Mother’s Day is a heartfelt opportunity to honor the women who inspire, uplift, and care for us every day. At ETHOS Event Collective, we believe that gifting should reflect intentionality and community impact. That’s why our 2025 Mother’s Day Gift Guide celebrates both meaningful connection and local craftsmanship through our signature approach: Purposeful Planning™.
Every item in this guide is handpicked from a small business within one of our cherished destinations. When you gift from this curated list, you’re doing more than choosing a beautiful present, you’re supporting local artisans and contributing to the communities we proudly serve.
Whether you're seeking corporate gifting ideas or the perfect present for someone in your personal life, these options highlight stories, values, and local pride. Here’s how you can celebrate Mother’s Day with heart and purpose.
Why Purposeful Gifting Matters
At ETHOS, we believe gifting is a reflection of what we value. As a local destination management company, we spend a large portion of our time sourcing trusted local vendors who can supply high-quality and unique items for our clients. Through our years of experience, it has been proven that when you gift purposefully, you celebrate the people and places behind the product, and it leaves a lasting impression on those who receive it.
Let this guide inspire your Mother’s Day approach and help you support small businesses across North America and the Caribbean in the process.

If you feel that there is not a gift featured in our Mother's Day gift guide that resonates with the special mother figure you're shopping for, we invite you to consider another meaningful gesture: donating to a nonprofit in her honor.
This year, ETHOS is proud to continue our Passion Project Initiative, a program designed to foster meaningful relationships between our clients and nonprofits across our destinations.
Our team has aligned with up to four nonprofits in each of our locations for their people-first approach, transparency, and mission, which resonate deeply with our core values.
Below, please review the wonderful nonprofits. Perhaps one of these causes aligns perfectly with the woman you're celebrating this Mother's Day. By donating in her honor, you honor her and contribute to a cause close to her heart, creating a legacy of kindness and generosity that resonates far beyond the gift-giving moment.
