Locally Sourced Flowers

Flowers are always a cherished choice for a gift - their vibrant colours and delicate fragrances can brighten anyone’s day, making them a thoughtful gesture. Whether presented as a simple selection or an elaborate bouquet, they consistently serve as a timeless token of appreciation and love. Choose locally sourced, organic flowers or consider potted plants that can last beyond the occasion, reducing waste and supporting local businesses. Companies like Bloom and Wild, which has achieved B-Corp certification, offer sustainably sourced options in the UK, Ireland, as well as France, Germany and Austria.

Experience Gifts

For a zero waste Mother's Day present, consider gifting an experience rather than a physical item. Activities such as cooking classes can provide an enjoyable and memorable time together. Divertimenti, for instance, has a great selection of classes that cater to various culinary interests. Alternatively, exploring floristry courses at Daylesford can be a creative and delightful way to spend time, allowing you both to immerse yourselves in the art of floral arrangement. An afternoon tea is a delightful gift for Mother's Day, offering a perfect opportunity to indulge in a variety of treats. The Petersham Nurseries provide an exquisite selection that caters to every dietary preference, including vegan and vegetarian options. Or for a  relaxing experience, a spa day could be the perfect choice, offering a chance to unwind and rejuvenate together.  Gifting an experience gives you the option of spending extra quality time with each other and making more memories that you can cherish.

Sustainably Made Jewellery

Jewellery is an exceptional choice for Mother's Day, from delicate necklaces adorned with meaningful pendants to elegant bracelets that can be personalised, the variety available ensures there is something to suit every mother's taste. Sustainably made jewellery represents a thoughtful and environmentally conscious gift choice, particularly for meaningful occasions such as Mother's Day, which celebrates the special bond between mothers and their children. Brands like Alighieri, with its positively produced ethos, feature handcrafted pieces made locally in the UK. Each item features unique and distinctive style, slightly imperfect designs that celebrate the beauty of natural formation. YSSO is a unique mother-daughter brand dedicated to crafting exquisite handmade jewellery just outside of Athens. Each piece reflects the rich cultural heritage and artistry, making it an ideal choice for celebrating Mother's Day. It’s not only gifting a beautiful item but also sharing a meaningful story that embodies the bond between mothers and daughters.

Home Decor

Choosing home decor as a gift for Mother's Day can be a thoughtful way to show appreciation for the special woman in your life. Consider selecting items that reflect her personal style and enhance her living space. Whether it’s something for the table, the kitchen or simply a delightful display piece, well-crafted home décor is always a splendid choice. Or even a one-of-a-kind vintage item can add character and a sense of history, creating a unique focal point in any home. Investing in quality décor ensures that each piece not only has a purpose but also tells a story, enriching the surroundings with its presence. These gifts not only add a touch of beauty to her home but also serve as lasting reminders of your affection. We obviously have to mention our own vintage and made-to-order ranges here!

Subscription to a Sustainable Service

Consider gifting a subscription to a service so that she gets a treat every month even after mother’s day such as a book subscription, flower subscription or a beauty subscription.

A book subscription makes a thoughtful and unique Mother’s Day gift, providing a monthly literary treat that can be eagerly anticipated. Consider Bookishly, which delivers a classic book each month, perfect for mothers who cherish timeless literature and wish to revisit the joy of beloved stories. Alternatively, Happily Ever After offers a diverse selection that includes thrillers, crime, romance, non-fiction, and historical fiction, catering to a range of tastes and preferences. Both options promise to enhance her reading experience and keep the excitement alive throughout the year.

Flowers can brighten any home, making them an ideal Mother's Day gift that brings joy. A beautiful seasonal arrangement of flowers and greenery is not only visually appealing but also adds a refreshing touch to any space. For those with pets, a pet-friendly selection is available, ensuring a safe environment while enhancing the aesthetic. Arena Flowers offers a range of ethical subscription options, allowing you to choose from 3, 6, or 12-month plans. Deliveries can be tailored to your preference, whether weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. This thoughtful gift ensures that the joy of fresh blooms continues long after Mother's Day, serving as a delightful reminder of your appreciation.

Surprise your mother this Mother's Day with a gift that nurtures her beauty and well-being. The Natural Beauty Box company offers an exclusive subscription service designed for those who appreciate the benefits of pure, natural skincare. There’s a choice of  options: a box every 3 months, 6 months, or even every other month, tailored to suit her needs. Each box is curated to include only the finest natural skincare products, rich in beneficial nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. These thoughtfully selected ingredients work synergistically to keep skin moisturised, soft, and smooth, while also helping to prevent premature ageing. With every delivery, your mother will discover products that promote a radiant, healthy glow, ensuring she feels cherished and pampered.

Fair Trade Chocolates

Opting for a mother's gift of fair trade chocolate is a genuinely thoughtful choice that beautifully combines indulgence with a sense of responsibility. By selecting chocolate from reputable brands like Cox & Co. or Tony’s Chocolonely , you can ensure that your treat is not only undeniably delicious but also ethically sourced. After all, who doesn’t love chocolate?
