Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is fast approaching. It’s a special moment when we get to give back to a woman who has done so much for those around her. What do you give to someone who has already given so much? The best gift is probably one that involves quality time to relax and spend with family. However, time is hard to come by and sometimes, gifts can seem to fill in the void even if it’s for a little while. Shopping for the perfect gift for mom can be tricky though. To help you out, I’ve rounded up a list of some of my favourite Mother’s Day gift ideas from reputable brands that are sure to make your mom feel special.

1. Bonita Ivie Prints

 
There’s nothing more pretty to give mom than this beautiful print card from Bonita Ivie Prints. The card is one out of a range that celebrates African culture with the use of bold colour and patterns synonymous with traditional West African prints, also known as ‘ankara.’ Pair the card with some flower or one of their note pads to make your mom feel like a one-of-a-kind woman. This card currently retails via the online store for Bonita Ivie Prints.

2. Papaya & Co

Does mom love shopping for groceries or other items? She will love this tote bag from Papaya & Co. which will hang lightly over her arm as she walks down the street. They are made from 100 per cent African wax prints and are very colourful to behold. Unlike other tote bags, this one comes with a front pocket for mom to store little items such as her phone or car keys. Love it? Get it via their Etsy store.

3. The Little Market

Protect your precious surfaces while sharing a refreshing drink with mom using with these beautiful, hand-woven coasters. Water or cocktails? It’s your prerogative so you can take your pick and place your drinking glass on them. Your mom will definitely love the fringed details. Each purchase of these coasters from The Little Market goes towards supporting artisans in Rwanda who are working at All Across Africa. Buy it here.

4. Valeri Christina

Valeri Christina makes jewellery for women that are a creative blend of her African and European heritage coupled with her travels to different parts of the word. Mom will love the Nymphaea earrings – a pair of beautifully handmade earrings. They are elegant, lightweight. A great way to add a finishing touch to an outfit. Purchase them here.

5. The Black Box

Push the envelope and take things a step further by getting a gift mom will continue to love long after Mother’s Day is gone. The Black Box is a subscription box with items from black-owned businesses. Not only will you be getting a cool gift for mom, you would be supporting the community in the process. The spring edition has the following items: a tea canister with a diffuser and loose leaf tea from Utopia Tea House, large candle and “stay lit” matches for Posh Candle Co., wooden salad spoons from Reflection Design, whipped body butter and lip butter Butta Body Care and finally, natural soap from Oatmeal Beauty. Get a box for mom here.
