Mother’s Day is May 8, 2022.
Top Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother is a verb, not a noun. Celebrate all those who mother with meaningful
gifts—perfect for the superheroes in your life. Send her a beautiful
cookbook—like Cook this Book by Molly Baz. Ship it directly to her, or get
it sent to your home and before you drop (or mail) it off, write a heartfelt
note in the inside cover and use sticky notes to mark recipes you’d think
she’d adore. Or, ensure she’s cozy as can be with a beautiful robe,
slippers, and set of PJs. If she loves flowers, send her a beautiful vase in
advance, and a beautiful bouquet on the big day.

Top Books for Moms
Books make for wonderful Mother’s Day gifts, especially if she’s hoping to
add a few titles to her “to be read” pile. Find great reads for me-time and
kid-friendly titles for storytime. If mom loves historical fiction, don’t
miss Kate Quinn’s latest, The Rose Code, or Letters from Across the Sea by
Canadian Genevieve Graham. Music lovers will adore The Final Revival of Opal
& Nev by Dawnie Nelson and those who love romance can’t miss Danielle
Steel’s newest title, The Affair.
For non-fiction readers, check out Jenny Lawson’s Broken (In the Best
Possible Way), The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson, and Canadian Olympian
Perdita Felicien’s My Mother’s Daughter. If you’re after children’s books to
read together, try My Little Brave Girl by Hilary Duff or Canadian title
Sleep, My Baby by Lena Allen-Shore and Jacques J. M. Shore. These books for
mom will be cherished long after Mother’s Day, too.
Heather’s Picks for Mother’s Day
As a mom and grandmother, Indigo’s CEO and Chief Booklover, Heather Reisman,
has curated a list of her top Mother’s Day gifts. For moms who love flowers
and gardening, wrap up Cultivated: The Elements of Floral Style by Christin
Gaell or a Oui Hydro Grow Kit so she can start her own indoor garden,
featuring lavender, basil, mint, and more. Fitness fans and wellness
aficionados will appreciate the Oura Ring and anyone in need of R&R would
love a super-soft 100% organic cotton sheet set or a collection of Maude
bath products.
The Best Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Kids
It’s been a tough year for moms. Encourage kids to pull out all the stops to
celebrate mom this year with thoughtful gifts. Have little ones use craft
supplies to make mom, and the caregivers in their lives, handmade cards.
Pair the card with a new book for storytime, so the whole family can cherish
time spent reading together. Put together a gift basket of spa-day
essentials for mom, and have kids help wrap it up and decorate the package.
Mom will appreciate the handmade touch—and the relaxation! Tuck in an Indigo
gift card so mom can pick out something for herself, too!
