A Stylish Mother’s Day Gift Guide

When you asked her what she’d like for Mother’s Day this year, she insisted no gift was necessary — but you know better. While it can be hard to find the perfect gift for the person who gave you everything, our Mother’s Day gift guide is full of stylish and design-savvy presents to make her special day extra special.

Gloam Eau de Parfum

Aesop’s newest fragrance is a foolproof Mother’s Day gift for the woman who believes more is more. Blending the essence of mimosa, saffron and iris, this earthy blend has a spicy yet floral aroma that falls uniquely between classic and eclectic. $255, from Aesop.

The Power Ring

For the mom that’s constantly on the go but still loves to get in a good workout, Bala’s Power Ring is a multi-purpose solution. This weighted tool is designed as a cross between a dumbbell and a kettlebell, making it suitable for any type of training, from HIIT to yoga. $100, at Indigo.

H Project Double-Sided Blanket

If you’re seeking a Mother’s Day gift that could remain a keepsake for years to come, look to this blanket from Obakki’s new collaboration with H project by Holt Renfrew. The thick, luxurious blanket, includes a mix of wool and cashmere woven in by a historical Italian mill using techniques that are centuries old. $495, at Holt Renfrew.

Forever Flowers

As recommended by DIY expert Alexandra Gater, Queen West’s Euclid Farms is a top destination in the city when it comes to sourcing beautiful and high-quality floral arrangements. While you can never go wrong with a fresh bouquet, the gift is short-lived and creates waste. Luckily, this local shop has a longer-lasting and more sustainable solution. Dried flower arrangements are a customizable option with an end result that is just as stunning as fresh flowers – only this batch will last a lifetime. From $30, at Euclid Farms.

Mini Pearl Satellite Bracelet

It wouldn’t be a Mother’s Day gift guide without at least one piece of jewellery. Complement your mom’s elegant style with Mejuri’s timeless Mini Pearl Satellite bracelet. Made from a delicate gold vermeil chain adorned with freshwater pearls, this contemporary twist on a classic style embodies beauty and grace. $128, from Mejuri.

Mercedes Marble Bath Caddy

With a decorative yet practical bath caddy, Mom can take her rest and relaxation to the next level. Made of marble, this caddy is easy to clean, waterproof and features subtle engravings to securely place soap, toiletries, or a glass of wine. Approx. $170, at Anthropologie.

Apprenti Or’ganik Body Oil

The mom-to-be has probably received enough onesies and teething toys to last a lifetime. For her first Mother’s Day, gift her something that she can use throughout and after her pregnancy. Made from a fast-acting combination of Beta Carotene and Vitamin C, Apprenti Or’ganik body oil nourishes dry skin and soothes stretch marks. $65, at The Apothecary Inc.

Toronto’s Favourite Fanny Pack

They were cool back in the day – and with a recent comeback – fanny packs are a stylish-yet-handy accessory for hustling moms who constantly have their hands full. Made by a mother and daughters trio, all of Roncy Packs’ materials are sourced locally and made right here in Toronto. $155, at Roncy Packs.

The Airflo Brim Hat

Ossington’s Tilley shop boasts quite a collection of activewear and outerwear. As temperatures start to rise, it’s time to get back to gardening, foraging and whatever else it is that outdoorsy people do. For the moms with a green thumb, gift the sun-protective and stylish LTM6 Airflo brim hat. $99, at Tilley.

The Wobble Grinder

Seeking an unconventional gift to give this Mother’s Day? For the mom that always keeps her cool, Ellie Mae’s Wobble Grinder elevates the typical cannabis tool to a new level of high design.
