If your mom is more traditional and loves a good gift basket full of fancy fresh hors d’oeuvres, Elate Lounge is your wonderland.
Check out their assortment of local cheeses and charcuterie, or tasty non-perishables like raw honey, oils, jams, and chutneys! If you’re shopping there with mom, stop to treat her to a mani in their spa’s hand bar, or grab a bite to eat from the restaurant’s modern shareable menu featuring brunch until 4 pm and a free mimosa for her!

Tailor your gift to mom with stones that promote healing, courage, money, strength, awareness, calming, and optimism. It may be mystical, and most of us don’t really know if they do anything, but it’s sweet, unique, and thoughtful, and that’s what’s going to get you mega points with any mom in your life, Calgs!
Where: 100 1022 17th Ave SW
Blooms on 9th
The most important gift of all is also the most necessary gift this Mother’s Day, and that’s a big bouquet of flowers! With an incredible assortment of flowers available for your mom, like boxed blooms, spring hand-tied bouquets, the “oh my god!” bouquet, and hydrangea gardens, there is something to suit each individual momma’s personality and fave flower! Don’t know her favourite flower? We suggest the “Oh My God!”, it’s stunning and a definite safe bet.
