There is no doubt that our lives have changed drastically during the last 7 weeks with COVID-19 as we've had to master social distancing, Zoom video calls, FaceTime, drive-by celebrations and incorporate masks into our daily routines to help stop the spread and flatten the curve. During these last few weeks, and amidst all these restrictions, we did not stop showing love to our loved ones from afar and with creative gestures. With Mother's Day just around the corner, we wanted to compile a gift guide to help guide you through this very different time. While we can't take our moms out for a classic brunch this year, there are certainly many options still available to ensure we show our love to our biggest fans - our moms.
1. Handcrafted Gifts
Bei Momenti Online Gift Shop
With the entire events & hospitality industry coming to a halt it provided an opportunity to regroup and revisit forgotten hobbies and creative avenues. Bei Momenti Events is proud to present its first collection of handcrafted soaps called the "Staple" collection made of three soaps: Lavender & Honey, Wild Rose and Coffee & Coconut. These soaps are made with goats milk and combine different scents, oils and elements and can be bought as a bundle or individually. Orders made within the GTA by Thursday May 7th will be delivered (completely contactless) when curb side pick up option is selected upon checkout. You can shop the Staple collection here.
Young & Blur
If you're looking for jewellery items that are dainty and casual, look no further than Young & Blur which handpicks jewellery from Greece and also handcrafts jewellery in Toronto. We are swooning over the "mama"necklaces and their soy-wax candles. Visit www.youngandblur.com to see their entire collection or contact them directly on Instagram to arrange your order.
2. Some Pampering at Home
The Spa Truck, aside from operating mobile spa services (temporarily closed) has also curated a Manicure Homecare Kit for your mothers to create a spa experience of their own. With all nail salons closed there is no doubt that our hands and cuticles could use some attention right about now.You can reach out directly to this fempreneur on IG to get your kit by clicking the image below.
3. Sweets & Floral Combo
If there's a killer combination to any celebration, especially Mother's Day, it's delicious treats and beautiful flowers and we know exactly where you can go for a one-stop shop! Staij & Co. and Flower Treasures have partnered to bring you this unbeatable combo online where you can shop for both your florals and sweets. While availability for Mother's Day (May 10th) delivery is sold out, they are still taking orders for Friday or Saturday if you don't mind sending your love a bit early. Visit the one-stop-shop here.
4. High Tea In A Box
We absolutely love this idea! Bring the par-tea to you mother with this luxurious event in a box package by Design Dream Events. You can select from an array of pre-designed themes and menus to make Mother's Day memorable at home. Instructions, tableware, florals and delicious food is brought right to your door and picked up the next day to allow you to make new memories with the family. You can view the package in details by clicking the image below.
There are many more ideas we could recommend but, these have been our favourites that we've been collecting for the last 2 weeks. We hope this guide has been given you some ideas on how you can celebrate from afar this Mother's Day and if you're feeling a bit lucky, feel free to enter our Mother's Day giveaway. We will be announcing our winner this Friday May 8th at 5:30PM EST.
