Mother’s Day is just around the corner (how did that even happen?!) so we wanted to put a little guide together for you to pass along to your partner, in-laws, friends, and whoever else comes bearing shawls and lavender hand cream every May.
We’ve put together some Rebel Mama Approved Gifts that mamas really want, a.k.a. ideas that won’t induce eye rolls or phoney thank you’s.
Also, can we all agree to just celebrate mothers year round?
Pretty sure we deserve all the praise, all the time.
REBEL MAMA MOTHER’S DAY GUIDE 2022
Rebel Mama x Madame Wolf Collection
(Officially launching May 2, 2022. Subscribe to our mailing list for early access!)
Community is the driving concept behind our collaboration with local Toronto designer, Madame Wolf. Designed, cut and printed right here in the GTA, our goal is for these pieces to inspire people to be the village they want to see, all while adding high quality, sustainable, wearable items to their wardrobe. And yes, the tote bag is massive AND it zips shut – hallelujah!

The Little Plant That Could
Those who know us, know we are quite the cannabis connoisseurs – and we love the offering from Madge & Mercer (a premium wellness destination for women). Focused on products for women that address issues such as chronic pain, sleepless nights, and brain fog (a.k.a. mom brain), so go ahead and add some of these to your daily regimen.
Apple Watch 7
Spoil her with the newest Apple watch on the market, and also the most durable to date. With an 18hr battery life, it’s the perfect companion for anything life throws her way, including her favorite fitness class.
A Coveted Gift Certificate
Send her on the shopping spree of her dreams with a GC that packs a punch (aka, not to a mall). Spots we love: VSP Consignment for rare designer finds, Ani and Wren for all the easy to wear mom outfits, GotStyle for the trendy modern maven, The Narwhal for the coolest West Coast brands, and George C for some fancy European footwear.
The Ultimate Staycation
Hey, you know what mom would love the most? Time. Space. Silence. Give her the ultimate gift of solitude and put her up in a sweet hotel for the weekend with a stack of books, some delicious chocolate (we recommend Soma) and some quality tequila or wine and leave her the hell alone. Some spots we love: Four Seasons, ShangriLa, Bisha, Le Germain, and the brand new Ace Hotel.
A Weekend Getaway
Same idea as a staycation, but further away! Send her away alone, with hubby, or her best friend to Prince Edward County or Niagara on the Lake for some much needed rest and restoration. The key here is not to include the spawns. Some spots we love include: Drake Devonshire, Merril House, The Royal, Wander Resort, The Lakeside Motel, Prince of Wales Hotel, Queens Landing, and The Charles Hotel.
Rebel Mama Original Sweaters
Gift a new mama one of our sweaters as a welcome gift to the baddest club on earth – mommyhood. Cute and cozy, this will become her favorite #ootd, and she’ll love spotting fellow RM’s in and around the city in their pink and blue.
The Most Luxurious Body Butter
We have recently become obsessed with Mutha Butter, and had to spread the good word on this product. In this purple jar is a whipped trifecta of shea, cocoa, and mango butters, vitamins, fatty acids, and pure seed extracts, delivering intense yet lightweight moisture, while minimizing stretch marks.
A Personalized Message from US!
The perfect gift for a new mama or mama-to-be: a personal video note from the Rebel Mama’s with well wishes, a few hot tips, and a lot of love.

The Rebel Mama’s Handbook For (Cool) Moms
Perfect for the first time mama in your life. Full of real life advice, this no-bullshit guide will help her navigate the shit show that is early motherhood, from pregnancy to preschool.
Original Rebel Mama Prints
Gift the badass mama in your life an original illustration by Aleks Jassem. Whether it’s the classic Batwoman, a beautiful nude, or the Rebel type, it will surely upgrade any room. Including the nursery.
Noemi Shay x Rebel Mama Collection
Add a touch of gold to her wrist and neck, and remind her how special she is with our RM X NS collection. Handmade in Toronto and featuring lightning bolt details, these pieces are perfect for every day wear and make for a beautiful stacked look. Personalize pieces by adding your kids names, or order childrens sizes for a complimentary family look.
A Spa Sesh
Not a groundbreaking new idea, but still very much appreciated. Book her an hour-long massage, a mani/pedi, and maybe a lunch in the area. Remind her to put her phone on silent at this time, and do not even THINK about sending a text asking where the kids water bottles are. Figure it out. Spas we love: Spa at Hazelton, Four Seasons, and ShangriLa. Hammam Spa, Sweetgrass Spa, Elmwood Spa, Miraj Hammam by Caudalie, Her Majesty’s Pleasure.
A few other things mom wants?
Affordable childcare, equal pay, and a little help around the house without having to ask.
But we’ll settle for the spa day for now.
xx RM
