This Mother’s Day, Montréal-based scarf-maker NimiNimi has partnered with the Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario (POGO)—the collective voice of the childhood cancer community, committed to ensuring all children with cancer, and their families, have equitable access to the best care for the best possible outcomes—for a special treat. With every online purchase of Voilà Mes Souhaits regular ($300) and pocket ($80) scarves, 30 per cent will go to POGO’s ongoing efforts in supporting survivors and families.

More than just cuddly balls of fluff, aby chicks ($17) can help feed a family with their nutritious eggs, provide an income for women and teach young girls important poultry management skills to crack open a brighter future. They are also the perfect gift for the mom raising her own young chicks, or the soon-to-be mother hen who’s about to hatch!

For Mother’s Day, Marc Cain has designed a limited-edition "Heart" charity bag ($120), from which partial proceeds will be donated to Plan International’s ongoing efforts to support equal rights for women and champion children’s rights. The bag features a leather-stitched heart motif that symbolizes a mother’s unconditional love for her child, and is being championed by Suits actress Sarah Rafferty, to boot.
