Think about everything that your mom has done for you: she nursed you, put up with your “terrible twos“, kissed away bruises and wiped tears away. It’s time to pay her back with a day of relaxation and comfort in the form of an amazing spa day. We’ve teamed up with our good friends at WaySpa for the ultimate Mother’s Day present: a $100 gift card for WaySpa. Since the card is accepted at thousands of locations all over Canada and the United States, the only decision you (or whoever you give it to) will have to make is which spa or fitness center to visit.
Interested in a little rest and relaxation of your own? No problem! Enter for a chance to win a spa day for the best person you know, yourself. I know this is something that would be hard to share!

I always love it when my children make me cards and gifts themselves for Mother’s Day!
Breakfast in bed, followed by a day of watching movies! :)
homemade ornaments to hang in the living room from my son, a really cool pottery bell!
I gave her a holiday at home – which included cleaning her home and pampering her while she relaxed in her own house :-)
The best gift was a surprise trip to Ireland from my Mum when we left many years ago.
The best gift I gave my mother was a trip to Vegas to see Celine Dion. I went with mom to make sure everything was okay. She still gets a kick out of the fact that I only bought one ticket (I’m not a Celine fan :-)
LIKEd and SHAREd on FB :)
best gift I ever got was my daughter – she was born 3 weeks early, just in time for Mother’s Day – my mom always said you don’t understand until you have kids of your own, boy was she right!
One year, I got my Mom a gift certificate to a tattoo parlour so that we could get matching butterfly tattoos!!
My siblings and I got together and bought our mom a trip to Paris. It had been her lifelong dream and so we saved up for years. The look on her face when she saw the tickets was priceless. It still makes me teary thinking about it!
The best gift I received and gave my Mom (she passed on in 2006) was unconditional love and support, which I now pass on to my children and they to me!
The best gift I was given was a spa package to Elmwood.
We normally go to the spa on monthers day…best kind of mother daughter bonding
My parents are very thrifty, so much so that they wait for as long as they physically can before turning on the heat in the winter (I’m talking mid-December!). Their house is always freezing cold, so I bought my mom a heated throw. She uses it every day, the second she gets home from work!
I made my mother pottery with indian ink on it. It turned out great and she still likes it
I met my mum in India for a trip in May, to spend mother’s day with her since we dont live in the same country anymore.
I made a sandart picture for my mom when I was little…she still has it. And when I gave it to her, she couldn’t believe I made it myself!
I’m getting married this Mother’s Day, so I think a wedding and son-in-law is a pretty good gift.
I shared the contest on Facebook

The best gift I ever received from my mum was my pet dog Ody which she gave to me when I moved out of the family home … Ody has truly been my best friend for the past 14 years. The gift of his company and unconditional love has been priceless.
Liked, tweeted, shared, followed :) ty so much for this amazing chance
The best Mother’s Day gift that I gave to my mother was a homemade gift basket of all her favorite little things. It had everything from soaps to body wash, key chains, candles, her favorite candies and chocolates, make-up and so much more! She loved it. She said it was one of the best gifts ever and very thoughtful. I thought it was a great idea and I was right :)
My mom used to always knit me sweaters. So I learned to knit (I’m a man) and I made one for her one year!
The best gift Ive ever given to my mother, well i dont know because her reaction is pretty much the same to everything… The best gift I ever received was a beautiful ring that my son picked out for me all on his own when he wasnt even 2 years old yet. (It was perfect for me btw).
Flowers – not original I know, but it is what she really wants!
When i was little along with a little store bought gift i would always make little coupon books for my mom -for a free hug or to do chores.she would LOVE it as she thought it was so personable and cute. 15+ years later, i decided to do it again for her last birthday- something similar except adding cooking a dinner, or day at the beach- she almost cried- just because life has gotten in the way and we are always soo busy that she appreciated just the time i spend with her now. my moms the best
My mom has always bent over backwards for me, and she has been nothing but a blessing for me when my water broke with my first little one just shy of 7 months into my pregnancy, and since my little girl has been born she’s helped me so much emotionally, physically and everything in between!! Shared on FB as well!
The best gift I ever gave is giving my mother my home made mother’s day cards. She always loved every one, and at the age of 21 she still has every one. She gets so emotional and I can feel the love between us. I give anything to see her happy, so a small card is nothing compared to that.
the best give i gave was a photobook of memories!
The best gift I ever received was a house full of post-it notes from my teenage daughter. Every note described something she appreciates about me. It blew me away!
The best gift my mother gave me was her time. We would talk for hours. The best gift I gave my mother was growing up to be a good hearted person she could be proud of.
I liked and shared the post!
The best gift I’ve given my mother is a hand-painted pottery trinket box in the shape of a heart. I spent 25 hours on it.
My best gift was my mom’s engagement ring.
The best gift I received was a necklace from my grandmother that I admired very much when I was younger (I may have also chewed on it when I was a baby… Oops!)
My adopted mother died on May 12, 1962, which was the day before Mother’s Day that year. Fast forward to May 12, 1986, and I am reading a letter from my birth mother at St. Catherine’s house in London, England. We have since met, spent 6 months together in Canada, and 6 months in Australia, meeting all my rellys. Needless to say, it was the best mother’s day gift for both of us!
Best gift for my mom was a mother daughter day at the spa. We really bonded over that time together and we both really treasure it.
The greatest gift was a hand-sewn teddy bear made by my father who had never crafted anything of the sort. It was crooked & the stuffing was falling out in places, but I went to bed with it every night & it still sits on my desk.
The best gift I ever received was finding out I was pregnant! Can’t wait to meet my little girl and be her mom!
My best gift was the song my kids wrote and sang for me.
The best gift I gave my mother was staying out of trouble when I was a teenager. Seriously, the best gift I gave her was treating her to high tea with all her children.
The best gift I gave to my mother was being a good person with lots of love to share….Thank you mom.

