Mother’s Day: Gift Ideas To Plan The Perfect Day For Your Mom

Mothers are superheroes in disguise. They can juggle a million things at once, always seem to have the answer to every problem, and somehow make it all look effortless. There are countless ways in which mothers make our lives brighter, kinder, and more joyful. So, as we celebrate Mother's Day, let us take a moment to express our gratitude for the women who have showered us with unconditional love and continue to inspire us every day. 

We have curated a list of places (who we proudly call Moneris merchants) to take your mom this Mother’s Day and make her day as special as she makes yours every day.

How about a bottle of limited-production boutique wine for your mom? Founded by Mark Low, an experienced entrepreneur with a passion for fine wines, Infinite Wines specializes in sourcing and curating high-quality boutique wines from around the world, focusing on small, family-owned vineyards that produce exceptional wines with unique flavours and aromas. 

If your mom is a fine wine lover, head to Infinite Wines to discover and enjoy exceptional wines that are not available in traditional retail stores. If you want to make a day out of it, they also offer wine-tasting events (you can book those through their website) to help customers learn more about the world of wine and experience the different flavours.  

Amal 

After a glass (or two) of wine, it’s time to dine. We have the perfect pick for you and your mom—Amal, a Lebanese restaurant located in the heart of downtown Toronto. The restaurant is known for its authentic Lebanese cuisine, warm hospitality, and cozy atmosphere. The name "Amal" means hope in Arabic, and the restaurant strives to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for all customers. 

The menu at Amal features a variety of traditional Lebanese dishes, including mezze (small plates), grilled meats, and vegetarian options. Some of their signature dishes include hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, shish taouk (marinated chicken skewers), and kafta (ground beef or lamb). They also offer a selection of relish-worthy Lebanese desserts, such as baklava and knafeh. 

The restaurant boasts a lush interior and beautiful ambient lighting and is decorated with a mix of modern and traditional elements. Both indoor and outdoor seating are available, making it a great spot for a special occasion. 

Glory Hole Doughnuts 

Have you and your mom exhausted all doughnut shops around you and want to explore someplace with contemporary flavours? Glory Hole Doughnuts, located in Toronto, is known for its unique and creative doughnut flavours made from scratch daily, using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Some of their most popular flavours include maple bacon, raspberry hibiscus, and lemon pistachio. They are fried in small batches to ensure that each doughnut is fresh and delicious.  

In addition to doughnuts, the shop also offers coffee and espresso drinks, and vegan and gluten-free options. It's a must-visit destination for anyone with a sweet tooth!
