Although we cherish our mothers every day of the year, Mother’s day is an excuse to shower them with our time and attention to show them that we appreciate their years of love.
This Mother’s Day, treat your mothers, your grandmothers, your wives — every mother in your life with a small token of your affection.
The gifts in this guide have been carefully curated by LIV Design Studios and selected from local businesses in our home of Vancouver plus a few of our favourite places to shop.
We welcome you to enter our giveaway, full of incredible offerings chosen specifically to put a smile on mom’s face this year. Whether your mom has classic, elegant, or trendsetting style — there’s a wealth of breathtaking options that would please any mom.
We should treat our moms every day of the year! Small things often mean the most – phone calls, text messages etc. A gift to moms is another reminder of how important they are to us and the role they play in our lives.

Mother’s Day happens at the height of spring when the gardens are in full bloom and the warmth of the sun is growing stronger each day.

WC Jungle
Mothers gifted with green thumbs will love this addition of a tropical Monstera Deliciosa from West Coast Jungle to their collection. This plant will be a statement piece in her home and can instantly update any room where it seeks a little sun.

Mother’s Day gifts for foodies
La Fabrique St-George
If your mother hasn’t been able to take a trip to wine country lately, bring her a bottle of the most hyperlocal vino available. La Fabrique St-George is hidden in the Mount Pleasant area and creates fresh and unique wines. Additionally, you can pick up a few kinds of cheese and charcuterie pieces to make her a customized gift basket, too.
The Graze Company
The Mother’s Day Brunch Graze Box is a gift that would please anyone at any time of year, but it will make Mother’s Day just that much more special for your mom. As breathtakingly ornate as a painting, the act of eating breakfast on Sunday morning becomes sublimated into a ritual.
Included are Belgian waffles, mini croissants, smoked salmon lox, capers and cream cheese, and more plus everything you need to make mimosas.
Trafiq
It’s hardly a Mother’s Day celebration without cake. Whether you favour a decadent slice of chocolate or classic vanilla — Trafiq is a Vancouver bakery that creates dense, moist, and flavourful cakes. You will savour every forkful and it will become mom’s new favourite.

A simple and elegant Diamond Necklace from Ana Luisa will be a trinket she wears to work or to dinner for years to come. Made out of recycled gold and featuring a lab-grown diamond, this is an ethically and environmentally responsible jewellery choice for a mom.
Leah Alexandra
Add to mom’s jewellery box with finery from Vancouver-based Leah Alexandra. These classic pieces are so timeless that you’ll be tempted to keep adding to your cart. Crown your mom with the Reign Cuff (pictured left) and Roma Hoops (pictured right) for a subtle yet regal look.
Additionally, for a unique gift, bring mom with you to Leah Alexandra’s pop-up Spark Studio at the Fairmont Pacific Rim. You can “get sparked” together with an elegant gold or silver update to the friendship bracelet — a weightless chain cut perfectly to fit your wrist that’s then sealed, or sparked so that you can wear it always.

Pick up made to order face mask for mom. One can never have too many, and these ones are made with 100% cotton and have a PM2.5 filter inside. There are a variety of styles available, but our favourite is a luscious floral design like this.
From all of us at LIV Design Studio, we wish a happy Mother’s Day to all the strong and beautiful mothers of the world and hope that you enjoy a treasured moment with your own family this month.
