Gift Ideas for Mum

With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, I’ve been brainstorming gift ideas for the lady who inspires me most in my life. While no small token could ever fully embody the love and appreciation I feel for my mother, I’ve put together a short list of my favourite items to gift this Mother’s Day.

1. Byredo’s “Burning Rose” candle is the perfect addition to a relaxing bubble bath.

2. For the mother who loves to cook: Donna Hay’s The New Classics has over 300, easy to follow, fresh, modern recipes.

3. Au Lit Fine Linens' silk pillow cases do wonders for one’s hair and skin; read about the many benefits of silk pillowcases here.

4. Nadѐge’s chocolate tablets come in a range of eclectic flavours, and there's a different flavour for every letter of the alphabet, making it easy to personalize this year's Mother's Day present (the tablets also make delicious gift tags!).

5. Indigo’s “Heather Tote” is a simple, affordable bag that will complement any spring outfit.

6. Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom & Honey Body & Hand Wash will impress all of your mother’s house guests on their trips to the powder room.

7. This chic business card holder is the perfect accessory for the stylish power woman in your life.

8. Body Blitz is my absolute favourite place in Toronto; this women-only spa offers passes to its therapeutic waters circuit, which leaves your body and mind relaxed and invigorated. Mum will love this unique spa experience.

9. Breakfast in bed is an age-old Mother’s Day ritual; usher the tradition into 2015 with these Chai Spice Cinnamon Rolls and you’ll be mum’s favourite forever.

10. Whenever I envision breakfast in bed, I picture a beautifully laid out tray with a single flower in a vase; this timeless single bud vase makes for the perfect addition to an indulgent breakfast spread, and she’ll have it for years to come.

Happy Mother's Day!
