5 Mother’s Day Gifts Every Canadian Mother Will Love
Mother’s Day is comping up. Have you given any thought to what you’d like to give to your Mom?
She might tell you that all she wants is to spend quality time with you, but deep down she’d like to be showered with gifts that you’ve put a lot of thought into.
If you’re stumped as to what to give your dear Mom on Mother’s Day, here are 5 ideas to spark your imagination.
1. A Day at the Spa
This might not be a new idea for a gift, but trust me – EVERY woman loves to be pampered with a massage, facial, mani-pedi, and any other treatment that spas offer. You can choose the type of package that you want to get based on your budget. There are full-day and half-day packages that can cram all sorts of relaxing treatments for her. Or else, even a simple manicure-pedicure gift certificate will make her happy!
Surprise her with a little extra indulgence by adding a luxurious robe, cozy slippers, or a high-end scented candle to enhance the spa experience at home. After her spa day, she can continue to feel pampered by slipping into a plush robe and enjoying the calming aroma of her favorite scent. Alternatively, you could add a subscription to a wellness or skincare box to keep the spa vibes going beyond Mother’s Day.
2. A Day Off From Housework
OK, so how exactly do you go about wrapping up a clean house in a pretty box and putting a bow on it? Simple. You can easily surprise Mom with a clean house by hiring a professional cleaning service to come in and get your Mom’s home spic and span in time for Mother’s Day. There are plenty of companies such as these that offer gifts for one-day visits. They’re affordable, and they’ll certainly put a smile on your Mom’s face when she realizes she doesn’t have to ruin that manicure you bought her to scrub the floors.
Take it one step further by offering a “Mom’s Day Off” coupon book. Include vouchers for things like cooking her favorite meal, a week of doing the dishes, a car wash, or even a “no-questions-asked” day where she can have the remote control all to herself. You could also add a handmade card or note, acknowledging how much her daily efforts mean to the family.
3. A Gift Basket
Check out our Mothers Day gift baskets or our Gifts for Her categories if you want to offer her a memorable and thoughtful basket that contains a thoughtfully curated selection of items that she will love. You can tailor it to her likes too! Does she love coffee? Is she obsessed with chocolate? Does she enjoy her tea? Gift baskets are a great way to give tailored gifts that are filled with all the little goodies she loves. Make the baskets as big or small as your budget can handle.
Why not make the gift basket more personal by including custom items? For instance, a personalized coffee mug with a sweet message, monogrammed towels or bath products, or even a photo album filled with family memories. You could also add in a handwritten letter or a series of notes scattered throughout the basket, telling her what you appreciate about her. Tailor the basket to her hobbies, such as a gardening kit if she loves plants, or a book lovers’ bundle with a cozy throw and her favorite novels.
4. A Personalized Necklace
If you’ve been paying attention to the necklines of celebrity moms lately, you would have noticed that they are draping their necks with chains that feature their kids’ names, initials, birthdays, or birthstones. It’s become a huge trend. And guess what? Your Mom will love it too.
To make the personalized jewelry even more special, pair it with a handwritten letter explaining the significance of the necklace you bought. Share a story or memory linked to the names or birthstones included. Another option is to include a small keepsake box where she can safely store the necklace and other sentimental items. You could also make it a set by adding matching earrings or a bracelet to complete the look.
5. A Surprise Family Portrait
Whether your family portrait was done when you were in the first grade, or you’ve simply never had one done at all, Mom will absolutely turn on the waterworks when she is surprised with a day at the photographer’s studio to finally get that family photo she’s always wanted.
Take this idea up a notch by including a beautiful custom frame or creating a photo book alongside the portrait. You could also capture candid moments from the family portrait session and surprise her with a slideshow or short video montage of her favorite family memories. To add an extra touch, plan a post-portrait day out for a family lunch or dinner to continue the celebration.
The Bottom Line
No matter what Mother’s Day gift you decide to give your Mom, make it as personalized as possible. It’s all in the details, as well as the effort put into the gift-giving that really counts.
