MOTHER’S DAY GIFT GUIDE

It feels like we’ve just had Christmas and seen in the start of 2021 and already Mother’s Day has crept up on all of us!

This year Easter is a bit earlier, falling on Sunday 4 April and Mothering Sunday is always 3 weeks before on the 4th Sunday in Lent, so is on Sunday 14 March. This unfortunately means England and parts of the UK will still be under tight restrictions. But there is light at the end of the tunnel and there are lots of small businesses who can still make Mother’s Day a day to remember for you mum.

Here is a short round up of gift ideas from some lovely small businesses:

Justin Duance Contemporary Jewellery

Sandcast 9ct Yellow Gold Pendant

I love the idea of this pendant made by Justin Duance! It is made using beach sand which not only leaves a beautiful texture but can also be personalised with sand from somewhere that is meaningful to the wearer. You can send in your own sand or Justin has an extensive collection of sand from around the world for you to choose from.

Lemon Sherbet Handmade Earrings

Add some zing with these handmade polymer clay earrings from By Coya. By Coya creates playful one-of-a-kind sets of earrings inspired by food.

Tropical Floral Reusable Face Mask

Despite the PMs announcement about restrictions being lifted over the next few months, I think masks will stay part of our lives for quite some time. Here’s a stunning tropical floral mask by Francis + Louise, lined and with adjustable ear ties.
