The Perfect Gifts for Mother's Day 2022
Somehow it’s already one week until May, and Mother’s Day is just a couple of weeks away. Things have begun to normalize a bit here in Toronto, and I have had the amazing opportunity to return to in-person press and media previews. If you have yet to see some of my coverage of these events, well, why aren’t you following me on Instagram? But what does this mean for you? It means that I have even more exciting products and brands to share with you, and my Mother’s Day gift recommendations are no exception! So many gifts for mom, so little time!
BEAUTY
Juice Beauty PREBIOTIX Freshly Squeezed Glow, 20% Vitamin C Serum
If you follow the blog, you’ll know that I am no stranger to Vitamin C. This powerhouse ingredient is popping up in everything, and for good reason. Vitamin C is full of antioxidants and other healing properties, which, of course, makes gifting mom the Juice Beauty Prebiotix™ Freshly Squeezed Glow Serum a no-brainer.
Provide her with a smooth complexion and the ultimate hydration for a balanced, healthy look that the special woman in your life will absolutely love. And, not to mention, this serum boasts Certified Organic Ingredients and a sustainable recyclable glass bottle. Good for her skin, and for the planet!
Continuing on the serum train, because obviously, we love skincare on The Canadian Creative Blog; give her the gift of glow with Keys Soulcare Let Me Glow Illuminating Priming Serum with Niacinamide. Everything about this product is amazing. The packaging is gorgeous, with affirmations written on the side of each bottle. The brand ambassador is everything, because who doesn’t love Alicia Keys? But really, it’s all about the glow that radiates from your skin when you use this serum!
Perfect for use under make-up or alone and fresh-faced, it’s chock-full of brightening Niacinamide and hydrating Rose Water to bring out her inner glow. Buy it for Mom for Mother’s Day… and maybe a second one for you to keep.
HOME GOODS
I discovered this gift at the One of a Kind Spring Show a few weeks ago. If the special lady in your life has more of a green thumb, the combo of a heartfelt greeting card and a Grow Your Card Kit from The Good Card is the perfect present.
The kits come in three beautiful pastel colours, and contain everything she needs to grow your Mother’s Day card at home (except the card, of course)! I think founder Ashley puts it perfectly on the product page, “These planters are 3D printed using plant-based materials from fermented organic matter such as sugarcane and corn starch. The planters are biodegradable and tough enough to last a lifetime - just not thousands.”
I think many of us picked up puzzles during the many.. many lockdowns we faced over the last 2 years. We even found one in the shape of a pizza! So, naturally, a spectacular Enigma Art puzzle by one of my all-time favourite artists, Sabina Fenn, is going to be on this list.
Not only is this puzzle stylish enough to frame once your special lady is complete, but all of Enigma Art’s puzzles are also designed by talented female artists from around the world! Building a community of like-minded women who love art and puzzles? Sign me up!
Since spring has sprung (for the most part) in Toronto, it’s surely hiking season, which means you should ensure Mom is well-equipped with these breathable Canvas Desert Boots from Hunter. They come in three fashion-forward colours and are specially designed to be worn in the warmer months!
I love these boots for more than just their looks, however. They are also water-resistant, certified vegan, and have a multi-directional tread for the ultimate traction and mud release. She’ll look extra stylish and feel extra comfy as you trek through these three breathtaking Bruce Trail hikes.
Finally, the nostalgia that you’re all here for. Give the lovely lady in your life the gift of comfortable confidence in the Smash + Tess x Barbie® Live Big Hoodie Romper in midnight black.
We love Smash + Tess on the blog for their unadulterated body inclusivity, but now we love them extra for collaborating with a childhood fave! Deck her (and yourself) out in Barbie® pink with literally any of the items in this collection, but especially the hooded romper. Made with sustainable fabric that puts comfort and the planet first, this piece showcases the Barbie® logo in a sweet and subtle way.
What are you giving the special ladies in your life on Mother’s Day? Whether chosen or by blood, family is extra important these days, so I’m sure it is absolutely the thought that counts!
