Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

The Fazeley Flow

Meet the perfect small watering can for keeping your interior jungle in tip-top condition. Its elegantly curved non-drip spout delivers pinpoint watering accuracy, helping avoid splashes around your potted plants. Available in hand-polished copper, or galvanised steel in a green, it comes beautifully boxed and makes the perfect present.

Looking for a seasoned all-rounder? HAWS’ metal jug will happily water your pots or proudly sit on your shelf as a flower display for those freshly cut blooms. Built for the ages, its heavy gauge galvanised steel offers total rust protection for indoor or outdoor use.

Twin Flame Candles

This 100% natural candle made from two hand-dipped tapers carefully wound together is perfect for special occasions and every moment in between. Each unique piece promises approximately 2 hours of (clean) burn time, slowly dripping into captivating golden sculptures that only add to the aesthetic, while releasing a subtle honey scent.

Ard Cushion Cover

Black Owned Mother's Day

This unique piece carries the soul of old Damascus, reflecting the vibrant life of the traditional checkered-tile courtyards (or Ard Addiyar). Its design, rich with the nostalgia of family gatherings, children’s laughter, and nature’s palette, brings a narrative of resilience and beauty into your living area.

HA KO Leaf-shaped Incense

Delicately crafted from Japanese washi paper and infused with natural essential oils, each one of these dreamy incense leaves offers a distinct scent to evoke different moods: No.1 Spicy Jasmine, No.3 Elegance Citrus, No.5 Smoky Cinnamon, No.6 White Floral, No.7 Green Grass, and No.8 True Aqua. If you can’t bear to burn these beauties, they’ll double as potpourri.

Kalam Wrap Towel

Black Owned Mother's Day

Adorned with a cotton braided fringe, the exquisite fabric, which is ethically crafted in Ethiopia using naturally dyed, locally sourced cotton, makes for one high-quality towel that can also double as a picnic blanket, a throw, or a beach cover-up.
