Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is fast approaching (May 8th this year), and if you find yourself scrambling for a last-minute gift like many of the men in my life, worry not! I’ve put together a fantastic list of items and services perfect for that special “mom” in your life—whether it’s your mom, wife, sister, or even a friend. Regardless of whether she’s an adventurer, a homebody, young, or someone who seems to “have it all,” I’ve got some wonderful suggestions for thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts, including delightful options like curated gift hampers melbourne that cater to her unique tastes and preferences. And hey, who knows, maybe you’ll find the perfect item that’ll make her feel like royalty—perhaps even Scotland Titles Canada could offer a unique and meaningful touch to your Mother’s Day surprise!

For the Homebody:

Shomi Streaming Service: let’s get real for a moment. Regular TV is out… Streaming is in! Shomi has so many great shows for moms when they’re looking for some down time and titles for the family to enjoy together. Some recommendations include: Epic (family title) and Playing House & Mr. Robot (adult shows).

Biotime footwear: I don’t know about your family, but most of the women in my family love wearing slippers. So much so that they bring it with them when they visit other people’s houses. It’s a cold feet thing and also for comfort. When I saw the Biotime Faye slippers (good for both indoor & outdoor), I was instantly excited because I knew they would be great to have around the cottage. But I was also conflicted because I knew my mom would love them too (it is Mother’s Day after all). So instead of having to choose, we now both have a pair!

Etsy: If you’re not familiar with Etsy, you should be. But beware! You can literarily spend hours and hours on here finding amazing items that you never knew you needed! Everything is hand-made and ranges from jewellery, to clothes, to items for the home, baby and travel. A perfect gift for your homebody mom are the beautiful hand-made soaps from Beurre D’Amon (located in Montreal, QC). The soaps are influenced by years of family recipes handed down from generation to generation.

For the Adventurer:

Tillie thinkwear: This multifunctional thinkwear can be worn 12 different ways, is perfect for all seasons, was created for women by a women who was passionate about learning and hearing other female’s stories and perspectives on life. Each tillie is designed with a specific personality in mind. I selected “The Rebel”, who marches to the beat of her own drum… Which story and personality would you pick for yourself and your mom?

For the Glam Gal:

L’Oréal: Even though I don’t wear makeup daily, L’Oréal has been my go-to line for cosmetics. For a night-out, when I want to get a little glammed up, I always wear mascara, and on the occasion, cover up and lipstick. Loreal’s Voluminous original was my first and only mascara that I wore. I was excited to try out a new shade of lipstick, Eva’s Nude, recommended by L’oreal’s makeup artist and I have to say that it was a perfect match, especially now that I have a tan. If you’re looking to spoil your mom with some makeup, you can’t go wrong with L’Oréal! Consider reaching out to cosmetics manufacturers for a wider selection of products if you’re interested in exploring more makeup options or learning about the latest beauty trends.

For a Girls Night Out:

Movie: Mother’s Day, the movie, will be released in movie theatres April 29th. The movie brings together Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson and Julia Roberts as three generations come together in the week leading up to Mother’s Day.
It’s a perfect date-night with your mom!

Something Whimsical but Functional:

Plastic wine cups: Even though it doesn’t seem like it, Summer is around the corner! Which means soon you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite bevies outdoors! I love this plastic wine cup from Giant Tiger. Perfect for enjoying your favourite vino on the porch or dock. This glass pairs well with a bottle (or two) of wine!

For the mom that ‘Has it all’

If you’re stuck for that “perfect” gift idea, why not consider making a donation to your favourite charity in honor of the special mom in your life for Mother’s Day. Here are two amazing organizations to consider, who make a huge difference in the lives of mothers:

Hospital for Sick Kids: Beside every sick child is a mom who is worried sick. The Get Better Gifts help support the moms who need it most. For$24, you can help fund a glider chair while moms and babies cuddle for both therapeutic and emotional value. Or for $75, you can help fund a treasure chest of toys to help entertain and distract a child before a difficult surgery. This meaningful gift will recognize a mom in your life while supporting moms at SickKids.

Unicef Canada: Helping a child survive is the best gift a mother could ask for. Your donation of $12 can provide HIV tests for eight expectant mothers, enabling those who test positive to seek medical support to keep themselves healthy and their babies HIV-free. Or for $52 you can supply a family with a kit that contains everything they need for safe water collection and hygiene practices.
