Mother’s Day Gift Guide

If I am completely honest the best gift would be to sleep uninterrupted for as long as I wanted. Ideally I’d book a night at a hotel but with our current situation that’s not really possible. So I thought I would put together a local Mother’s Day Gift Guide – Shop Local YXH including a list of some of my favourite local shops. There is no time like the present to shop local.

I love supporting local businesses when I can, it makes me so happy. That’s probably because my parents have owned and operated their own business in Medicine Hat for the last 30 years. Small shops and businesses have a large place in my heart.

So many businesses are struggling right now and if it’s in your budget to give a gift to a wonderful lady in your life, I thought I would share my favourite in this Local Mother’s Day Gift Guide.

I have tried to break the gift guide down into categories to hopefully make this easier for you. A lot of these places also offer gift cards which also a great gift option.

Jewelry

Dawn & Clay Co. – These handmade clay earrings are so precious and would be a great addition to any jewelry collection.

Roset by Reid – This breath taking jewelry store is a perfect place to find the perfect gift for any special occasion. Currently we can’t visit their welcoming atmosphere but they did just launch their online store. Make sure to check it out as they have jewelry for any budget and Chelsea is there to help.

DeeZ Bows – This matching mommy and me set is so cute and perfect for all the girl moms out there. You can also purchase the earrings just for mom as well. All of DeAndra’s items are handmade, custom orders are also welcome.

The Little Moonstone – Seriously, I am obsessed with all the macrame. Not only does Kayla have gorgeous earrings but she has wonderful home decor too. Macrame wall hangings and plant hangers, oh my!

Plants

Botanicals – There is nothing more satisfying than adding more plants to your collection. The arrangements and little pots that Karri puts together is the perfect addition to any home.

Elliot – The pieces that Erica has sourced for her store are so unique, you can tell there is a lot of thought put into it. I don’t think you could go wrong buying anything from this store. I know I want it all!

Boylan Imaging – Any mother can attest to the fact the we love photos and custom gifts. Boylan Imaging can do both. Being my go to place for anything photo related Boylan’s offers so much more than just printing.

Sewline Upholstery – I am speaking from personal experience – because this is my families business – there is a lot of sentiment in furniture. Whether it was your grandma’s wingback chair or may be the kitchen chairs are worn out from years of feeding the family. Recovering a meaningful piece will last a life time.

Food

Station Coffee Co. – Whether you grab a gift certificate or surprise the lady of the house with an afternoon coffee. You can’t go wrong with Station Coffee and treat – it would be a bonus if she could have 15 mins alone to enjoy it without sharing.

Station Coffee Co

Madhatter Roastery – Motherhood is fuelled by coffee. Bring the coffeehouse to her buy picking up some locally roasted coffee beans, to brew in the comfort of your own home.

Madhatter Roastery

Redcliff Bakery – Who doesn’t enjoy a sweet treat. Mother’s Day is the best day to add a special dessert to the day. I know I’d be pretty happy with a custom cake but I would settle for a donut!

Redcliff Bakery

The Hat’s Olive Tap – I can not say enough good things about the oils and vinegars available at The Hat’s Olive Tap. This is a great gift for the ladies that love to be creative in the kitchen or like trying new things.

The Hats Olive Tap

Grit City Distillery – Motherhood is hard and sometimes coffee isn’t enough. Grit City Distillery has some unique flavors to amp up your martini/quarentini game. OR may be you order their popular pickle pizza and offer to do the dishes.

Gifts –

Pink Paper Boutique – Personally I love recieving cards, I love when someone takes the times to write me a message or when my kiddos draw a picture in it. Cards are like a time stamp and Rena puts so much attention to detail in her gorgeous cards.

Pink Paper Boutique

Brittany Ross Photography – Recently Brittany started offering these beautiful line drawings. When a lot of ladies would have signed up for Mother’s Day photo shoots this is a beautiful way to preserve a favourite photo. ( These line drawings are only available for a limited time, they will be available to order May 1st)
