“Being a mother is the hardest job on Earth.”

—Oprah Winfrey

Moms do so much for us, and this coming Sunday we have the chance to show our appreciation. We’ve got less than a week to go, so it’s time to get that perfect present. Here are some great last-minute gift ideas guaranteed to put a smile on Mom’s face.

Mom Deserves to be Pampered

After a long day at work and with the kids, mom needs a little me-time. However, it’s not always easy for this busy lady to fit in hours at the spa. So, why not bring the spa to her? We’ve got some quick, yet relaxing facial masks, as well as everything she could want for her feet. Our personal pedicure system will get her tender tootsies beach-ready, and our fun nail colours will make her toes look great.

Family Matters Most

Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones with the most personal touches. It’s time to go through those family photos and select some Mom will love. Also, if you have vintage pics, now may be a great time to restore them and breathe new life into old memories. Present these special pictures in a beautiful frame, and you’re good to go.

A-Tisket, A-Tasket, Make Mom a Basket

If you’re feeling creative this Mother’s Day, why not put together a beverage basket for Mom? Pick up some of her favourite tea or coffee and pair it with this mug.

Also, add in a water bottle that she can take with her to the gym or keep on her desk at work. And, if you’re feeling really creative, make some of these cute fabric coasters, to give your basket that extra special something.

The Greenest Mother’s Day Gift

Even if Mom lives in an apartment or a condo, she can definitely begin wielding her green thumb. Why not start her off with an easy gardening kit? Or, check out our earlier post about container gardening, and pick her up all the supplies she needs to grow herbs, vegetables, fruit, and flowers.

It’s Time to Party!

Sunday is Mom’s special day and the best present of all might just be to throw her a party. We have all the party supplies you might need, including these silver balloons, that spell out the name of the guest of honour: M-O-M!
