With Mother’s Day arriving on Sunday, May 10, DoorDash has expanded beyond restaurant delivery into a single shopping destination aimed at last-minute and curated gifting. The company’s new, in-app Mother’s Day shop brings flowers, fragrance, home goods and gift cards together — promising quick delivery from national chains and local merchants alike.
What the Mother’s Day shop includes
DoorDash’s offering blends large retailers such as Ulta and Target with neighborhood florists and convenience options through DashMart, letting customers order bouquets, beauty sets, home accessories and celebratory drinks in one place. The service emphasizes speed: many items are available for same-day delivery or late-night pickup.
For shoppers this means fewer tabs and phone calls at the last minute; for smaller merchants it creates a new digital channel to reach customers who normally turn to big-box stores or specialized e-commerce sites.

How subscriptions and gift options factor in
The platform also sells hundreds of gift cards — both physical and digital — and highlights perks for members of DashPass. New users can take advantage of a 30-day trial. Paid subscribers receive $0 delivery fees on eligible orders, reduced service fees, exclusive promotions, five percent back in DoorDash credits on pickup purchases and occasional Lyft ride discounts. DashPass costs $9.99 per month or $96 per year after the trial.
That mix of convenience and membership savings may encourage more last-minute purchases, shifting some holiday spending from specialty sites to delivery apps.
Top picks featured in DoorDash’s Mother’s Day shop
- Bloom Haus bouquet (available via local Ralphs partner) — option to include a vase at checkout.
- Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum gift set (Ulta) — packaged with a travel-size bottle; roughly $115.
- Hearth & Hand pleated ceramic vase (Target) — multiple sizes, starting around $21.99; pairs with DoorDash-delivered flowers.
- Sol de Janeiro mini body cream duo (Ulta) — compact gift box containing two popular creams; about $20.
- DoorDash gift cards — digital or physical options from $5 up to $500, with multiple designs for instant delivery.
These examples illustrate the range: from small, affordable tokens to prestige beauty packages that arrive the same day. The platform’s curation aims to serve varied recipients — from new moms and grandmothers to caregivers and mother-figures in friends’ circles.
Retail observers warn that while delivery marketplaces can boost visibility for neighborhood shops, margins and commission fees are a concern for independent sellers. Meanwhile, consumers gain convenience and a consolidated checkout experience.
If you’re planning a last-minute gesture, browse DoorDash’s Mother’s Day selection early to confirm availability and delivery windows; membership perks such as the DashPass trial may cut costs for heavier users but check the terms before relying on free delivery.
