With Mother’s Day around the corner, it’s time to think about what to get for the woman who takes care of everyone else. The handmade marketplace Etsy is a good place to start (and potentially finish) the hunt for a unique gift for mom. Plus, it offers the added benefit of supporting British Columbian artisans who craft their wares and devise their vintage finds with the same maternal love and devotion that mom is known for.
1. A darling hand-stamped silver spoon to remind her every morning, as she stirs her coffee, how special she is. Designed by Karyn Hayden Designs in Surrey and available for $20.
2. Fair trade, organic skincare products from Vancouver’s Fable Naturals are a lovely way to give the gift of relaxation. The apricot and olive nourishing body oil, scented with orange and rose geranium essential oils, is available on Etsy for $23. Another lovely moisturizing gift option, the Moroccan Argan oil available for $36.
3. This T-shirt from Vancouver’s My Cheeky Baby says it all. The tee, which costs $24.95, is a way to recognize how great she is at the most important job in the world.
4. Know a mom-to-be? This funny congratulatory card will at the very least draw a smile, if not convince her that she’ll always be a hottie. The handmade card from Vancouver-based Blushface is available on Etsy for $5.15.
5. Want to add a little warmth and texture to mom’s world? Lovely textured fibre art from Saige and Skye is a beautiful way to do just that. With an array of woven pieces, there are a bundle of beautiful options to choose from, ranging in price from $30 and up.
