Something special for mom

With Mother's Day right around the corner, it's time to start thinking about a special gift for a special person. While a bouquet, spa session or dinner reservation are all wonderful options, we've rounded up some additional gift ideas that are guaranteed to wow mom on May 12. Aleesha Harris shares five great gifts for Mother's Day, from a fine jewelry find to a luxe self-care selection.

LITTLE PINK DRESS

While she likely already has a go-to black dress in her closet, mom may be missing a pop-of-pink piece like this Long-sleeve Tencel Dress with Shirt Collar from Reitmans. The Canadian brand recently collaborated with Canadian influencer (and mom of four) Sarah Nicole Landry of The Birds Papaya to create a capsule collection full of essential summer pieces that are effortless and size-inclusive.

BLING RING

This ring is giving chic Wonder Woman vibes, which feels like a perfect fit for the wonder mom in your life. A recent style addition to the expanded Stax Collection from American jewelry brand David Yurman, this Stax Zig Zag Three Row Ring features mixed metal tones thanks to sterling silver and 18-karat yellow gold, along with a little sparkle thanks to pavé-set diamonds. Available in ring sizes 4.5 to 9.

IN THE BAG

A straw bag is a spring and summer staple. Ensure mom is stepping out with the it accessory with this Coach straw style. Crafted from durable straw materials that take more than seven hours to make, according to the brand, the lightweight, leather-handled handbag has enough space to carry all the day's essentials — including a 13-inch laptop.

TECH TIME

The ultimate gift for the busy mom on the go, the new Kobo Libra Color brings books to life with a new, full-colour display. The device goes beyond e-reader to become a journal, planner notebook and more thanks to the compatibility with the Kobo Stylus 2 pen. Plus, the colour display means she can make notes or highlight passages while still having a glare-free, easy on the eyes interface.

CHIC SOAP

A luxe self-care item is always a good gift idea. From the French luxury brand Chanel, this limited-edition soap set features four, dice-shaped hand and body soaps, each one scented like the brand's bestselling Chance eau Fraiche fragrance. The sparkling floral notes are sure to add a dose of delight to mom's daily cleansing ritual.
