-
Roped Fringe Throw Blanket
Netflix and...snuggle? Let mom cozy up with a luxuriously woven throw that’s (blessedly) machine washable. $78, available at anthropologie.com
-
fizzi soda stream
This isn’t the Sodastream you used to know. The fizzy water makers have become sleeker, smaller (taking up less precious counter space) and easier to use—and they’ve come down in price since they first arrived on the market. Plus, you can buy some pretty delicious flavour mixes, too. (Try the Diet Cola mix—you’ll be surprised.) $100, available at sodastream.ca

Give Mom the Gift of Sleep
Trust us, the greatest gift you could give mom this Mother’s Day is sleep. Help her to maximize those precious hours with a mask and a natural sleep aid. This sleep mask looks like a tiny foam bra, but trust us here, the contours mean that no pressure is placed on your lids, allowing your eyes and lashes to move naturally even under the mask. The no-pressure feeling makes wearing it more comfortable, and the soft foam blocks out all light and the strap is adjustable. Wrap it up with a bottle of Saje Sleep Well Sleep Remedy and she’ll be sleeping deeply in no time. $26.95 for the Sleep Remedy, available at saje.com, and $14.99 for the sleep mask, available at Bed Bath & Beyond

S'well Mother of Pearl Water Bottle
If mom doesn’t already have one of these cult-fave water bottles—treat her. The stainless steel bottle keeps liquids hot or cold for 24 hours, and it's non-leaching, unbreakable, has a wide mouth for cleaning (or adding ice, lemon wedges, or berries), and they come in a bevy of pretty designs. We adore this swirly mother of pearl one in soft pastel colours. $58, available at Indigo
-
Kobo Aura ONE
E-readers were made for moms. The small, slim size means we can tuck them into our bags for snatches of reading when we're on the go, like waiting to pick up the kids from school, camp, or practice (we do seem to spend a lot of time sitting in the car waiting, don’t we?). Let’s face it, it's often the only way we can get any reading done at all. The Kobo Aura ONE is our pick for moms: it filters blue light so it won’t disrupt sleep patterns and it can be read in direct sunlight without a glare. Plus, it’s fully waterproof. $250, available at kobo.com, Indigo, and Best Buy.
-
Sonix Clear Case
Treat mum to a chic, sleek, and oh-so-pretty new case for her smartphone. For maximum protection against drops, dings, and scratches, while still looking fab, we love Sonix cases. This Happy Hour motif has us dreaming of summer cocktails on the patio. $35, available at Indigo.ca
-
Consontant Skin Care Busy Mom Kit
Consonant products are all-natural, organic and always good for you (‘what goes on you goes in you’ is their motto, so they abstain from using scary chemicals)…and they work. One whiff of their uber-clean scent and we’re transported right to the spa. We love the idea of giving a sampler of a few of their most loved products so that mom can create that spa experience at home. The ‘busy mom’ kit comes with three bath bombs, a soy candle, their clearing masque, and their bamboo cleansing cloths. $55, available at consonantskincare.com
-
Ultrasonic Saje Diffuser
A diffuser is one of those luxe items for the home that mom has probably had her eye on—but resisted shelling out for the treat—which makes it a great gift. An ultrasonic diffuser will fill a room with soft scents, release negative ions to cleanse the air, and boost, calm, or revitalize you—depending on the essential oil used. Saje diffusers give you the best value: they’re silent, have an auto-shut off option, are energy efficient, and look pretty. $90, available at Saje
-
Floral Print Kimono Robe
This painterly and pretty floral kimono is soft and light enough for coming summer months. It’s a cover-up sure to make her feel like a million bucks. $96, available at nordstrom.com
-
Woven Bottom Tote
Surprise mom with a new tote that’s sure to become her summer go-to. Natural, woven, straw textures are trendy this summer, and this one is sturdy and roomy, perfect for taking us from day camp drop-off to a backyard barbeque. It's casual enough for the beach but fancy enough for going out: a true closet workhorse. $113, available at nordstrom.com
-
Give Her a Buzzy New Book
Give mom the gift of a good book. These new releases are sure to be winners. Tug her heartstrings with Lion, the book that inspired the Oscar-nominated best picture film; and thrill her with Into the Water, the latest from the author of The Girl on the Train. Starting at $14, available at Indigo.ca
-
Send Flowers
You can never go wrong with flowers. Giftagram offers stunning bouquets for a range of budgets (we spied a gorgeous bouquet of lilies and a pink azalea plant for $45 each) that ship all over Canada. Download the app, browse the plants, and just enter mom’s shipping info. Done. Starting at $45, available at giftagram.com
-
twiga leggings
Twiga leggings are made in Canada from super soft, wicking, and breathable fabric—they feel like a second skin. They come in women's, teen's, and tween's sizes—so mom and her mini-me can twin. Go the extra mile and get them personalized with her name for an extra-special touch. $68, available at twigaclothing.com

We adore this elegant and sweet pendant letter necklace. Less is more, and this classic piece goes with everything. $64, available at thebay.com
