Mother's day is always so tricky, you want to gift something unique, not cheesy. Cute not childish, but most of all you want to gift something that your mum will want to use, and not have on display for a day before finding that "special place" in the back of a cupboard.
With this in mind I have curated my top 10 ethical gift ideas for mother's day; hope you like the selection!
1. Hair Perfume / Heat Protector Gift Set
Handmade, Vegan, Chemical Free, Sustainable, No Animal
Testing
These light sprays are both heat protecting and shine
enhancing and have the added convenience of refreshing your hair with a light
scent that can be layered up throughout the day. Completely natural the fragrances included are Floral (Geranium, Bergamot and
Vanilla), Citrus (Grapefruit, May Chang and Jasmine) and Musk (Neroli, Vetiver
and Patchouli) – a good selection to suit your current mood.
Handmade, Recycled Silver
This adjustable sterling silver bangle is made from eco friendly sterling silver and can be personalised. Available in three sizes, the ends of the bangle are hammered flat to create a soft finish.
The message will be hand stamped with 2mm capital letters and then oxidised so that the letters are dark and stand out.
3. Feminist Wooden Heart Brooch
Handmade, Sustainable Wood
This is a statement piece for your beautiful mum! A heart shaped sustainable plywood brooch, engraved with
'feminist' in hand lettered text. The brooch back is a 25mm bar pin and
is very lightweight which means it will not pull on your clothing. The brooch
measures approximately 4cm x 3cm (1.6 x 1.2 inches).
Handmade, Vegan, Recycled
This is an eye-catching inner tube flower necklace, handcrafted
by artisans using recycled/reclaimed bicycle inner tubes. Measures Length
6.5cm; Width 6.5.
Handmade, Eco-friendly Inks
For your delightful mum, this design has been screen printed onto 100% cotton by hand with in non-toxic water based inks. The cushion is backed with a black and
white gingham checked cotton and measures 29 cm x 45 cm.
Handmade, Organic, Chemical Free, No Animal Testing
Does your mum need a little pampering? This foot soak, foot scrub and foot softening balm are made
from 100% Natural and Organic Ingredients. They come in a lovely gift box
and the products are safe for the planet and Eco friendly. They are

trade ingredients.
Recycled Cotton, Eco-Friendly Inks
For a mum with a sense of humour and doesn't mind the odd tipple or two, this is a great tote bag. Made from 100%, 4oz recycled cotton, they are a great size for shopping,
measuring 42cm x 38cm with 33cm long handles.
Fairtrade, Handmade, Recycled Leather, By-Product
If it's a unique gift you're after, this bag is perfect. No two bags are the same colour, these bags are
made from recycled and factory offcut leather that may have otherwise been
wasted, which is why each bag is unique in finish and colour. The offcut bags
have less impact on the environment, reduce waste and help create work in the
developing world. Features one inner zip pocket, inner black lining,
magnetic fastening to main compartments, three inner compartments (two
divisions) and an adjustable/removable strap.
