13 Mother’s Day Gifts At Every Price Point

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 when it comes to celebrating their dedication. From an app-controlled mug that will keep her coffee warm all day to a unique piece of jewellery inspired by her favourite cocktail, we've got you covered with Mother's Day gifts that are fun and practical.

Ember Smart Temperature Control Mug 2, $175

What does mom really want? We’re willing to bet a still-hot cup of coffee tops her wish list. With this smart mug, she can set her preferred drink temperature on the app and the built-in warmer will keep her drink warm for up to 90 minutes, or all day if she uses the coaster, which doubles as a charging station. 

Aēsop Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm, $43

Everyday luxuries she wouldn’t splurge on for herself make the best gifts, and a pricey hand cream fits the bill perfectly. Treat her to soft, nourished hands with this rich balm scented with a spicy blend of cedar atlas, patchouli and clove bud.

Kobo Libra Colour E-Reader, $230

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 model features a colour touchscreen display, a built-in notebook for reading notes, adjustable brightness settings and easy-to-use page-turn buttons.

Pandora Essence Twisted Triangle Small Hoop Earrings, $145

Looking to add to her jewellery collection? These geometric earrings are anything but basic, making them the perfect cool-mom upgrade from classic hoops. 

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan Sweater, $110

This Mongolian cashmere cardigan is a perfect addition to any mom's spring wardrobe—it can be layered over graphic tees or worn on its own for a pulled-together look. It also comes in a dozen different colours to match her style. Bonus: Get a matching cashmere sweater for her little one, too.

Shark CryoGlow LED Face Mask, $400

If she doesn’t already own a LED light therapy face mask, we guarantee you she wants one. From redness and acne to hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, the buzzy beauty gadget is a one-stop solution to almost every skin concern. This one features all the benefits of LED light therapy, plus cooling under-eye cryo patches to depuff tired peepers. (Oh, and it’s also 20% off right now.)

Fleurs de Fitz Olive Cocktail Ring, $120

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.

H&M Striped Hand Towel, $10

Let's face it—the bathroom could probably use a fresh set of fancy guest towels. These fluffy cotton hand towels come in super trendy colour combos, like this pretty pastel blue and yellow motif. Pair with a chic hand soap—like this one by B.C.-based bodycare brand Sangre de Fruta—for a thoughtful powder-room refresh.

Guerlain L’Art et La Matière Customizable Scented Candle, $200

What more chic than a scented candle? One that’s entirely customized to her tastes. Choose from six jars (we’re obsessed with the leopard-print option) and nine sophisticated scents, like Vanille Planifloria, Rose Centifolia or Bergamote Fantastico. You can also get the jar engraved with a sweet message for a truly one-of-a-kind gift. 

Nespresso Ice Coffee Tumbler, $30

If she drinks her coffee iced, she’ll love this viral spill-proof tumbler. It comes in a range of fun seasonal colours, including blush pink, mint green and—our favourite—spring-ready lavender. And if you want to really level up her morning routine, the matching purple coffee maker—from Nespresso’s Vertuo Pop+ line, the same one Team Chatelaine uses to brew their afternoon jolt at the office—is currently on sale for just $99. 

Marimekko Pieni Unikko Slippers, $125

Cozy slippers are always a good idea. These ones by Finnish design house Marimmeko are adorned with designer Maija Isola's iconic Unikko floral pattern, made from soft cotton terry and have a grippy rubber sole to navigate wet bathroom floors. 

Dyson Supersonic Travel Hair Dryer, $400

For frequent flyers and beauty enthusiasts, the lightweight and compact design of Dyson’s first-ever travel hair dryer is a game changer. It’s 32 percent smaller and 25 percent smaller than the OG, but it still packs the same salon-worthy features and ultra-fast dry time. Plus, it has dual voltage so it can be used all over the world with just an adapter.

L.L. Bean Boat And Tote In Medium, $55

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.
