Mother’s Day is just around the corner! Let's celebrate the moms, grandmas, aunts, wives and all special women in our lives with gifts to make her day extra memorable.

Make her day extra special this year

Treat your loved one to breakfast in bed with all the trimmings - from freshly brewed coffee and baked goods to flowers and homemade gifts. It's all in the small details where an ordinary day can become an extra special one.

Because she's fabulous from head to toe

If her life's a runway, she’ll need the perfect dressing table to help her shine. A stylish mirror, a sleek drawer organizer, or a chic little box will keep her beauty essentials in check, making it easy to create a picture-perfect look at any moment. Help her stay organized and glamorous with these thoughtful touches for her vanity space.

She deserves the spa treatment

Pamper her with with little things that can help her relax and unwind this year. Create a serene space with fluffy towels, candles and even some chill tunes, so she can recharge and enjoy some much-needed me-time.

Gifts that are made with love

Sometimes the sweetest gifts are the ones that take a little time and effort. Make your own unique homemade present by baking a cake, painting some art, or growing a little plant to show her how much you care. It's not the price tag that makes a great gift - it's the thought behind it. 

The gift of endless options

Let Mom decide exactly what she wants this Mother's Day by gifting an IKEA gift card - so she can choose from a wide range of useful, stylish, eye-catching, and just plain fun products and accessories.

How to create a special and memorable day for mom?

  • First, let mom sleep in! Give mom a Mother’s Day gift the day before – a new pillow and soft bedding for a great night's sleep. And to go the extra mile, wash and dry it for her first, so she doesn’t have to!
  • Make breakfast and coffee in bed fuss-free and fun by setting everything on a tray table that can be carried straight from the kitchen to bed. Add playful details and a few flowers to bring a smile to Mom’s face. Give a new teapot and mug for Mom as a gift with the breakfast.
  • If it’s not breakfast-in-bed, prepare a Mother’s Day brunch for the family with moms' favorite foods. Arrange on a charcuterie platter and small treats in serving dishes to show you took the time! (Then do the dishes and clean up!)
  • Cozy together as a family at the end of the day. Toss some extra blankets and pillows on the couch, curl up together and read stories or watch a movie.

Pamper mom with self-care gifts that feel like a luxury

  • Slippers and a robe for lazy weekend mornings.
  • Pretty containers for bath salts, bath balms and soaps.
  • A cart for the bathroom with towels, bath essentials and a space for her book and water or a glass of wine. 
  • A wireless speaker near the bathroom for music or podcasts – a great indulgence to unwind and escape.
  • Clean-burning candles with a luxurious scent.
  • Engage all the senses by adding fresh-cut eucalypts or lavender to a vase in the bathroom to add to the spa-like experience.
  • Then give mom some much-needed me time to enjoy all of the above!

Show mom you care: simple yet meaningful Mother's Day gift ideas

  • Clean the house for mom!
  • Surprise her with something small but helpful! Maybe it’s a charger beside her bed, a new soap pump or a travel mug. Something small but thoughtful to show you care.
  • Bring mom a photo of you together in a beautiful frame.
  • Bring mom some special treats from the bakery and arrange on a cake stand or pick flowers from the garden and make an arrangement together or bring her flowers. Have a new vase for her as a surprise.

In Canada, Mother’s Day is a celebration of love and appreciation of mom. While some may receive flowers and a day of pampering, others enjoy those small special moments spent at home with breakfast in bed, taking a warm bath, or spending time together as a family.

At the end of the day, it's all about creating a special day for mom. This includes a combination of all the above: A thoughtful gift, considerate actions, some me-time, and some meaningful and relaxing time together as a family. Consider this mix when planning her day.

No matter how you choose to celebrate at home, IKEA has what you need to make it a memorable Mother’s Day.
