The Mother's Day Gift Guide

Hello friend,

We’ve called this week’s issue The Mother’s Day Gift Guide, but it could just as easily be considered a wish list. If you are being celebrated this Mother’s Day, pass it along to your children, or whomever does the Mother’s Day shopping in your life. If you are shopping for your mother, you’re welcome! We’ve got some fabulous finds from female founders that make for the perfect gift. 

In this week’s issue of the newsletter, there’s something cozy for the mother who is always cold; an iconic brunch experience that is the perfect way to celebrate mom; a product that will make her glow and feel some love; a sleep aid that does double duty fighting wrinkles; and a bouquet of flowers that will last until next Mother’s Day and beyond! 

Later this week we have a special invite to share with you. Watch your inbox to learn about a shopping event in Toronto we’re hosting together with SOCCO Living. We would love for you to join us!  

Enjoy!
