Lifestyle expert Niki Anastasakis has released a curated list of Mother’s Day gift "must-haves" for new and existing mothers [1].
These recommendations aim to assist shoppers in finding practical and thoughtful gifts to ensure mothers feel appreciated during the holiday [1, 2].
The guide is tailored for a national audience in Canada, with items available through various online retail sites [3, 4]. The selection includes a range of price points to accommodate different budgets, with some featured gift options starting as low as $13 [5].
With Mother’s Day falling on May 10, 2026 [3, 6], the timing of the guide allows shoppers to secure items before the holiday rush. The list specifically addresses the different needs of new mothers, who may require more practical utility items, and experienced mothers who might prefer luxury or sentimental gifts [1, 2].
Anastasakis said the selection focused on items that provide a balance of functionality and emotional value. By highlighting specific product categories, the expert intends to simplify the decision-making process for consumers navigating a crowded retail market [1, 2].
Shoppers can access these recommendations through digital platforms to facilitate easier purchasing and shipping within Canada [3, 4].
