The ultimate 2022 Mother’s Day gift guide
Flower arranging workshop
This pre-recorded workshop from Wild North Flowers is more fun, and longer lasting, than buying Mom a pre-made bouquet. All the necessary tools—flowers, vase and clippers—are delivered to addresses across the GTA. From $135, wildnorthflowers.com
Engraved eau de parfum
Sephora provides complimentary product engraving at select stores—which means this floral Gucci Bloom perfume set can be properly kitted out with your mom’s name or initials. $125, sephora.com
Custom jewellery
Attic, the sustainable Toronto jewellery brand, allows patrons to try their hand at designing the perfect (for Mom) solitaire ring. Customizable elements include the setting, the type of gold band, and the colour and cut of the gemstone (sapphire or conflict-free diamond). Starting at $1,500 for the setting, atticgold.com
