Where would we be without our mums and mother figures? They raise us, teach us right from wrong, make us feel better when we’re sick and love us unconditionally. They’re superheroes in plain clothing.

And with Mother’s Day just around the corner on Sunday May 12th, you might be in search of some awesome gift ideas. To help you show your appreciation, we’ve gone ahead and found 5 of the best apps to bring you some gift-giving inspiration this Mother’s Day.

1. Amazon
