As a mother (I have two children) I´m in charge for 365 days, to make the little ones life nice and beautiful. Actually, I do not need a gift and yet I am thrilled when the two sweeties tinker something beautiful, pick some flowers, cover the breakfast table or write a nice card. On Mother’s Day we always do calmly something together, because familytime is for me the greatest. For all those who are looking for a suitable gift for Mom, I once put together my personal, sustainable favorites.
Gift ideas for Mom

Lovingly handmade, the Berber Bag of Abury is Favorite Bag and Artwork in one. And you can do with it something twice: Once for the recipient and on the other hand, for the artisans who make them. Because they get next to a fair wage their working 1:1 paid in education. All about Abury found here.

Flower your Home
Flowers on Mother´s Day are indeed a classic. But the refined lamp Milo, designed by the Polish design studio Lightovo Agnieszka Janukanis and Zuzanna Krauze is something special – not only looks ultra smooth, they are the plants (Warning megatrend: succulents) a stylish home. Available as table and pendant luminaire each made of blown glass and oiled wood (birch / beech).

Water is life…
… and healthy. That’s why it is so important, that you take a large enough amount of liquid every day. The perfect combination of transport and stylish (sustainable!) Accessory, the glass bottle from Soulbottle. My favorite? The model Koi – because the Koi is a lucky charm. The Soulbottles are climate neutral produced in Germany.
