Gifts for Mom: What to Get Her for Mother's Day 2021
Let me address the elephant in the room. COVID-19 has turned our entire world (no exaggeration) upside down and that includes how we celebrate annual holidays that we know and love. I mean, can you believe how quickly the month of April has come and gone? Before we know it, Mother’s Day will be upon us, and that is why I’m providing you with some gift ideas a few weeks in advance. Here is your reminder/wake-up call/ whatever you need right now to kick-start your shopping and get your gifts in time to celebrate the special women in your life.

The greatest gifts to give (IMO at least) are experiences and quality time. Taking the time to carve out a portion of your day that is specifically dedicated to being with her is the perfect way to show the leading ladies in your life that they matter. Crafts and activities are awesome ways to spend this quality time. Create fun art projects, do a workout together, even build a puzzle or play a board game; any such activity will help you share a laugh and create memories that will last a lifetime. Give her the gift of a subscription to The Idle Free Box and provide months’ worth of fun, or just one box for the opportunity to discover new hobbies and interests alike! To top it all off, the box also includes resources such as guided meditations, a 15-minute clarity session with a success coach, and a ton of useful materials from the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Give her the gift of hydration with the HidrateSpark STEEL, and she’ll never forget to drink water again. I’m not kidding, I’ve been using my HidrateSpark STEEL for a few months now and I’m currently on a 25-day success streak! The bottle comes fully equipped with an LED smart sensor that reminds you to drink water and tracks your intake throughout the day. It syncs via Bluetooth and connects with tons of fitness apps like Apple Health and Fitbit. She’ll love the vacuum insulation that keeps water cool for up to 24 hours, and the added bonus of lots of customization: pick the lid, the size, and even the colour of the LED lights. Drinking water has never been so fun.

For the fashion-forward lady in your life, opt for a couple accessories or a pair of shoes from ALDO. The great thing about accessories is that you rarely need to know their size. That and they tend to be more affordable. A pair of sunglasses or a stylish handbag are a fabulous and foolproof gift for Mother’s Day 2021. Cater to her style with some trendy platform sneakers, or a classic pair of gold plated hoop earrings. Whoever she is, she’ll be rocking your gift well into spring and summer this year.

Haircare inspired by skincare? Sign me up! Schwarzkopf Professional recently came out with an entire series of products that utilize well-known skincare ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, and I never knew I needed them until they came into existence. With such a genius concept and so many products to choose from, the BC Bonacure brand will deliver her beautiful and healthy-looking salon-quality results at home. From Keratine to Peptides and everything in between, there is a line of products perfect for all hair types and they’re so good, you may even need to pick up a few options for yourself while you’re at it!

And on the topic of skincare. Why not opt for one of my most frequently given gifts: sheet masks! They’re awesome to mix and match, go perfectly in a care package or gift set, and help address a variety of different skin concerns. Choose from masks that moisturize and hydrate, tone and clarify, or fight visible signs of aging, puffiness, and hyperpigmentation. Pack a major skincare punch with any of the masks from Pacifica, but more importantly, give her skin the full hydration treatment with the Disobey Time Rose & Peptide Facial Mask and the Vegan Collagen Hydro-Treatment for Undereyes & Smile Lines. Both of which I am giving away to one lucky Canadian reader.
