They have everything from elegant gems to beautiful bangles and luxurious rings. You can find any piece of jewelry that’s missing from mom’s jewelry box right here.

Is your mom a bit senti? Give her a gift that tells a story from Rosena Sammi Jewelry. Rosena Sammi Jewelry is a global-chic yet attainable luxury brand defined by glamorous Indian design elements melded into a modern aesthetic, embodying the passion and spirit of its founder, Rosena Sammi.

Sammi’s unique collections — like Who’s Sari Now, where all products are made from upcycled saris and support girls rescued from the Red Light District in India — are crafted with quality. Each product has its own personality.

Each collection represents vivid colour and brings out the culture of each piece. Check out their Mother’s Day Edit Collection for fabulous, personal pieces.

Spoil the mom in your life with an exquisite pearl piece from the Caroline Neron‘s SS17 collection. Mounted on brass chains plated in silver, gold and rose gold, these elegant pieces are most often adorned with Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls.

Glamorous with a bohemian twist and ranging from chokers to rings to bracelets, these affordable baubles make the quintessential gift for any woman.

Cooking Some Love 

For endless cooking possibilities, this is the gift for the mom who’s always in the kitchen! The TEFAL 45 in 1 Multicooker is the superhero of all cookware.

Thanks to its 45 functions, you can bake, make soups, steam, stew, brown and fry — all in one appliance. Retailing at $299.99 CAD, the 45-in-1 features a patented spherical aluminium bowl with five layers that will ensure optimum cooking results.

A carrying handle makes the 45-in-1 Multicooker easy to move around your kitchen. The bowl, steam basket, utensils, measuring cup and inner lid are all removable and dishwasher safe, which ensures washing up is a breeze.

This must-have device’s large 5L capacity will allow your mom to cook butter chicken and biryani for the entire family! It’s available on TEFAL’s website, or you can purchase it at Canadian Tire.

Does your mom bake the best desserts and pastries? Make her life simpler by gifting her this unique flour shaking-rolling pin, available at Uncommon Goods.

This is not your grandmother’s rolling pin.  The hollow ceramic design incorporates a flour shaker and ruler to make rolling out dough quick and simple. Simply remove the rubber seal at the end of the pin, fill with flour, and shake out a little from the other end whenever flour dusting is required. Measure the diameter of rolled dough and pastries using the ruler for perfect results every time.  I guess you could say it’s a gift for you and mom!
