My Mother is in lock down. Cell Block Yorkville. What provisions can I offer her for this Mother’s Day? “How about getting me a gold fish?” She suggests. Well, that’s certainly an idea, and I’ll jot that down. Here are some other ideas to celebrate our Moms on Mother’s Day…
Pairing Wine and Web
Gift a subscription to Hollywood Suite for its four multiplex-channels focusing on classic films from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
Pair this subscription with microwavable popcorn, a squeeze bottle of caramel, and a bottle of Peller Estates Signature Series Ice Cuvée Rosé. You can also pair this luscious wine with a double cream d’Affinois and a crunchy toasted baguette.
Master Class offers online classes to spice up your life with chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Massimo Bottura. There are also classes in Design, Gardening, Mindfulness, and even Hostage Negotiation!
Pair this subscription with a bottle of Chardonnay Kiln-Dried 2015 from Reif Estate Winery, smoked chicken, smoked salmon, mixed nuts, apricots, pasta with asparagus tips and gouda or bocconcini.
Restaurant Picnic Baskets
Langdon Hall
Treat Mom to a Mother’s Day Spa Collection and Art Collection with shipment or pick up at Langdon Hall. During closure they are also offering Saturday Dinners at Home again! Order online and enjoy a three-course elegant dinner at home.
The Spa Box is wellness-inspired to relax and rejuvenate mom, like a new bloom on a fresh spring morning. Light the floral and grounding ‘Sunny Start’ candle, make a cup of tea, take a salt soak, and then rest upon the most comfortable and luxurious pillowcase you’ve ever experienced. Add a spray of pillow scent and a dab of roll-on to your temples and you are sure to experience a most restful and decadent break. Heighten your experience with a nibble on one of a signature chocolate bar.
The Art Bag includes an original 8×10 painting on paper by an artist from Langdon Hall’s sold-out exhibition ‘Pairings’; a palette from Beam Paints on Manitoulin Island, which supports 100% indigenous female entrepreneurship; a pad of watercolour paper; as well as aid to inspiration: a bespoke candle, snacks, and a water bottle to keep hydrated while creating. Add on a bottle of rosé to really get the creativity flowing. Carry it all away in a sturdy LH bag.
Tachi
The first and only stand up omakase restaurant in Canada has launched a special Sakura Premium Omakase Box from mid-April to mid-May in celebration of Japanese Culture, Cherry Blossoms and Mom.
The spectacular bloom of Cherry blossoms serves as a reminder that life is fragile and precious. We need to make the most of our time and cherish every passing moment in our hearts.
Meticulously prepared Sakura Mochi is included in the package, because these special skewered rice dumplings are coloured pink for the spring Sakura, white for the last of winter snow, and green in anticipation of summer. In Japan, these dango are so popular that they’re referenced in the Japanese expression hana yori dango (rice dumplings rather than flowers)
