1. Free to Be Natural Soap
Natural face and body soaps are lovingly made in small batches to sustain quality and freshness. Over the last 9 years, Peterborough’s very own, Katie Leger has developed a wonderful vegan recipe that features organic and natural oils, butters, and botanicals. She uses the traditional hot process method in the making of her soaps and wraps them in compostable, low waste packaging. This is a clear win for all the Mothers – and is Mother Nature approved!
2. Babar Too Omega Moisturizer
Looking to add a boost to Mom’s spring skin care routine? Look no further than the perfectly pure moisturizer from Babar Too. Free from toxins and artificial fragrance, this light and dreamy moisturizer will nourish and sooth their skin after this hella long winter.
3. Simply Natural Canada Essential Oil Roll-On
Sometimes managing all of the things can really give you a headache, and keep you up at night. Help Mom to unwind with an easy to apply essential oil roll on, featuring soothing lavender or pain-zapping peppermint.
4. Modern Vintage Designs Macramé Plant Hangers

6. Cards from Brianna Gosselin, Ecology Park, and Anita Clifford
It really is hard to count all the ways that Mom and mom-figures impact our lives. But, we can probably name a few within the confines of a greeting card, right?

Looking to give Mom a lovely outdoor experience? Is your Mother a gardener? The Ecology Park Plant Sale is the weekend following Mother’s Day on May 18th. Not only is this a great event to spend time with Mom, it’s also a way to support your Mother’s love of gardening.

Beeswax candles are a classic Mother’s Day gift. The GreenUP Store carries locally sourced options from 9” pillars to tiny tea lights and votives.
