Celebrate Mom this Mother's Day!

Make mom feel the love this Mother’s Day (May 8) with some great ideas from local Fredericton businesses!

Art, Jewellery & Décor

These are some popular categories for Mother’s Day gift giving, with many options right here in Fredericton to choose from!

Gift the crafty mother in your life with some art supplies from Endeavours Art! If she’s more an art enthusiast, perhaps a work of art from Gallery 78, Gallery on Queen or House of Art would make the perfect gift? Here’s a cool idea! Vena Carr Illustrations will craft a customized illustration of your family! Check out her website for ideas.

If mom loves to adorn her home with modern décor, My Home Consignment is a great place to shop today's trends at reduced rates. Since you’re already uptown, a stop at Tweedside Road is a must; here you will find a magical mix of home décor and lovely painted furniture! Scandimodern’s carefully curated selection of home decor, lights, furniture, and art from Scandinavian countries are sure to make for a delightful gift.

It doesn’t matter if she has somewhere to go or not, donning a nice piece of jewelry always adds a little sparkle to the day. What’s even better is the feeling of wearing something that was carefully crafted by an artisan in your community. There are many local sources to choose from, you can shop hand-crafted jewellery from places like Aitken’s Pewter or Jewelz by Angie.  Artisan shops, U Beautiful Creature, Botinicals, Artful Persuasion, and Whimsy all contain a treasure trove of handmade jewellery and other unique gift ideas.

Take Care with a Little Self-care!

Even though she won’t admit it, deep down, the mom in your life appreciates a little pampering. I mean, who wouldn’t? You shouldn’t have any problem finding that perfect gift that will guarantee that mom gets some “her” time.  Perhaps a basket of goodies featuring items from local suppliers likes Lemon Balm Lane, Naturally Tempted Bath Boutique, Rustik Soap Company, UpFront Cosmetics or Vibrant Salon & Spa.

Throw in a gift certificate from places like Blonde, Platinum Vibe,  Avalon, or Serenity Wellness so that mom can indulge at a later date! If her idea of self-care is spending time in the great outdoors, some cool gear or clothes to hit the trails from Radical Edge is sure to please. Finally, we all know how relaxing a bath and good book can be, a gift certificate to Westminster Books would help with that.

Is the mother in your life in need of some serious rest and relaxation? There are Stay and Play Packages on our website, curated for just that. Added bonus: If you book a featured package, mom will receive $50 bonus dollars at check-in, perfect for an evening of dining out!

Surround her with Flowers

One of the most popular gifts to give mom? Flowers, of course! We are lucky to have a number of florists/nurseries in Fredericton that would love to help you celebrate someone special. Whether it is a fresh floral spring bouquet, annuals, perennials or a lovely potted plant, check out Scott’s Nursery, Hanson Road Flower Co, Trites Flower Shop, or Grower Direct. (Insider’s tip: you will score huge brownie points for this, promise!)

You Can’t go Wrong with Food

Many Fredericton restaurants offer Mother’s Day brunch or dinner, be sure to call ASAP to book a reservation because tables will be filling fast! If you’re looking to build your own brunch, you could order a spread of bagels, cream cheese, tasty bevvies and MORE from places like Tipsy Muse Café, or shop at one of our local markets for locally produced breakfast fixins'.

Sweet treats are always a WIN on Mother’s Day, we know that Chess Piece Patisserie & Café always has delectable desserts for all occasions. The Donut Bar, The Shake Shed Freddy and Buttercream Dreams are all sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Charcuterie boards are all the rage right now and there are lots of options to choose from locally like, Curated Charcuterie and Grazing Boxes, and Sweet & Salty Grazing Co. to name a couple!
