates ($40). Order up until 2 p.m. ET Thursday at the Metropolitan Museum of Art store for Mother’s Day delivery. The Parisian dragonfly pin is a nod to spring’s nature-inspired fashions ($85; pictured), while the shoes card case can help Mom look stylish while networking ($30). Expedited shipping today from Sephora will ensure the arrival of Marc Jacobs’ limited-edition Daisy gift set, including eau de toilette spray, body lotion and a purse-sized cologne ($75). Can’t personally deliver Mom breakfast in bed like the good old days? Send her Philosophy’s Breakfast in Bed kit, which features three scented hair and body cleansers in flavors like Cafe au Lait, Belgian Waffles and Fresh Cream ($30).

Since Mother’s Day will be here before you know it, it’s time to start thinking about a gift for the special mom in your life. New moms celebrating their first Mother’s Day deserve special consideration. If you want to give a gift that is sure to become a treasured family heirloom, check out jewelry designer Barry Kronen’s new Babylicious collection, available at Ylang 23. When you send in a cherished photo, this image is then etched into the 18-karat gold charm of your choice using state-of-the-art technology. Choose between the diamond oval frame charm ($4,555, pictured), the diamond square frame charm ($4,300) or the diamond heart frame charm  ($2,235). If you like the idea of a personalized gift on a smaller budget, then these Rembrandt photo charms from Precious Accents might be more appropriate, such as the sterling silver scroll edge charm ($60) or the smooth oval in 14K yellow gold ($285). Precious Accents has so much to choose from that you may be tempted to buy more than one. Perhaps the mom you are buying for is more the private type and less apt to wear her heart – or her children – on her sleeve. If that’s the case, some simple initial charms to represent her beloveds might be a safer bet. At Max and Chloe, these Zoe Chicco personalized charm necklaces are a subtle choice and come with your choice of a single 14-karat gold disk ($195), double gold and silver charms ($220) or three disks ($370). If it’s the thought that counts, mom will appreciate the considerable thought that went behind a personalized gift for her special day.

Spring is the season not only of Easter but also of First Communions and confirmations. For little girls, the major purchase related to their First Communion (also called the First Holy Eucharist) is the celebratory white dress. MyGirlDress.com (also a good site for flower girl dresses, junior bridesmaid outfits and ring bearer tuxedos) has several of these pretty, long-skirted, white lacy dresses. The cap-sleeve Communion dress has a satin bodice and triple-layered tulle skirt ($59.50). A tea-length satin trim dress with organza skirt (pictured) has an adorable flower waistband and sash ($43.50). Sacco Company sells a wide variety of religious gifts and accessories. A First Communion Bible with a special prayer section comes in blue or pink ($22.95). The Catholic Company sells an attractive brushed-metal First Communion photo album ($15) and a pewter picture frame ($16), etched with First Communion symbols. For confirmation, Catholic teens traditionally select a saint from whom to take their confirmation name, and a medal of that saint in gold or sterling silver, with a chain, makes a nice present. The Catholic Company’s catalog of saint medals has medal and chain combinations priced from $28 to $50. Abbey Press has a nice etched glass Confirmation plaque, decorated with a cross and dove ($30). Appropriate for both boys and girls, this Confirmation bracelet includes a pewter accent on a black cord ($12).

The designers at Ecoist have made a name for themselves with cute, clever goods that sturdily rework material that would otherwise have gone to waste: a line of handbags made from old movie billboards, for instance, or bracelets made from folded-up candy wrappers. Their new line of clutches, though ($58 each), sports a design that suggests the purses might have their own second life after serving their initial purpose: The sleek handbags (the Diva clutch is pictured), in materials ranging from funky to mod, are already available in a dainty 7.5-inch length, but are about to be offered in a swanky foot-long version that will look good at a nightclub. If and when the winds of fashion make them undesirable, though, give them to a guy like me, because I’ve found a perfect reuse: One of those foot-long clutches is the perfect size to hold a pocket digital camera, an iPod, a GPS and a cell phone (plus a couple of stray wires and headphones) so they won’t jostle around or get smashed in your backpack or suitcase; the quilty con- struction makes it rigid and padded enough that you needn’t worry much when struggling through airport security, and it can be retrieved easily from a plane’s overhead compartment for all your digi-entertainment needs. (Incidentally: The candy wrappers, soda labels and food packages used for this line are “repurposed” instead of “recycled,” which means they’ve never contained anything edible or ant-attracting; instead, they’re manufacturer misprints or excess packaging that would have gone into landfills if someone didn’t find a way to use them.)

It’s almost sandal weather, tank-top and shorts time, the season of swimsuits drying on the line. If you’re already showing a bit more skin than usual, you might want to add one or two pieces of jewelry in an unexpected place. No, we aren’t suggesting a new piercing, but maybe a toe ring? They’re fun and they bring an exotic flare to one little piggy while the other nine reap the extra attention. Toe-rific Jewelry makes simple, inexpensive fitted rings, such as the sun-catching, gold-filled silver multi-hammered ring ($15). If you prefer gold jewelry, the Plumeria band ($60), a circle of little flowers, is delicate and feminine. To get some sparkle in your step, there’s an adjustable gold or white-gold twist with eight round cubic zirconia from Grace Jewelry ($83). Moving up from your feet, the options multiply when it comes to anklets. A wide variety of simple sterling-silver chain models are available at Auntie’s Treasures, where the length of the chain determines the price. We like the beaded box-chain anklet ($8.32 for 9 inches). Want something more unique? Designer YuccaBloom has a collection of anklets featuring gemstones, Balinese beads, shell and more. For anklets at the higher end of the market, we adore the rose- and white-gold designer anklet at Heavenly Treasures ($225, pictured) and the dainty bezel-set diamond chain anklet ($542) from Bill Barnes. To glorify your curvy midsection, especially in a bikini, a waist chain says far more than any necklace. Body Candy sells back belly chains. Here the pendant or focal point of the jewelry is set at the small of the back. For waist chains with Swarovski pearls and crystals, go to Looney Maiden Jewelry, where prices run from $105 to $160. All chains are 36 inches, but you can add inches for $2 each to get the length you want.

You may think you’re looking chic at work with those cute oversized hoop earrings or that trendy chunky bracelet, but you’re not. That’s because of what is hanging around your neck. That clunky ID badge, bearing your name, rank and employee number, pretty much blows any style statement. It generally hangs on a utilitarian black cord thingy and is probably the first thing people notice about your carefully crafted look. But you don’t have to live under the thumb of the workplace fashion police. What you need is a bejeweled practical accessory. Pretty lanyards at Stylish Credentials can be had for less than $15. Chose from a variety made from designer beads, glass pearls, precious and semi-precious stones and metals. The workmanship and intricate designs and selections of gem-colored beads make these lanyards (from $15.95 to $40) and these ($20), from Moonbabies.com, truly wearable art. Artfully support breast cancer awareness with this style, or emulate executive elegance with Amtraco’s lanyard constructed of semi-precious stones, beads of Swarovski crystal, freshwater pearl and Czech glass. These lanyard/necklaces may look delicate, but they are assembled with coated stainless wires to withstand plenty of stress – the kind you feel at the end of a bad day when you want to yank it off and toss it across the room. Tell everyone you’re cool with a hip cat piece, or show your feminine side with these bejeweled credentials from BeaDing-a-Ling (you have to call to get prices and order pieces). While many sites pull your look together for you, complete with lanyard, badge holder and reel, those items can be bought separately at Kennyproducts.com and MyJewelThief.com. Whatever you do, ditch that company-issued number.
