These gorgeous gifts will warm your mother's home and heart.
We hope you already have a plan to celebrate mom, but just in case you’re still trying to find that special something, we’ve compiled our favourite things that moms everywhere are bound to love. From delicate jewellery and accented throw pillows to pretty flower vases and scented candles, these gift ideas will help you show mom exactly how much she means to you. (We suggest presenting her with one of the below after whipping up a batch of these carrot cake waffles for a Mother’s Day that’s extra special.)
Foe and Dear’s handcrafted jewellery is subtle, delicate and elegant—perfect for mom! This Cream Pearl necklace ($130) is just one of the many unique pieces you’ll find at Room 6, a sophisticated boutique in Deep Cove. A single freshwater pearl may be bijou, but that’s exactly why it will become a staple of your mother’s wardrobe. room6.com
Who said simple has to be boring? The modern ceramic Posey vases (from $10) make a statement with their peach, coral and aqua geometric forms. Complete the ensemble by helping mom fill them with succulents or wildflowers. eq3.com
Mom’s always appreciate floral arrangements, but they wilt ever so quickly. Instead, add some style to her indoor garden with this Rope Globe terrarium ($86). This low-maintenance posy of polished stones, dried ferns and lichens is nestled inside a glass orb that hangs from frayed rope, giving it a rustic-chic look. It’s the perfect accessory for any room that receives plenty of natural sunlight. smflowers.net
A currant, ambrosia and sugared berry WoodWick Trilogy jar candle ($25) evokes more than one scent as the flame burns through three fragrantly sweet layers. If your mom enjoys the soothing sound of a crackling fire (the wooden wick snaps as it burns), this is the perfect addition to her home. bedbathandbeyond.ca
Bright and cheery colours are the watermark of spring, and these Embroidered Pixel Tile pillow covers ($27) echo those sunshine rays. Eco Tasar’s artisans in rural India handcrafted these mosaic-inspired accent coverlets with a nod to oriental friezes. So just think, you can brighten up your mother’s home and simultaneously support a working mother on the subcontinent. westelm.com
Although outdoor patio season may completely pass us by this year (seriously…where’s the sun?), we still think these gorgeous Sunset DOF glasses ($16 each) deserve to make an appearance. Whether they’re provisional eye candy or serving up cold infusions, they’ll bring a splash of colour to any kitchen. anthropologie.com
The exquisite brass Monstera Deliciosa mobile ($179) will add a touch of elegance to a neutral room. Though the palm leaves looks gorgeous when they shine, your mom can also choose to let it take an oxidized, antiquated look. nineteenten.ca
This Teixidors Hydra Grey throw ($395) is an extra soft blend of silk and Merino wool. Handmade in Spain and inspired by the wool of Provence, where their sheep were raised, this throw will keep mom feeling warm and cozy on a cold night. providehome.com
