We’ve said it many times before but it is worth saying again, we love our Moms. After all they have been with us throughout all our trials and tribulations and through it all, they love us like no one else. So why not celebrate all Moms (all the mother figures in our lives – moms, aunties, mentors, etc) this year on Sunday, May 12 with the best ever Mother’s Day gifts?
Yup, Mother’s Day is this coming weekend! But not to worry… you’ve still got plenty of time to pick up the perfect gift. Good thing we’ve got you covered with our best ever Mother’s Day Gift Guide.
Mother’s Day Gifts For The Fashion Mom
Spring is all about a statement coat, and we think Mom would love a trench coat from the Hilary MacMillan collection. MacMillan is a Canadian (cruelty-free) designer that is known for her outerwear; her latest trench collection is full of great silhouettes and prints (plaid, snakeskin, check,etc). And she is size inclusive, offering everything from an XS to 4X. Another Canadian brand that mom would appreciate is OKAYOK. We would gift her a Business Woman tee or one of their signature confetti sweatshirts. Finally, one not gift her a great bag? Every mom needs a great bag that they can fill with all their mothering essentials. We love all the bag options over at ESPE bags. Their collection of cruelty-free, thoughtfully designed handbags at affordable prices make the perfect gift.
Mother’s Day Gifts Of Self Care For Mom
Sure you could book her appointment for some treatments at her favourite Spa (may we suggest the spas at your local five star hotels) but that’s an easy way out. But why not gift her a collection of great self care items for her to enjoy at her leisure. First up, Canadian brand The Cure Skincare. Known for their clean, vegan approach to beauty; The Cure has a tightly edited collection of great products. We’ve tried them all, and love the Face + Neck Serum, the Face + Eye Cream and even their signature lip balm. Mom will be pleased with anything from this brand. Next up, Bathorium. This Canadian brand features a full array of luxurious bath salts, bubble baths and even bath bombs. Finally, you could gift here a scented candle from Planted. These 100% Soy Wax come in a variety of scents, from lavender to vanilla & coconut.
Give The Mother’s Day Gift Of Experiences
Instead of gifting Mom a physical object as Mother’s Day gift this year, why not gift her the gift of an experience. For the mother who loves a luxurious getaway, opt for a stay at Wander: The Resort. This modern lakefront Prince Edward County resort is known for its refined approach to design and relaxation. Their chic modern cabins are the perfect spot for her to unwind. But if Mom is more into glamping, gift her a stay at Back Forty Glamping. Their distinctive geodesic dome accommodations are where modern luxury meets the great outdoors. Each dome is crafted for comfort and privacy, set against the stunning backdrop of Meaford, Ontario.
Simply Delicious Mother’s Day Gifts For The Foodie Mom
Mother’s Day is the perfect time to gift Mom the latest tech for the kitchen. But only if they are big fans of cooking (and not if you think it’s their duty to cook, lol). The Hamilton Beach Digital Air Fryer creates crispy, delicious food with little to no oil. Its 5 litre basket fits enough food to feed a family, and since it cooks faster than a traditional oven, she’ll spend less time preparing meals. And more time enjoying! For the coffee loving mom, gift her the latest KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. Mom will enjoy all of her favourite espresso beverages at home with just the push of a button. Add in some premium coffee beans from Balzac’s coffee and she will be in coffee heaven on Mother’s Day. You can’t go wrong with a great cookbook for Mom. We suggest picking up the latest from one of her favourite TV chefs: The Book of Sandwiches from Jason Skrobar or Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches: A Cookbook from Matty Matheson. Finally, you could always gift her a fabulous gift box from Eataly featuring all the best Italian ingredients.
Crafty Mother’s Day Gifts For The Crafty Mom
If you have a mom that loves arts, crafts and DIYS, you may want to pick her up the must have DIY gift – the Cricut Joy Xtra. Cricut is known for their assortment of smart little cutting machines that can personalize anything at home. The compact Cricut Joy Xtra can help Mom make everything from custom mugs to greeting cards and even iron on transfers. Trust us, she will love it.
Finally, when it doubt, you can always gift here a gift card to her favourite spot to shop on her own
Not sure where she would want to go? Opt for a gift card from Winners, HomeSense, Marshalls. We are sure she will find the perfect mother’s day gifts for herself at one of these three stores – so many gifting possibilities at great prices.
