Mother's Day is just around the corner and we know how important it is to show the special moms in your life how much they mean to you. Personally, we always find it hard to find something unique and thoughtful that shows we were thinking of them. We know some mom's love receiving flowers, or a nice breakfast out, but what about supporting a maker, and really taking a moment to pick out something special? This Mother's Day, why not stop by our marketplace, Handmade Canada, to find something she'll love while shopping local.
