No present? No problem! Gift teaser is here so you can send Mom a sneak peek of her present in a pinch.
Uh-oh. You just looked at your calendar and yes, Mother’s Day is a mere handful of days away, and no, you don’t have a present. If the panic is creeping in, consider this permission to stop it in its tracks—we’ve got the last-minute gift solution to save the day! Meet Etsy gift teaser, a new feature that makes it easy to let Mom know her present is on the way (and let you share tracking info and a thoughtful note!) in just a few quick clicks—even if you’re already in the car on your way to Mother’s Day brunch.
With gift teaser, you can stop sweating the shipping time and choose something you know Mom will really love—like a custom birth flower sweatshirt embroidered with her kiddo's name, a sunny yellow handcrafted bud vase, or a super-sweet and simple "mama" necklace, an especially great choice for new moms. So go on and get shopping—and may we suggest taking Gift Mode for a spin to find a present perfectly tailored to her interests? We're breaking down the in's and out's of gift teaser below, and sprinkling in some of the thoughtful last-minute gifts topping our own lists.
Step 1: Find the perfect present, and mark it as a gift
First things first: identifying that just-right present you know will make Mom feel seen! When in doubt, start with her hobbies. Is she head-over-heels obsessed with knitting? Consider a sweet yarn bowl or a charming pendant necklace engraved with a pair of needles. If she's known for her hosting skills, surprise her with a set of stylish linen napkins, just in time for her next dinner party. And if gardening is her go-to, we have the perfect pair of gloves to keep her hands clean while she happily weeds away in the sunshine. Once you've found Mom's present-to-be, add it to your cart, and check the "Mark order as a gift" box before heading to check out.

Step 2: Add your gift details
On the next screen, take a minute to fill out your gift details—we promise it's super speedy. Just add your name, a thoughtful note for Mom, and decide whether or not you want your gift teaser to include a sneak peek of the present. If you go for it, Mom will see a blurred image of her gift in the gift teaser, and can decide for herself whether she wants to click to reveal her on-the-way present, or resist the temptation. How fun is that?

Step 3: Send away, and make Mom's day!
Last but not least, add Mom's email address and decide when you want the gift teaser to send. You can schedule it to arrive in her inbox right after you purchase, when the gift ships, or on a specific date—you know, like Mother's Day. The choice is yours, and once you're all set, just click "Save and continue", choose your shipping address, and place your order. Ta-da! See, we told you it was easy.
