You’ve been so busy and have totally blanked that this Sunday is Mother’s Day! We get it, it happens. Here are a few gift ideas that will make it seem like you’ve been planning mom’s special day for weeks.
Read on for our no-fail last-minute Mother’s Day gifts:
Spa Day Gift Certificate
This is perfect because you don’t actually need to go to the spa on Mother’s Day. The gift certificate can be used at a later date when you both have a clear calendar! Our spa of choice? Shangri-La’s Miraj Hammam Spa by Caudalie Paris in Toronto is the ultimate place to pamper mom. You can indulge in their traditional Hammam and Gommage treatments while your imagination takes you to another world. Their steam and body exfoliation followed by massage is part of the authentic traditions of the Middle East.
Personalized Gifts
Black’s has many of options for personalized gifts. But, if you are on a time crunch, Black’s has same day printing. Pick some great vintage family shots and put together a gallery wall at mom’s house while she’s out. She’ll come home and be so surprised and have absolutely no idea that you put it together in just one day! Here is a perfect example (p.s. you’ll definitely cry happy tears watching this):
Get Fit Together
Sign you and mom up for a relaxing yoga class, or if mom is a tank, a high-intensity workout. Right now Nike is offering free classes in Toronto. Just visit www.Nike.com/Toronto to reserve spots in the Nike Running Club or a Nike Training Club class for you and mom to do together!
New Shoes and/or a Bag
Who wouldn’t want this on Mother’s Day? From April 28 to May 11 Nine West customers can purchase a pair of shoes from their Spring 2015 collection (minimum spend $195) and receive a free handbag (valued up to $130) to gift to Mom! You can give both to mom, or be selfish and keep one for yourself. Either way, this is a deal of a century.
Make a Donation
World Vision’s Healthy Mom and Baby Package ($100) helps to protect a pregnant mom and ensure a safe delivery of her baby. Your donation helps provide the expecting mom with prenatal vitamins, delivery kits, workshops on mothering skills and more. The Canadian government matches your donation 2X to provide more value.
Take a Cooking Class Together
Mom might have mad skills in the kitchen, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t up to learn something new! Plus, sometimes all mom wants is a little quality time with her #1 girl, you! This is a great way to do just that (and who doesn’t love food?).
