We've got a couple ideas to spare: Care packages from the best florists, swanky meals from the best delivery and takeout, new accoutrements from the best places for shopping in Montreal and forget-me-not trinkets—this city provides more than enough ideas to say thanks.

It's not too late to place an order with chef Maksim Morin's kitchen for this ultra-special offering: These packages containing all kinds of seafood salads, mignardises and other delights can feed between two to four people for $85. If you want to get really fancy, get the plateware options that include either a 3-tier porcelain tray and 2 cloth napkins for $185, or $345 with 3-tier porcelain tray and 4 napkins, boxes of grilled steaks and presentation plates. Nothing like props to make those photos you'll take extra memorable.

Among all the menus we've been seeing from restaurants, few are getting more luxuriant than this with options like fiddlehead Caesar salad, fish and chips with Quebecois turbot, tartare... this menu for two for $70 is made all the more special if you take the champagne option for $140.

This Plateau florist delivers—though dropping in for a pickup order and hand delivering's also an option if you haven't seen your mom in a while. Their online boutique makes the whole process of picking and plucking a gift super easy.
