Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 10, which means two things: Don’t forget to celebrate the mom in your life, and if you’re still searching for a tangible gift, it’s probably too late to have something shipped in time. Most delivery deadlines have already passed, so unless you want to hand her a printed photo of the gift you meant to order weeks ago, a digital present is your best bet.
One of the best options? A subscription to MasterClass. The popular streaming platform features more than 200 classes covering everything from wellness and fitness to cooking, arts, business, and entrepreneurship. Each course is taught by an expert — including plenty of A-list names — making it easy to find something that matches her interests or inspires a new hobby.
To make Mother’s Day gifting even easier, MasterClass is offering 50% off subscriptions ahead of the holiday. The promotion runs through May 10, giving you just enough time to snag a thoughtful last-minute gift before showing up empty-handed.
New users can get MasterClass starting at $10 per month for the Premium Plan. Split that up among friends or family members, and the monthly cost goes down to just $1.60 a month, per person. Sign up for the Premium Plan here.
What Are the Best MasterClass Deals? Pricing, Discounts
Our top hack for saving on MasterClass is to share your account with friends or family. The Standard plan allows one user at a time and costs $5 a month at the time of this writing. The Plus plan, meanwhile, is currently $8/month and can be split between two users. Finally, as we’ve previously mentioned, the Premium plan is $10/month, but allows for six users at a time, making it the best deal, per person.
How Does MasterClass Work? What Courses Does It Offer?

Just a few of the standout courses include “The New Rules of Business” with Kim Kardashian, “Dopamine” with Dr. Anne Lembke, “Designing a Home that Tells a Story” with Joanna Gaines, and creative writing with Margaret Atwood.

Amy Poehler ‘Prepare to be Unprepared’
If your mom talks about Amy Poehler like they’re close personal friends, gift her a subscription to the Prepare to Be Unprepared MasterClass. In the course, Poehler shares “how improv principles can help you push past fear, find your people, and go all in on the life you want.” The class includes 11 lessons in total.
Created with beginners in mind, MasterClass courses focus on video lessons divided into short, easy-to-digest segments you can watch at your own pace. These lessons are accessible on your phone, laptop, tablet, or streaming device, so you can fit in a session whenever it works for you — whether on your lunch break or while traveling.
Beyond the video lessons, most MasterClass courses also include a workbook and opportunities for community interaction, giving you a chance to practice what you’ve learned and share your work with fellow students.
MasterClass also offers a more intensive type of course called “Sessions.” These begin on a set date, involve more hands-on work, and include more feedback from peers. Sessions’ lessons have included video production with Marques Brownlee, negotiation with Chris Voss, and photography with Petra Collins.
