We know how hard it can be to find the perfect gift for all the mother figures in your life, whether it's for your mom, your mother-in-law or a loved one who has been with you through thick and thin. A Mother's Day card just won't cut it for celebrating their dedication. From the sturdiest tote bag we've ever come across to unique jewellery inspired by her favourite cocktail, we've got you covered with Mother's Day gifts that are fun and practical.
Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May in both Canada and the United States. In 2024, Mother's Day falls on May 12.
Upgrade her tote bag game with this sturdy alternative that can be monogrammed with her initials—or something a little cheekier. It's made from cotton canvas, with double-stitched seams and reinforced handles that can hold up to 500 pounds.
There's something a little silly about the status water bottle craze that's taken social media by storm recently, but we have to admit this viral Owala vessel lives up to the hype. It's leakproof, triple-insulated and features two drinking options: a built-in straw and a wide-mouth opening.
We're of the opinion that cute socks make an excellent gift, and you can't go wrong with a pretty floral design. This pair’s pastel colour palette is reminiscent of a Monet painting.
Sandalwood, clove and cinnamon make a warm and cozy combination that sets the mood for a relaxing evening with a book or magazine. The box contains 33 incense sticks and a holder.
We bet she could use a fresh set of towels. These fluffy cotton-bamboo blend hand towels are made with the brand's zero twist technology, which results in softer and more absorbent yarn. (And if you're looking to splurge, opt for the bath towel set.)
For the avid reader and book club host, an e-reader is worth the investment. Chatelaine staffers love their Kobo e-readers, which are compatible with most Canadian library systems, meaning you can check out bestsellers for free without leaving the house.
This brand new model features a colour touchscreen display, a built-in notebook for your reading notes, adjustable brightness settings, page-turn buttons and is fully waterproof.
Stylish and comfortable, the summer's hottest sneaker is ideal for moms on the go. The Samba style can be paired with a cute dress, a tailored trouser or denim shorts—and her sore feet will thank you.
Inspired by the iconic Café Verlet on Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, this limited-edition candle features notes of roasted coffee beans and toasted cereal.
If she's got a candle collection to rival HomeSense, get her a candle warmer lamp. It melts the wax evenly and releases the fragrance into the room, with no fire risk. Plus, this cute vintage-looking warmer comes with a remote that couldn't be easier to use.
Made from recycled water bottles, this water-repellent reusable bag is guaranteed to make her grocery runs more fun. We love this playful green onion design that stands out against a flashy royal blue backdrop.
If her go-to drink is a dirty martini, she'll love this whimsical ring topped with a clay olive by Toronto brand Fleurs de Fitz. The adjustable ring makes a unique gift, and is available stuffed with your choice of pimento or blue cheese.
Enriched with shea butter, this lush verbana soap lathers up like a dream. The giftable bar is wrapped in a printed paper and adorned with a semi-precious stone.
Paired with handmade candle holders, these pretty painted taper candles make a great gift. They also come in pink and yellow.
Le Creuset's newest salt and pepper mills give their classic design a sleeker, more minimalist look. These will look good in any kitchen, and come in a range of the brand's bestselling colours.
Put an easy-to-care-for plant in this cute glazed porcelain pot, and you've got yourself a personalized gift that will bring a pop of colour into her space. It also comes in trendy pink and orange stripes.
A trendy chunky ball chain and toggle clasp give this made-in-Canada pearl necklace a modern twist. We love the oversized, flat pearl that sits nicely on the neck.
