This mother’s day, buy mom something she’ll love. What does mom really want for Mother’s Day?

Mom might appreciate some time alone to pamper herself, such as a day getaway at Ste. Anne’s Spa. She’d also like to be off-duty for the day from her regular routine. But she also would love to spend time with the family doing something fun together. She also won’t turn down a thoughtful gift; according to a recent survey by Amazon Canada, 71% of Canadian moms want to receive something that is personal and picked just for them.

Here are some Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Mom She’ll Love:

Tom Ford Sunglasses

Cat eye sunglasses will always be in style; it’s a classic shape you’ll be sure to wear for years to come. I love Tom Ford’s FT0555 sunnies with black frame and brown lenses. All the sunglasses on the SmartBuyGlasses website are 100% authentic with original packaging and certificates and comes with a two-year warranty.  $230 at SmartBuyGlasses.ca.

Dune Jewelry Bracelet

When I learned that Dune Jewelry uses real sand or elements when creating jewelry pieces, I thought, what a perfect gift idea for mom who loves to travel!  Dune Jewelry is The Original Beach Sand Jewelry Company,® bringing you Experiential Jewelry® from around the world. They use sand and other elements from your favorite beach, trail, ballpark, mountaintop, golf course and more to create a unique line of collectable jewelry with meaning that captures your favorite memories.

I love the Flip Flop Family Bangle which includes a Mom, Dad and Child Charm. Fill Mom and Dad flops with sand or natural elements from your favorite destinations and adventures, then add sterling silver child charms to represent your family. The charms are made with .925 sterling silver, and the Mom and Dad charm also have 18k gold vermeil.

You can either send the sand you’d like used in your jewelry, or select sand in their own database from all over the world. Since Santorini, Greece is my favourite island, I chose sand from Nea Kameni and Red Beach in my bracelet. $225 at Dune Jewelry.
