4 last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas

Sending a great big ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ to our moms, your moms, and to all the women out there who may not technically be moms, but certainly share their love like one! Our heroes, our healers; our beacons of strength & love… moms deserve to be celebrated.

Still looking for the perfect gift? We’ve got a few ideas to make this Mother’s Day one to remember!


A Night at the Theatre

Treat mom to a night at the theatre! Give her an ATP gift card this Mother’s Day, and the two of you can choose from any show in our 2018-19 season.

We hope that she’ll love the show. But we know that she’ll love having seen it with you.


Family Barbeque

Hey – it may be raining now, but Sunday is going to be gorgeous (right, weather?). Why not treat mom to the family time she loves and have a backyard barbeque? Let’s face it; time with family is really the best gift you can give. But maybe consider sweetening the deal by bringing some BBQ-approved bevvies from Village Brewery. We recommend the clean, crisp Village Blonde, and the dazzling Village Squeeze.


Afternoon Tea

Our friends over at Tea Trader in Inglewood will set you up with the perfect blend of tea for your mom. Paired with a few (or ten) of Patisserie du Soleil’s delectable pastries, and you’ve got the makings of the perfect Mother’s Day get-together! We love these guys so much, we order from them for every Afternoon Tea at Alberta Theatre Projects.


Mother’s Day Brunch

Nothing says ‘Mother’s Day’ like a beautiful Sunday brunch. ‘Homemade breakfast in bed’ is a staple in the Kids’ Mother’s Day Arsenal, after all (along with a homemade card containing a charming backwards ‘e’ somewhere).

So if you’re looking for a truly outstanding brunch experience for a truly outstanding mom, both River Café and Deane House serve brunch starting at 10am on both Saturday and Sunday. Both restaurants have incredible cuisine and are set within absolutely gorgeous settings.
