Mother’s Day Gift Ideas (That She’ll Love!)
From cozy comforts to sweet surprises — gift ideas that feel personal and special.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner — can you believe it? Whether you're shopping for your own mom, a special mother figure, or treating yourself (yes, you deserve it!), I’ve rounded up a few of my favourite gift ideas that are thoughtful, pretty, and a little indulgent — in the best way.
Here’s what I’m loving this year for Mother’s Day:
Something Sparkly
Padlock Heart Huggie Earrings by Jenny Bird
These sweet little huggies feature a heart-shaped padlock and a sleek gold or silver finish—romantic, easy to wear, and perfect for everyday gifting with a meaningful twist.
See other sparkly options here.
Something Everyday
Lizzie Knit Tank by Gentle Fawn
This tank is a great everyday look. I have it myself and love it. They bring this style back every year and it's a classic — never gets old. Click here or the link above to see it, or here for other great tops.
Something Practical (But Cute)
Quinn Card Wallet by Pixie Mood
Compact, stylish, and made with eco-conscious materials — I keep mine in my smaller bags for errands or quick coffee runs. A little lifesaver.
Something That Smells Amazing
Best Mom Ever Candle by Market Candle Company
This one smells like a hug in a jar — soft peach, calming lavender, and bright clementine all wrapped into one cozy, hand-poured candle. Made right here in Canada, because moms deserve nothing but the best. See this and other candles from Market Candle Company here.
Something Naturally Beautiful
Lovefresh Natural Perfume Oil
This perfume oil is soft, subtle, and made with essential oils and coconut oil — no synthetic anything. It feels like a tiny spa moment every time I roll it on.
And bonus — from May 1–10, when you spend $50 or more on Lovefresh, you’ll get a FREE full-size Lavender & Olive Oil Soap (worth $14)! It’s automatically added to your cart at checkout for online orders — no code needed.

For Her (or Your!) Spa Day
A little pampering goes a long way. A spa gift card or massage is always a win — and if you're local, Body Beautiful Day Spa is just around the corner from Lemonberry in St. Andrew’s Village Plaza.
But honestly? A spa day at home can feel just as dreamy. Light a candle, slather on a rich body scrub or body oil, and smooth on some everyday hand cream to bring that soft-skin feeling to life. Top it off with the Gold Mask Trio by HADAKA — it’s our go-to for that refreshed, glowy skin moment.
Whether it’s for her or totally for you (because why not?), a little self-care is always in style.
Something Creative
A cooking or art class is such a fun shared gift — or try Paint by Numbers from Mala. It’s run by a mother-daughter team in Kelowna, BC. Love supporting Canadian women-owned businesses!
Something Tasty (Because food = love)
If you're local, pop into La Jolie Cheese Shop — they’re right next door to us and have the most beautiful selection of artisanal cheeses. It’s such a lovely way to treat Mom (or yourself!) to something indulgent and special. You can even pick up a few extras and build a mini picnic at home.
Or make it a whole outing and take Mom to The Sweet Duchess for lunch — it’s tucked just behind Lemonberry and it’s one of those cozy spots where you’ll want to linger over coffee and dessert.
Of course, if staying in sounds more like your vibe, bake her favourite treat (or sneak one from your favourite local bakery), cook a meal she loves, or surprise her with breakfast in bed. However you do it, it’s the thought that makes it sweet.
Something Thoughtful
“I Love You” by Pamela Anderson
A heartfelt, veggie-forward cookbook inspired by her life on Vancouver Island. It’s beautifully written and packed with nourishing recipes — a great gift for mamas who love to cook.
Something Personal
- Write her a letter (seriously — it’ll mean more than anything).
- Or fill a jar with “Reasons Why I Love You.” It’s simple, sweet, and guaranteed to bring a tear to her eye.
And Don’t Forget About YOU
Buy yourself a little something this Mother’s Day. Even if it’s just a quiet coffee, a cozy robe, or a quick walk alone — you’ve earned it. We spend so much time caring for others, and this is your reminder: you deserve love, rest, and joy, too.
Let me know which gifts you’re loving — or if you’ve got a special Mother’s Day tradition! I’d love to hear.
