You’re running out of time, and flowers are a cliché. Don’t fret — the Avenue team has you covered.
For art lovers
Is your mother an art collector or enthusiast? Sign her up for a class through Sotheby’s Institute of Art. The online course offerings cover a range of subjects, including buying art, writing about it, curating a gallery, and of course its history. There is also a variety of fascinating lectures.

For foodies
Food52 has a subscription service for Especially Puglia olive oil, and lets you adopt an olive tree while you’re at it.

For fans of wine
Keep your mother stocked up on rosé through Summer Water Societé. The four-month wine program (it runs May through August) delivers different versions of Winc’s Summer Water wine.

For readers
The New York Review of Books’ Book Club mails out a new title, as selected by its editors, monthly. And despite its name, there is no physical “club” that meets to discuss the books — perfect for social distancing!

For moms who want to try something new
There’s a reason you’ve been hearing a lot about Masterclass lately: the classes cover a wide variety of subjects, and its A-list instructors are genuinely interesting. Depending on how well you know your mother’s taste, you can either sign her up for a single class or a year-long membership.
