I can’t believe Mother’s Day is this weekend!!! To say that the past few months have been hectic for me would be an understatement (even more hectic than your usual pandemic craziness). Between getting ready for the new baby and recovering from a broken ankle, Mother’s Day has totally snuck up on me! This year, I’ll be getting the best Mother’s Day gift of all, a new baby boy!!! I am so excited to welcome this new little guy into our family and can’t wait for all of you to meet him.

There’s nothing I love more than surprising my loved ones with a thoughtful gift, especially all the strong women in my life, so I thought I’d share some of my best gift ideas for Mother’s Day! And during these crazy times, it’s become more clear than ever that sometimes the most important things are time spent together and self-care. That’s why I’ve added some non-material gift ideas to the list too. Make sure you read until the very end where I’ll be announcing a special giveaway for one lucky mama!

Sentimental Sweetie

I’m pretty sure every mom fits into this category — what mom doesn’t love getting a thoughtful gift from their favourite person!? I’ve completely fallen in love with Tiny Zen Memory necklaces and their sentimentality. My grandfather just passed away and I thought it would be so special to have a custom handwritten necklace made for my mom in his handwriting with “Love Dad” to keep his memory alive. Jewellery has so much power and meaning, I love that it’s a gift that is kept forever and always carries a memory. This gorgeous ring by Paris Jewellers with citrine and grey moonstone is stunning. It’s made of 10kt gold so it will never tarnish, and it symbolizes resilience — hello mamas!!

I also love the idea of creating a custom photo album for my mom with photos of our family and Pierce. Something for her to remember these special years by!! Chatbooks has an amazing selection with SO many options to choose from which are super easy to put together. Lucky for you guys, they’re running a special mother’s day promo where you can get 15% off any standard book with the code LUVMOM15! 

 

Mom-trepreneur

We all know her: the mom-on-the-go. She’s always got an upcoming zoom call and she juggles it all while still making time for her kids, the fam, and taking care of everybody around her. She’s a boss babe, a mom-trepreneur, and deserves to be treated this Mother’s Day.

I don’t ever leave the house without my Hydro Flask water bottle. Staying hydrated is key to staying sane when you’re busy, and this is the Cadillac of mom-proof water bottles if you ask me. Next up is a gift card to Fresh in Your Fridge: a local meal service run by the amazing Erika! The last thing a mom wants to do after a long day of work is jump into the kitchen, so Fresh in Your Fridge prepares and delivers your meals for you — bliss! And finally a little glam for those IRL meetings: I love this vegan leather convertible backpack/bag from the awesome Canadian company Lambert.

Better Together

And because sometimes spending a little time together is the best gift you can give, here are some fun ideas to spend time with mom or your favourite mother figure. I love the idea of spending a day picking out seedlings and plants and starting a garden together! This is something you can watch grow and nurture together over the whole season, making it a great excuse to hang out time and time again. For the active mom in your life, set up an outdoor yoga class and commit to doing classes together online! This is a three-for-one — getting outside, moving your body, and spending time together. Finally, send a weekly calendar invite for a tea or coffee date, the commitment to carving out time together alone is a beautiful thing!

 

Homebody Mama

She loves to curl up on the couch and she’s quite the expert at it. She’d always rather host a dinner than make a reso, and she’s watched every Netflix doc on Lady Di. 

Saje just launched a new limited-edition essential oil diffuser in this soft, earthy rose. I love how it’s such a nice object to have on display in addition to being a must-have for relaxing at home. No homebody gift guide would feel complete without a super-soft robe (this one from Eberjey is amazing) or a pair of fuzzy slippers. And finally, for the dinners she can’t wait to host (at home of course), these gorgeous two-toned serving spoons from Canadian company Fable. Use the code LANGSTONNATALIE10OFF for 10% off your order!

Beauty Buff

As a beauty buff myself, I always love when my favourite ladies share their skincare secrets and favourite products. I honestly feel like I could talk about it for hours! It’s so important to nourish your skin with natural, whole ingredients, and most of all — to feel good in your beautiful skin! Some of my absolute favourites right now are: the Sulwhasoo Bloomstay Serum which is perfect for dehydrated skin after the winter months, the SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mask — a staple in my weekly routine for bouncy skin, and ANYTHING from Nude by Nature! Nude by Nature is made with 100% natural ingredients and all their makeup has such a subtle, glowy finish.

 

And drumroll please… as promised….