The best gift I gave my mom was a brooch that she really wanted the best I ever got was 2 puppies from a litter her dog had.
Two years ago I bought my Mom tickets to see Bon Jovi, she was very excited
I shared on Facebook…
Best gift I gave my Mom was all my support whenever she needed it, especially when my Dad passed away earlier this year. The best gift I received was being the child of my Mom and Dad.
I recently put on a 50th Birthday celebration for my mother at my home. I hired a jazz trio to play for 2 sets of 20 minutes. I made tasty gourmet appies, had a selection of teas, wines, and coffees, and provided posters of poems and pictures for my mom. It was a ladies only event and I only invited her close friends. I had a journal that everyone wrote notes in (and made an effort to get letters and notes from friends and family who live distances away). Our friend’s daughter made her a big glittery Happy Birthday sign. We had prizes and quizzes all about my mom and party favours with pretty things!We had a great time and she really appreciated it! Especially since I used her favourite colours to decorate.
my mothers birthday is just a couple of days after mothers day so we usually just do a big gift for her birthday
I flew a very close friend of hers whom she had not seen since war time in London, England from California, USA, to her in Ontario, Canada. They had quite a reunion!!
I got to keep my son. :) Due to complications in my pregnancy, and with his birth, we almost lost him. He came home 2 days after my first Mother’s Day after a month stay in the NICU.
I got a full spa day once. Talk about pure relaxation!
I have never had a bad Mother’s Day. Spending it with my kids, my Mom, my dad, my husband and my sister and her family is the best. I look forward to it every year
The best gift I gave was a day at the spa, actually.
The best gift I was given was my Mom’s pendant. She never took it off, and now I never take it off. Makes me feel close to her.
Best mothers day gift I gave my mama wasnt near as nice as she deserves it was a new speing outfit :) she deserves the world! :D
love you momsie
Best mothers day gift I gave my mama wasnt near as nice as she deserves it was a new speing outfit :) she deserves the world! :D
The best mothers day gift I got was from my boyfriend, I lost my daughter 3 years ago at 1 week old, the only pictures i had, she had wires and tubes all over. My boyfriend is a graphic designer and took her picture and it into the most beautiful picture I’ve ever seen and framed it for me. This has been the BEST gift I have EVER received even if the meaning is SAD!!! It brought tears of happiness and sadness that I will NEVER forget ! :)
I bought my mom a ring with hers and my dads and mine and brothers birth stone in it last year. Last year I got a beautiful 18×10 canvas painting from my then 3 year old daughter which i love and have hanging on my living room wall
I had moved away to school one year (two hours from home) and my mom wasn’t taking it too well. I wanted to cheer her up, so I had a friend drive me to my parents’ place on mother’s day. I bought her flowers and her favourite chocolate and went up to the door and just rang the bell with the flowers in front of my face so she couldn’t see who it was. She was elated to say the least when she realized I’d come home just to see her :)
i won a dozen beautiful red roses once in a contest when i was still a poor student, so it was a extra nice gift to give to my mother, they also were delivered right to the door as a surprise to her!i even took a picture of them to keep as a memory, that’s how beautiful they were!
My mom doesn’t like it when me and my brother buy her gifts because she doesn’t believe we need to spend our money get her anything special, so for years she just got handmade gifts and cards. But this Christmas I got her one of her favorite treats, a box of turtles, and the newest CD of Mumford and Sons shes been wanting. I know its not much but she was thankful and loved it.
I took my mom to Vegas. ;) We had fun – stayed in a nice hotel, shopped a little, at a LOT! Stayed by the pool. It was a fantastic time!!
Whoops. *Ate* a lot!
I also shared on Facebook :)
The best gift I gave my Mother was grandchildren ;-)

