We are all about celebrating every mom and everything that they have done and continue to do for us as their children. But it can be hard to come up with a great Mother’s Day gift that shows them how much they mean to us. Many people default to flowers or chocolates or jewellery…Which aren’t necessarily bad choices. But, what every mom really wants is a thoughtful gift.
Every mom is different and the key is to listen to her and see what she really wants or what would really help her out. So on Sunday, May 11th, show your mom how much she means to you with a gift that shows that you pay attention and care.
Here is our round up for all the moms out there.
Mother’s Day gifts for the crafty mom
We will be honest, shopping for a crafty mom can be tricky if you don’t know the whole craft and DIY market. But not to worry, we know the best gifts any crafter would love. Up first, for any mom who is into scrapbooking or making customized clothing or home goods, is the new Cricut Maker 4. The world’s smartest cutting machine is known for endless creations and customizations. The Maker 4 works with 300+ materials, including vinyl, iron-on HTV, cardstock, stickers, and even leather. Maker 4 not only cuts, but it also draws, foils, scores, engraves, debosses & more. Now, if mom is more into power tools, may we suggest the RYOBI 18V ONE+ 6 Tool Kit. This powerful toolkit includes with 1/2-inch Drill/Driver, 1/4-inch Impact Driver, 5-1/2-inch Circular Saw, LED Work Light, Reciprocating Saw, Multi-Tool (and batteries). This is everything mom needs to tackle her next backyard build project. Finally every Mom who likes work with her hands (and love nostalgia) would be all over the LEGO Botanical Bouquet of Red Roses.
Mother’s Day Gifts for the stylish mom
Shopping for Mother’s Day gifts for a stylish mom can be pretty simple if you manage to sneak a peek in her closet. You want to look for what’s already in her wardrobe so you can add in a complimentary piece or two that you know she will wear. One great addition to any mom’s closet, would be the oversized Denim Jacket with Floral Appliqué from Canadian designer Hilary MacMillan. It’s the perfect on trend piece that will go with any outfit. Next, if you think it’s time to upgrade her Mom Jeans, we suggest a pair of classic Levis’ 501 90s Jeans. We know she will love the mid-rise with a loose, straight fit that this jean offers. They’re the vintage jeans she has always dreamed of finding at the thrift store, but without all the rummaging. Now if your fashion forward mom is more high glam that casual chic, we would gift the Tuxedo Birkin Blazer from Smythe. This 70s inspired high glam blazer features a longer cut and a sequin collar. It pairs well with a black pant or a pair of beat up jeans. Last but not least, we love the idea of giving mom the gift of time. Or rather a great watch. The newest edition of the True Square Open Heart watch from RADO features eight white full-cut white diamond hour markers and four black ones. We love that it features a black and white striped polished high-tech ceramic bracelet. It’s graphic; it’s fashionable; it’s timeless.
Delicious gifts for the foodie mom
We don’t believe all moms are naturals in the kitchen, nor should they be expected to occupy that role. But we do appreciate a mom would loves to cook for the joy of cooking. so for those moms we have some great Mother’s day gift ideas. Up first, if mom loves to braise, fry or sizzle in the kitchen then we would suggest gifting her the Titanium Always Pan PRO from Our Place. This chic pan is engineered with groundbreaking NoCo™ technology (a powerful fusion of high-performance materials), creating the perfect non stick cooking experience without any forever chemicals. Next, if Mom loves to indulge in a great dessert or two, she just might fall in love with the Ninja Swirl by Creami. This powerhouse kitchen appliance turns almost anything into ice cream, soft serve, and much more at the touch of a button. We love that she can customize flavor, control the ingredients, and create classic scooped or swirled treats with the touch of a button. Now if mom loves to bake up a batch of cookies or some bread, it might be time to upgrade her stand mixer. The Hamilton Beach Professional All-Metal Stand Mixer will power through any mixing task with 450 watts of power. Further, its specialty attachment option means she can whip up some homemade pasta or make homemade sausages as well.
Now if your mom is more of a foodie who enjoys to eat rather than cook, we suggest making her a delicious dinner at home. We love the pre packaged grocery kits from Canadian based Tre’Dish. We just know that she will love when you cook up the Shell Love Surf n Turf package for her. And while you’re at it, throw in some delicious chocolates from Chocolat de Kat to make a sweet ending to a perfect dinner.
The perfect Mother’s Day gift: The gift of self-care
We believe all moms deserve a little extra pampering and self care for Mother’s Day, so why not gift her some great skincare and beauty products that she can use throughout the year. 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 any Mother’s Day gift from this brand. Or you could gift her the Dream Team collection from trendy skincare line Grace & Stella. The collection includes features their bestselling eye patches, hyaluronic acid serum, rosewater spray, berry lip mask, cleansing balm, & dead sea mud mask – it’s skincare heaven in a box for mom.
For the mom who loves great haircare, we would recommend the bond collection from Shea Moisture. The 4-step routine seamlessly works to smooth frizz, deliver 24-hour frizz control, and strengthen hair from root to tip, transforming brittle hair into soft, renewed strands. Further, if she is looking for a new hair care tool, the One-Step Volumizer Plus from Revlon is a game changer. This multi tool is an ionic hair dryer and hot air brush in one. The One-Step Volumizer will give mom the gift of time back while still looking like she just stepped out of the salon.
Finally, we think all moms deserve a new scent as a gift. We recommend the Elie Sab Elixir. This new eau de parfum is a sparkling duo of Neroli and Mandarin that embodies femininity and empowerment, making it the perfect Mother’s Day gift for the powerful and magnetic mothers in your life! Or the Anais Anais Gift Set. This scent is the mix of jasmine and apricot, nicely blended with powerful notes of vanilla, musk and sandalwood. It is feminine and timeless.
Staycations: The relaxing Mother’s Day gift
Why not send mom on a great staycation to celebrate her motherhood. We love The Royal Hotel in Picton Ontario. It features stunning rooms, an amazing spa and delicious food from chef Albert Ponzo. Or you could send her to Niagara to stay at the stunning 124 on Queen Hotel and Spa. Further, if Mom more of a city girl? Perhaps book her into a four or five star hotel right in the heart of the city. May we also suggest the St Regis in Toronto or The Four Seasons in Montreal. A night away in a luxury hotel for Mom, all by herself, with room service & a spa treatment sounds like the perfect gift to us. Hot tip: pre-load her favourite book into a KOBO eReader so she can just spend her time reading and relaxing. And surprise her with a gift basket delivered right to her room from DoorDash; from May 7 – May 11, customers can choose from three gift baskets to celebrate mom – a bouquet bundle, a beauty bundle or a movie night bundle.
