You’ve got T-minus two days until Mother’s Day. Freaking out about what to get her? You’re not the only one. Besides the obvious bouquet of flowers, we’ve rounded up a list of gifts to grab in Toronto to suit every budget, big or small (because if anyone deserves a $3,500 bracelet, it’s mom).
Cool cards (pictured above)
Moms are super humans, and they need to be reminded of this. Local fashion illustrator Eighty Seventh ST. has created the perfect card to do so:

Tea towels
Whether she’s a whiz in the kitchen, or not so much, every mom will love these beautiful limited edition tea towels. The designs, by Canadian textile designers Virginia Johnson and Bev Hisey, will look great hanging on the stove or framed on a wall.

Perfume
Can’t afford to surprise her with that much-needed tropical getaway? Get her the next best thing in the form of Marc Jacobs perfume. His new splash collection has three scents to choose from – rain, kumquat and hibiscus – making it nearly impossible to find a version that won’t suit.

Shades
Here’s a gift for glam mama. Keep her from squinting this summer in these ultra-cool cat-eye shades that simply scream “chicest mama on the block!”

Whoa now big spender! If you’re gonna drop the loot, we say do it on this stunning diamond cuff bracelet by Meredith Marks. But be quick, her trunk show at Holt Renfrew packs up this Sunday.
