Photo Gallery: Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Last minute gift ideas for every type of mom.
Does she prefer a tailored look?
Traditional doesn’t mean out-of-the-loop in terms of trends! Our picks have timeless appeal that will keep classic rooms fresh: think beautiful floral patterns and neutral tones.
For the timeless and classic…
With a Chinoiserie print in a soft hue, this DwellStudio pillow is a lovely touch on a neutral sofa, while Sarah Richardson fans will love her crisp fabrics on a favourite chaise. For foodies, consider a KitchenAid mixer in a soft pastel, or more budget-friendly Anthropologie measuring cups. Indigo‘s glazed mug perks up the first cup of the day, while the morning mail can be corraled in Kate Spade’s stylish mail tray.

Is she drawn to Eames?
Modern moms are all about clean lines and nautural colours. Our picks have the savvy Scandinavian/mid-century cachet that she craves, for a budget price.
Savvy choices for those well versed in design.
The modern mom loves the simplicity and natural materials that define mid-century designs. The Eames Hang-It-All has serious design chops despite the playful colour. Jewelry can be displayed from the slanted arms of Ikea‘s simple, tree-like mirror. The rich wood coffeemaker and Dansk salad bowl, Serena & Lily’s folkloric style table runner and West Elm‘s glazed vase all capture an authentic ’50s vibe.

Does your mom love Miles Redd and Kelly Wearstler?
The eclectic mom has tastes that are influenced by many styles, but she likely has a look that’s all her own. She’ll appreciate gifts that serve as focal points and conversation pieces.
For the unique…
A brightly coloured pillow from Toronto designer Avril Loreti or Anthropologie’s tea set add whimsy to a room. Give your mom a showcase for displaying her treasures with a shadow box or Nate Berkus‘s tray for Target. Plant a terrarium with an array of your mom’s favourite plants.

Does she have a look that says Canadiana?
If she’s happiest up in the country surrounded by trees or at the lake next to a warm fire, she’ll find the comfort she craves in our cottage-chic picks.
For moms who love to be close to Mother Nature.
A big, red quilt and a scattering of Beaver Canoe pillows define cosy, Canadian style. A wood tray table and simple, nautical-style candles set the mood for a mom who loves to embrace the simple things. A fringed Gluckstein beach towel is an indulgent touch after a dip in the lake.

Does your mom have a passion for exploring the souks and exotic markets?
The free-spirited mom is attracted to pieces that resemble souvenirs gathered on an incredible trip. Our gift ideas will save you the cost of the airfare.
For the world traveller…
Middle Eastern flavour is easy to add with an inlaid mirror from Serena & Lily, an intricate copper lantern and pouf created from a handmade rug. DwellStudio‘s diamond-cut egg vase, Jayson Home‘s frames and a gold elephant figurine hint at African and Indian influences.
