You’ll easily be her favourite child with these special gift ideas

In case you haven’t marked it in your cal yet, Sunday, May 8, is Superhero’s Mother’s Day. Although we should definitely be celebrating them 365 days of the year, that’s no reason not to make the mother figures in our lives feel extra special and loved on this particular day. From spa-worthy beauty products to chic home decor items, here are 18 sweet Mother’s Day gifts that’ll make her day, month and year.

Banana Republic dress, $200, bananarepublic.ca SHOP HERE

For the mom who loves to dress up: Brighten up her spring wardrobe with this not-too-mini A-line dress in mood-boosting fuchsia. With its tasteful open back and billowing sleeves, she’ll get heads turning everywhere she goes. If pink is not her colour, this Banana Republic dress is also available in an on-trend canary yellow or a timeless ecru shade.

Jo Malone Sakura Cherry Blossom Cologne, $189, jomalone.ca SHOP HERE

For the scent-collecting mom: Is she into taking photos of cherry blossoms? She can celebrate sakura season all year round with Jo Malone’s newest fragrance. Housed in a limited-edition pink bottle, this spring-y fragrance features delicate cherry blossom and tart bergamot, which makes for a fresh and vibrant scent to add to her collection.

Dior Rouge Dior Refillable Lipstick in 720 Icone, $49, sephora.com SHOP HERE

For the makeup lover: With bold lips making a comeback after a year or two of balm or gloss, ease Mom back into lipstick with this long-wearing, nourishing matte formula from Dior in an effortless neutral-pink shade. It’s refillable, too, so when she runs out, she can easily re-up or switch it out for another colour and feel good about saving on beauty packaging waste.

Mejuri Pearl earrings, $98, mejuri.com SHOP HERE

For the pearlcore fan: Is there a more fail-proof present than a pair of pearl earrings? There is not. Light up Mom’s eyes with these fashion-forward pearl drop earrings from Mejuri—the organic shapes and delicate drop style feel new yet timeless—and watch her never take them off.

Nori iron and steamer, $155, nori.co SHOP HERE

For the polished dresser: Is Mom tired of taking out her ironing board for every little wrinkle? Trick question, everyone is. Enter Nori. After becoming fed up with leaky steamers and clunky ironing boards, its founder, Courtney Toll, came up with a DIY hack involving her hair straightener. Then she made it into a real product: a portable hybrid steamer/iron designed to press, steam and refresh clothes with ease. Available in three pretty colours, it’s travel-friendly and has six fabric-specific heating options (silk, wool, linen, to name a few).

Diptyque Limited Edition Roses Candle, $103, nordstrom.ca SHOP HERE

For the mom whose house always smells good: The Parisian candle and fragrance house partnered up with L.A.-based artist and florist Maurice Harris on this special coloured collection. Diptyque’s iconic Roses scent comes in this limited-edition pink tinted glass and design—even the box is an artwork. When she’s done with the candle, she can use the jar as a vessel for makeup brushes, kitchen utensils or spare keys.

Karen Wazen sunglasses, $231, farfetch.com SHOP HERE

For the trendsetting mom: Founded by the ever-so-stylish Instagram mom/entrepreneur Karen Wazen, this brand offers the most beautiful collection of on-trend sunglasses, including these classic tortoiseshell frames in the season’s hot rectangular shape. You’ll want to steal them for yourself, but try to resist the impulse.

Parachute cotton robe, $149, parachutehome.com SHOP HERE

For the mom who loves to lounge: A couple of years ago, we at The Kit called it: Everyone wants a bathrobe, and we still stand by that statement in 2022. So get Mom something she really wants. We suggest this stylish and super soft spring-weight robe in “celery green” from Parachute aptly named the Cloud Cotton Robe. Made with 100 per cent Turkish cotton, this robe features fluffy, lightweight 4-ply gauze, a snug waist tie and two side pockets to hold her phone, elastics, tissues or whatever else she needs at hand while lounging chicly at home.

For the spa-going mom: Caudalie Vinotherapist Replenishing Vegan Body Butter, $53 SHOP HERE

Enriched with sweet almond oil, desert date oil, grapeseed oil and organic shea butter, this ultra-rich body butter will not only help soothe and replenish moisture to dry skin without greasy residue, but also make your mom feel like she’s at a spa in Bordeaux.

Hermès Les Mains Hermes in Rose Baltique, $63, hermes.com SHOP HERE

For the mom with perfectly manicured hands: If you think nail polish may not be a worthy gift for Mom, you may see things differently with this objet d’art-worthy one from Hermès—especially since it comes in the iconic orange box. If you’re not sure what shade to pick from its 24-shade offering, go for this dusty rose: soft pink nails are timeless and work for every mood and situation.
