Five Things: Gifts for a Mother
Mothering Sunday falls on 15th March this year in the UK. Here are 5 pieces between the price range of £40 and £75 which we think would make a wonderful gift.
Essential Oil Diffuser
Since first making and designing our essential oil burners in 2022, this has become one of our most popular gifting items and I too seem to have gifted my fair share to loved ones, including my own mother. The verdict? She loves it and uses it daily. As a gift it is the perfect blend between utility and luxury. We now also sell the Homework essential oil blends.
£75
Candle Holder
We make two sizes of our footed candle holders, a standard to fit a pair of dinner candles and a wider size to fit a stumpie beeswax candle or a tealight. The wider size can also hold a small Kenzan and be used to make small floral displays. I think these make a great gift year round because of their versatility.
£40
Cup
One of our best sellers, our cup is another piece that has gone through several iterations since we first started making them years and years ago. Initially it was designed as a tea bowl but we changed the name to cup because so many people told us they love using them for flat whites or milky coffees. Also cold drinks. The elegant foot ring on the cup elevates it and makes it a lovely shelf object too. You could pair it with a kenzan and display short stems of foliage too.
£40
Faceted Flower Frog
In March we are just beginning to see new shoots appear, early bulbs and flowers emerge, the world is starting to bloom around us. Our faceted flower frogs can be used as a regular vase (without the lid) or as a way to arrange single stems (with the lid). It’s a really distinctive gift for someone who loves the outdoors and maybe likes to bring a few foraged stems back indoors with them.
£62
Enclosed Bowl
These bowls have evolved gradually over the years. Initially designed as a ramen bowl, we since realised they were a bit small (and now make a larger version too) but they are so perfect for other liquid-y foods - broths, porridge, soups and so on, the curved rim helping to contain the contents of the bowl. But it is also just a lovely bowl to have on display.
