Mother's Day is May 10th, but how do we treat Mum so she realises just how important she is to us?
This year is a different year as many of us won't be able to see Mum on Mother's Day so it is really important that she knows we care - remember to talk to her, and ideally zoom or facetime her, on the day. We've crafted a list of gorgeous ethical gifts depending on whether your Mum is a green fingered whizz, an eco warrior or a chocolate lover.
The Chocolate Lover
Whether caramel, raspberry or strawberry and pistachio is your tipple we have a gorgeous chocolate range from Treat Dreams, Loco Love, Pana Chocolate, Loving Earth and The Chocolate Yogi. They are all vegan and delicious.
The Mum Who Needs '5 Minutes Me Time'
I think this is every Mum and I know I crave this and it's something I simply don't get. We can't go to spas or anywhere that could even give us a 5 minute neck massage right now so treat Mum at home. Face Masks are the perfect thing for Mum to use along with Wheatbags for a peaceful hour or two. If someone fancies giving Mum a foot rub (husband is usually dragged into this) that would be lovely. And finish with a luxurious face oil and a cup of relaxing tea, or something stronger!
The Green Fingered Goddess
If your Mum loves the garden or, perhaps, is an aspiring gardener our Grow Kits might be perfect. The Windowsill kits are beautiful and they make it easy to grow micro herbs and greens. If you Mum loves cocktails or cooking she may love the single grow pots. We also have the Urban Composter which is great for gardening enthusiasts and foodies alike and makes composting easy.
The Minimalist
Many Mums want to help the environment we have lots of products she might love. Perhaps she'll love the Green + Kind range of produce bags, bamboo toothbrushes or stainless steel straws. . Maybe she'll love some vegan food wraps or a reusable coffee cup or water bottle. We have a huge range of eco-friendly products at F&F, perfect for the eco-warrior mum.
The Gym Goer
Whether Mum needs a water bottle, protein bar or powder or muscle rub, magnesium, a hair brush or a great backpack to put your gym stuff in we have a gorgeous selection at F&F.
The Sensory Mum
If your Mum loves scents and candles we have a great range of natural soy, vegan candles plus some outstanding cruelty free perfumes.
We also have a beautiful essential oil Pregnancy Collection for the mum-to-be by ECO. Modern Essentials. We have also recently introduced a gorgeous new Butt Naked Rose Gift Pack to F&F which includes some lovely bath salts and a serum; perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day.
The Ethical Stylist
For those women who like to look ethically, and effortlessly, stylish they might love handade sustainable jewellery by Alkimi or Myrtle & Me, sustainable fashion or one of our many vegan bags by Matt & Nat. If you want to give Mum a real treat try one of our Pinatex bags made out of sustainable pineapple leaves.
The Tea Drinker
We have lots of certified organic tea at Flora & Fauna. Love Tea is a favourite brand of ours along with Tea Tonic. We have lovely tea strainers and a gorgeous variety of loose and bagged tea options for the tea loving mums out there.
We have some delicious gift sets from The English Tea Shop including teas with space to write Mum a special note and teas such as Happy Me and Beautiful Me.
