Mother’s Day Gift Guide Calgary
You can’t put a price on a mother’s love, but you can show her you love her at any price point. Herewith, Vitamin Daily Calgary's top 5 prezzies (from $25 to a splurge) to make Mom feel posh this Mother’s Day:
From former Prairie girl turned New York spa queen Marcia Kilgore’s line Bliss, the Citrus that Never Sleeps set includes travel-sized picks from the lemony bath and body line all tucked into a reusable cosmetics bag. $26 at Quorra Apothecary, www.quorra.ca
For the foodie mom who appreciates fromage, the fantastic four by Janice Beaton Fine Cheese ($50) includes a choice of cow’s milk, sheep, goat, blue, and a “bloomy rind” (Brie-style cheese) with a condiment, all conveniently packaged in a burlap bag. $50, www.jbfinecheese.com
If you’ve got a sentimental heart when it comes to mom, the Jessie Turner Open Heart jewellery collection is a sure way to initiate some waterworks. $75 at Influx Gallery, www.influxgallery.com
Tulips always go over well but this year, make the gift last and throw in a hand-blown vase by former Calgarian Robert Held, sure become a family heirloom. $100 at Rubaiyat Gallery, www.rubaiyatgallery.com
And because your mom was in labour for what felt like decades, not to mention all those teenage mood swings she endured, nothing says thank-you like the cashmere blend Kaille cardigan by Paul Hardy. $695 at Paul Hardy Atelier, paulhardydesign.com
