Mother’s day is just around the corner! May 8th, 2016 is the day! A day to honour and celebrate the unconditional love, hard work and patience of all those beautiful ladies that gave us life. My mom means the world to me, even then, mother’s day has a tendency to creep up on me. So this year I decided to start my search early and let you in on some awesome gift ideas I found.
I searched the deep concaves of the internet for non-generic, special gifts that are guaranteed to bring a smile to her face. These are my personal suggestions:
For the one that loves to cook:
Kitchen Aid Mixer- these are every baker’s dream and they come many different colours! 
Japanese Sharpening Stone- nothing worse than knives that won’t cut! This tool is effective and sophisticated.
Olive Oil subscription- It sounds strange but it’s actually pretty fantastic. This organization lets you adopt an olive tree in exchange for a year’s worth of olive oil. It’s fun, unique and everyone loves olive oil!
Make her breakfast!
For the one that’s always active:
A S’well Water bottle- The mother of all water bottles, keeps your drinks warm or cold for hours! Plus they’re cute and sleek.
A Fitbit!- These are super trendy and great to keep track of your activity levels, including steps taken, calorie burned, heart rate, etc.
Go on a hike together!
You can never go wrong with:
A spa day- massage, pedicures, facials, you name it, your mom deserves it.
Flowers- but not just any flowers, luxury roses from Landeau.
Jewellery - go local with Vancouver designer Poppy Finch they have a wide variety of delicate and timeless pieces that your mom is sure to love!
I hope this helps! And make sure to shower your mother with all the affection and attejtion in the world not just on May 8th, but every day.
Love,
Alyssa
