They wipe away our tears when we get sad, bandage up our cuts and scrapes when we take a fall and provide a helping hand when we need it most. We’re talking about moms.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, SickKids Foundation wants to provide you with some great gift ideas for the special moms in your life. Instead of the expected, give a gift she will truly appreciate. SickKids Get Better Gifts offers unique and thoughtful gift ideas that help make the lives of kids at The Hospital for Sick Children a little brighter.

Show your mom how much she rocks with the purchase of a rocking chair ($20). Provide supplies for cooking and baking programs ($15) so children can make their favourite treats, just like mom. Help doctors get an accurate temperature reading with a digital thermometer ($25) and avoid those sleepless nights beside the bed of a sick child. Keep a child warm and cosy on the road to recovery with a post operation blanket warmer ($125).

Whatever gift you choose, know that you are making a difference to The Hospital for Sick Children and the children within. See what you can give!

With your gift, you will have the opportunity to send a personalized message with a traditional card or e-card.

If you would simply like to send a Mother’s Day e-card or traditional card, SickKids Foundation has those, too. Click here to select a card.

We wish a very happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there.
