Calling All You Slackers: 8 Mother’s Day Beauty Gifts to Order Now
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.
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.
This blend of essential oils from Tata Harper—basically the gold standard in sourcing, with most ingredients coming from her farm in Vermont—melts stress away, with bergamot, neroli and sandalwood. It may not make Mom’s to-do list disappear, but it will impart a moment of calm. Goop is currently offering a $20 flat rate for expedited shipping, meaning your parcel should be at your doorstep in one to three days.
In case bath salts weren’t relaxing enough on their own, these ones are infused with THC. Bath time has never felt so good—or giggly. Birch + Fog offers two-to-three day expedited shipping for $15.
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.
Another item busy moms are unlikely to treat themselves to: an ultra-luxurious hand wash. $51 is steep for a kitchen or bathroom hand wash but this one is so worth it. The scent is an addictive blend of citrusy and woodsy notes, and turns a simple routine thing into a spa-like moment. Aesop offers both Expedited and Priority shipping with Canada Post, so your package is sure to get to you in time to wow the lucky Mom(s) in your life.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
