5 Thoughtful Mother’s Day Gifts to Make Mom’s Day in 2025

If your mom’s anything like mine, she’ll say all she wants for Mother’s Day is to see her kids happy. Those kind words may have saved my bank account a time or two, but they’re a terrible excuse for gift ideas—and exactly why she deserves something extra special this year.

1. When in Rome… or at Home

 If you can’t whisk your mom away on an Italian summer getaway, bring Italy to her. The Italian Gift Box Stemmed Glassware Set ($365) from R+D.LAB is handmade just outside Milan and comes in citrine green, clear, fog grey and sand. Her favourite wine has never looked fancier. obakki.com

2. Forget the Flowers—Bring the Vase

While flowers are a thoughtful gift, switch it up this year. Michelle Grimm’s clay Wood Fired Vase 261 ($150) from Provide is earthy, stylish and made in Vancouver. Each piece is often left unglazed, letting smoke and ash add colour and texture—so no two are the same. providehome.com

3. Sip in Style

MacKenzie-Childs’ Flower Market Tea Kettle (Starting at $229.95) from Williams-Sonoma  makes a vibrant statement on your mom’s stovetop. With its bright floral pattern, brass accents and glass knob, this kettle elevates her 2 p.m. cuppa to Afternoon Tea. Pair it with Fortnum & Mason’s Classic World Tea Bags (set of 60, $72.95) and you just might be the favourite child this year. williams-sonoma.ca

4. The Gift of Sleep

It’s time to repay our moms for all the sleepless nights we caused. Saje’s Sleep Well Restful Sleep Kit ($46) features favourites from their best-selling slumber line — the Goodnight Mist, Sleep Well Body Butter and Sleep Well Remedy roll-on. Give her the rest she deserves. saje.ca

5. Cooler Than the Average Tote

Stylish yet practical is a mom’s way of life. B&P Co.’s Riviera White Cooler Tote ($250) captures both with a waterproof vinyl lining, printed exterior and leather handles. She’ll be the coolest mom on the beach. thecrossdesign.com
