Hi Mimis, I hope you're doing well. 🤍

Mother's Day is a special day to show love and appreciation for the women who raised us. But finding the perfect gift for mom can be a challenge, especially if you're looking for something unique and thoughtful. To help you out, here's my list of Mother's Day gift ideas. All designed in Montreal, and all made to be kept, not tossed. 🌼

A handmade ceramic gift that lasts

If you want a gift that feels personal, start with our handmade ceramics. Every piece is designed by Camille, and each one is a little different. Tealight holders, match pots, ceramic nests and everyday objects made in small batches. It's the kind of gift that lives on her shelf or her table for years, and makes her think of you every time she lights a candle. Pair a ceramic piece with a small candle and you have a beautiful, ready-to-give duo. ✨

For the organized mom

We all know an organized mom. Why not lean into it? Our notebooks, planners and notepads are illustrated by Camille and made to be used every day. Daily planning, to-do lists, little notes. Beautiful and practical: what better way to get organized?

The perfect scent for her everyday

A lit Mimi & August Mango Mandarine – 2 oz Soy Candle in a brown glass jar sits on a table next to a basket of oranges, its lid, and green foliage.

As a mom, creating a warm and inviting home is essential and nothing does it faster than a scented candle or a room mist. A lovely aroma, a relaxing glow, and a cup she keeps once the wax is done. We offer many scents and sizes, so there's something for every mom.

Mimi's advice: our mini candles are perfect for helping her discover a new scent without commitment. Personally, we love the Botanica candle and the Botanica room spray, with their light, fresh notes of black tea and bergamot. ✨

For the coffee-loving mom

Cafecito Reusable Candle size 11 oz by mimi and august

If your mom runs on coffee (don't we all know one 😄), build her a little coffee lover's kit. Start with our Cafecito reusable candle. Warm notes of coffee, dulce de leche and cacao, like her favourite café in candle form. Add the Café au Lait mini candle (coffee, milk foam and vanilla) for her desk or bedside table, and our ceramic to-go cup so her morning coffee travels in style. And when a candle runs out? A refill keeps her favourite going — same cup, fresh scent. ☕

Art for her walls

For the mom who loves her home, an illustrated art print is a gift she'll see every single day. Each poster is illustrated by Camille and printed with care. The 8×10" format ships quickly, and larger sizes are made to order just for her. Which honestly makes the gift feel even more intentional. Choose the illustration that feels like her, and you've got a gift with meaning. 🖼️

For the accessory lover

Someone attaches a Mimi & August Blossom Branch Keychain to a brown leather bag placed on a table next to a lit candle, a notebook, and a pen.

For moms who love pretty little details, our illustrated keychains and enamel pins are small but mighty gifts. Gold-tone details, floral illustrations designed in Montreal. A little charm she'll carry everywhere. Perfect on their own, or as the finishing touch on a bigger gift. :)

Greeting cards and sweet little words
