To shop the edit, check out our list of the best Mother's Day gift ideas in 2025 below. The City Essentials Small Shoulder Bag is made from water-repellent fabric, making it a practical choice for unpredictable weather, plus it has an adjustable shoulder strap, allowing you to wear it snug under the arm or slung as a crossbody. The three-litre capacity may look small, but reviewers say it fits your phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, and more — all without bulking up your outfit. Canadian since 1972, this Watier lip oil is as gorgeous as it is hydrating. It's infused with hyaluronic acid and tsubaki oil to hydrate, plump and smooth your pout. Shop it in five pretty shades. Dean Davidson jewelry is designed in Toronto, Ontario. These pretty handcrafted huggies are made using high-quality brass and plated in gold or palladium. They feature hand-set pavé gemstones for a little extra glam. This wonderfully decadent maple syrup and maple butter set comes from the Lower Laurentians in Quebec, a region famous for the distinct character, colour and flavour profile of its maple products. This cinch-waist jacket is "flattering on everyone," according to one lululemon reviewer. It's the "perfect jacket." Shop it in two colours for spring 2025. Province Apothecary uses organic ingredients sourced from each of the Canadian provinces. This reusable sheet mask set helps repair barrier function, deeply hydrates and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This luxuriously plush robe is made from 100 per cent certified Egyptian cotton terry. It's sustainably made (score!) and comes in four colours. How pretty is this? Mejuri's Organic Dôme Liquid Letter Pendant has a natural, organic-feeling design and features a dazzling white sapphire. Toronto makeup brand 19/99 Beauty is cruelty-free, clean and vegan. This three-piece kit includes some of the brand's most-wanted products, including the Lash Tint Mascara, High-Shine Gloss and a universal neutral lip pencil in Neutra. This quarter-zip sweater is made from organic cotton and recycled materials and is so, so, so cozy. Shop it in eight colours. A fan-favourite from Paume, a female-founded, Canadian brand, this overnight hand and foot mask is formulated with shea butter, glycerin, panthenol, and squalane to lock in moisture, soften, and condition overnight. How sleek are these pilot-inspired frames? If you're willing to spend some cash this Mother's Day, these titanium frames are a solid pick. A unique gift idea for the mom who has everything, this padlock heart charm is designed to go on your bag, but you can also attach it to a belt, a jacket or wherever else you want a little something-something. Shop it in gold and silver. This bestselling two-piece set from Canadian brand Skinfix (it's headquartered in Halifax, Nova Scotia!) is a must-have among skincare lovers. It includes a new gentle, pH-balanced face wash and a lightweight gel cream. A pan for the mom who loves to cook, Kilne's (a Canadian company!) The Everything Pan is made in Italy and comes with a three-year warranty. The award-winning Everything Pan is the perfect non-stick cooking tool and is oven-safe up to 400°C/750°F (with the lid 250°C/480°F). This three-step curl system (it's a Canadian brand, by the way!) is a dream come true for curly hair types 3A, 3B and 3C. The products are infused with shea butter and moringa oil and help repair, strengthen and moisturize your strands while reducing breakage. Everyone needs a baseball cap in the summer, especially a cap as cute (and patriotic!) as this. The 100 per cent cotton twill brushed comes in seven colours. The cropped Canada Goose Kaslo jacket is fully packable into the left jacket pocket, making it perfect for travel. It's temperature rated between 5°C and -5°C and comes in three colours (I have my eye on the magenta colour, though).

Based out of Montreal, all Lambert bags are made from the highest quality vegan leather. The brand has it all: backpacks, crossbody bags, card holders and more, so you are sure to find something that matches your style.
