Local Love Mother's Day Gift Guide
If you caught me on Global Television with Chantal Wagner this morning—hi and thank you!—you already got a sneak peek at some of my favourite local Mother's Day gift ideas this year. If not, no prob, I've popped the link at the bottom! In the meantime, here's a roundup of the pretties, the tasties, and the treasures I shared, all Canadian. All available locally.
Let’s start with Pinetree Innovations, a local gem doing the work for you when it comes to unique, thoughtful gifts.
SK Bunnyhug – Printed in-house and giving that cozy Saskatchewan energy. It’s like a hug, but wearable.
Sweet Wheat Bakeshop cookies – This local baker has not one but two Food Network wins under her belt.
Nana tea towel - Another in-house design!
Grown + Gathered Tea – Sourced right here in Saskatchewan. Lovely to sip, even better when paired with said cookies.
Deb’s Dips dill dip mix – For the snack queen moms.
Pickle and Myrrh caramels – I’m hearing whispers that these might be life-changing.
Bambu earrings – Handmade here in Saskatoon and lightweight enough that Mom can rock them all day. Edgy but minimal.
Uptown Sox Super Mom socks – Cute n cozy.
Soap So Co soap – Spa vibes in a stripey little bar.
The Bomb Bar bath bomb – Pop one of these in the tub and cue the do not disturb sign.
Hand potted mosquito coil holder - The only thing pretty about mosquito season.
Pinetree also carries frames, which brings me to my next idea…
A Family Photo Session.
Last year, we did ours with Memories by Mandy and I treasure the photos every day. Seriously. A photo session gift card makes for a beautiful gift for Mom now and everyone forever.
Midwest Laser aka, my personal happy place.
Want to truly pamper Mom? Gift her a Jet Peel facial. It’s hydrating, deep-cleaning, great for fine lines, and gentle enough for all skin types. Plus, it’s just so dang relaxing. Moms deserve more quiet time with warm blankets and glowing skin. Midwest has a Jet Peel event coming up May 13, so that’s good timing.
Blossoms.
If you’ve been, you know. If you haven’t… go. It's one of the most beautiful flower shops I’ve ever seen and of course, their cut arrangements are always stunning. But they also do incredible flowering plants and terrariums that are truly show-stopping. A fresh twist on the classic flower gift.
Wine from Saskatoon Co-op.
Saskatoon Co-op is 100% locally owned and has a sommelier curated selection of Canadian wines like…
Bench Red – Perfect for grilling season.
Closson Chase Chardonnay – Smooth, easy-drinking, and perfect on a patio.
Lola Sparkling Rosé – It’s pink, it’s bubbly, it’s happiness in a bottle. And look at that floral label.
And finally, the ultimate gift: an experience.
Sarah McLachlan is coming to SaskTel Centre on October 21. If your mom was a '90s girlie or just appreciates a good heartstring-tug, this is a must.
That’s the roundup! Whether your mom’s a spa gal, a snack enthusiast, a plant whisperer, or a live music lover, there’s something local and lovely for her this year. What are you gifting the moms in your life?
