Every year we find ourselves here again, with Mother’s Day less than a week away and us, gift-less and scrambling. And what mom doesn’t like beauty, whether that means being treated to a much-needed massage that they’d never take the time to book themselves, indulging in some zen-inducing activities—it’s time she learn about jade rollers and gua sha stones, or using a little CBD (much easier what with Canada’s recent legalization moves) to help her get one of the best sleeps she’s had since before she became a parent?
Herewith, some fail safe, beauty-centric gifts that can all be procured with expedited shipping—which will conveniently disguise the fact that your Mom’s day may have slipped your mind.
A few drops of this stuff under the tongue and Mom will be on another level of relaxation. With an MCT base, these CBD drops are proven to not only soothe anxiety and promote better sleep, but also boost metabolism. And with three to four day shipping, you’ll be covered in time for Sunday brunch.

A spritz of something new and exciting can be a powerful thing. Valmont’s Storie Veneziane line of fragrances pack all the romance of Venice into one [particularly beautiful] bottle of perfume. Designed by Valmont’s president and artistic director (and noted art collector) Didier Guillon, the revamped bottles come draped in a full leather sheath—with different colours representing each of the five fragrances—and can now be engraved with a message to Mom. Holt Renfrew offers express shipping in two to three business days, and a priority option that could be at your doorstep (or Mom’s) in a single day.

You just cannot go wrong gifting a massage or spa treatment to your mom for Mother’s Day. Bonus: for the most part, these can be booked online and sent via e-gift, meaning last-minute gifters are covered. A handful of Canadian spas are running promos for Mother’s Day, including Caryl Baker Visage (with locations across Ontario and Calgary), Montreal’s Spa Diva and the Miraj by Caudalie Spa at Toronto’s swish Shangri-La Hotel.
Mount Lai Rose Quartz Facial Spa Set
($80, Sephora)
On top of promoting circulation, reducing facial tension and boosting lymphatic draining, gua sha and facial rolling provide excellent excuses to steal away for a few moments of alone time. This set contains both tools in rose quartz, so Mom will be well-equipped to delve into either de-puffing method. (If the words “gua sha” and “facial roller” mean nothing to you, consult this guide.) Sephora has also laid out a handy shipping guide to parcel arrival dates for Mother’s Day, removing any guesswork about whether your gift will arrive in time.

Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones you wouldn’t buy yourself—like a luxurious body wash. Dr. Hauschka’s new shower cream, scented with lemon and lemongrass, is formulated to wash away impurities without drying out skin. Plus, the bottles are made from recycled materials, meaning Mom can feel good about reducing her shower-related carbon footprint. If your local Shoppers doesn’t carry the brand, you can opt for $17 expedited shipping, with a one to three day delivery date.