The best gift I gave was a lunch at a very nice tea house for my mother and godmother

the best mothers day gift I have ever given my mom was a trip to vegas. She had always wanted to go and I treated her a few years back. We had an amazing trip and made a wonderful memory. The best gift I have ever gotten for mothers day is the first gift my son gave me when he was in kindergarten. It was very simple but my son was so proud of it and excited to give it to me. It was a picture he made full of glued on sparkles and macaroni. I still have it!
the best gift i’ve ever given my mother was a “homemade coupon booklet”, so she could use a coupon and have us do the dishes, sweep the floors, take out the garbage ect. ….and it all had to be done without complaining hehe. the best gift i ever got from my kids was a homemade card where they had listed all the reasons i make their lives great and how much they love me.. made me cry :)
All I need for my Mothers Day to be amazing is to be surrounded by my loved ones.L

The best gift I have ever gave my Mother was to take her to see Stars on Ice at a small arena. When I went to buy the tickets, the box office wasn’t open. So while I waited, I headed up to the arena restaurant (which turned out to be very good) and had lunch. I had a great conversation with the bartender/waiter and told him that I was buying tickets for my Mom and I to see Stars on Ice. He suggested that I book reservations for dinner before the show…but didn’t exactly tell me why…he just said it would be a good idea. I thought, hey, Mom would love a dinner out, so why not. So, I gave Mom the tickets and told her to come up for the show and that I would taking her for dinner too.
Imagine my surprise when we are seated in the middle of the skaters who are having their pre-show dinner. Not only were the skaters there, but thier spouses and, in some cases, children too. My Mother was in 7th heaven! She is such a skating fan that she comments ahead of the skaters when she watches on TV. She knows a triple lutz from a double cowtow, or whatever they call those jumps. I’m just happy if they land without falling!
Part way through our dinner, a few of the skaters came over and chatted with her. It made her night! And then she discovered we had front row seats!
I’m pretty sure Mom would tell you that was the best gift I ever gave her. Personally, I thought the fresh picked bouquet of dandelion flowers that I gave her when I was 7 were pretty rocking!
PS: Did I mention we were the only non skaters in our section of the restaurant? That bartender was so sweet for doing that!
i shared (summer plewes) on facebook :)
my best gift was my son. I know sappy. But it really was. Other than that. I like homemade gifts my son gives OR foot rubs from the man in the house :)
The greatest gift I have ever recieved from my mother was simply having her put up with me and my schenanigans. Therefore I try whenever I can to do something awesome for her and I think she’d really enjoy this!
Oh, and contest shared :D
The best gift that I have ever given my mother is probably breakfast in bed (when I was 7 or 8) and even though the breakfast making was a family affair, we all managed to burn the food :( (but the reason I think it was the best present is because my mom still ate it ) so yes: the thought counts :)
The best present I have received is 5 spa days: my parents got me (and me 2 sisters plus my mom) a spa package which consisted of a massage day, a makeup day, a hair cut/ color, a manicure and a pedicure :)
Thanks mom and dad :)
the best mother’s day gift given to me includes two things combined- the gift of time and flowers. every year i would be able to go and pick all of the flowers i wanted for my garden as well as a day to myself to prepare and plant them :) now, to be honest, the very best gift always has and always will be, my children themselves. :)
