Hello! This is a friendly reminder that Mother's Day is this Sunday.

We know how hard Moms can be to buy for. There are lots of great gift ideas we’d be happy to show you in store. and of course you can also shop on our e-store.

Tile?
If you just can’t find that perfect gift, let Mom decide and get her a Jill’s Table Gift Card.

As we began planning for our spring and Mother’s Day front windows this year, a "tea" theme began to emerge. We've recently brought in some adorable "chirping" teapots to the store. Similar to our "gurgle jug" pitchers, these teapots actually chirp. If this cute teapot doesn't put a smile on your face I don’t know what will! They're $68.99 and come in a lovely range of colours. Click here to see them on the e-store.

If a new kettle is also in order, now is the time to take advantage of sale pricing on the gorgeous All-Clad kettle at $134.99 (regularly $174.99).

Stephanie and her team at Teahaus in Covent Garden Market have partnered with us for an added bonus: with the purchase of a chirpy teapot or All-Clad kettle above, you'll receive a free gift box* that includes two teas: Jill's Mother's Day Blend and a caffeine-free Jill's Relaxation Blend valued at $7.99. The gift box also includes a coupon for a complimentary cup of tea at Teahaus. (Thanks Stephanie!)

If you are looking for gifts for any moms who like to bake, consider our 25th anniversary Emile Henry loaf pan. Not only is this a fabulous ceramic dish for breads, cakes, and loaves, this vessel is also ideal for meatloaf, terrines, and more. In continued celebration of our 25th anniversary, the first 25 customers who purchase a loaf pan will receive a free Irish Barmbrack tea bread,
handmade by me and chef Ran. Or if you'd like to try your hand at Irish tea bread yourself, here's the recipe.

At the trade shows we attended earlier this spring, we noticed a significant trend of new housewares in lovely blues. So we’ve put together a Mother’s Day collection featuring gift ideas in blues of all shades. Take a look... it may inspire you!

Everyone knows our favourite knives are from Wüsthof and—just in time for Mother's Day—we've brought in more of their beautiful pastel-handled items from their Classic Color collection in Pink Himalayan Salt, Purple Yam, and a striking new shade: Wild Blueberry. Who says serious knives can't be pretty?

And even better: all Wüsthof 6-inch classic chef's knives are currently on sale for $132.00 (regularly $165).

We continue to add to our line-up of Casafina dinnerware from Portugal. We're in love with their square baker, which is a perfect dish in which to make a Mother’s Day breakfast strata. In fact this strata recipe is among the items I'll be making for a Mother's Day brunch to treat my daughters-in-law this year. This delicious and easy recipe features Peppertree Spice’s new four-onion blend. It's a great pantry staple to keep on hand and can be used in all kinds of recipes. Find it in-store for $7.99.

We're looking forward to the eventual completion of the upgrades underway at Covent Garden Market. This will likely be hard on the market's indoor and outdoor vendors during construction through the coming months so we hope you'll continue to support them. I had my first visit of the year with the outdoor market vendors and farmers last weekend and it was wonderful to reconnect with these incredible people who work so tirelessly to bring us their amazing products every Saturday (now located at Market Lane during the upgrades).

Here's to the beauty of spring and to all the devoted moms out there. As always, we are looking forward to seeing you in the store.

–Jill

P.S. You may have heard Covent Garden Market will be closed on Mondays, but don't worry... we've got your back for downtown groceries. Jill's Table is open Mondays from 10 to 5. Street parking will be even easier on Mondays now, and don't forget the Honk Mobile promo code "CORE" gives one free hour.

We're planning some "Marvelous Monday" in-store promotions too, so stay tuned!
