I love to give gifts that give not only to the recipient, but also to the artisans who made the gift. It’s just a perfect way of creating good this energy by supporting and elevating other women. Here are 5 beautiful Mother’s Day gift ideas that will do just that:
1. Prosperity Candles: I love these Franjipani Tea Tin Candles. The tins are hand-painted and when the candle is done, you can use the
tin to store loose tea or tea bags. The candles are hand poured from soy wax, and there’s a choice of 3 tea-inspired scents. The tin comes in a gift box with the artisan’s story. Prosperity Candle is an amazing organization, which helps women in the aftermath of war or natural disasters, to re-build their lives.
2. Bead For Life Maadala Necklace: This is the most stunning necklace. I own one in green and it’s my favorite necklace for this Summer. To find out all about Bead For Life, check out my recent blog.
3. Sacred Mark Soaps: These sweet & spicy soaps are simply divine, and are carefully handmade by women in a poverty-stricken region of
Bangladesh. If you like the scent of Chai, cinnamon, and coconut – you are in for a treat.
4.Floral Tea Set: This gorgeous tea set is so unique because each cup is different. The whole set is beautifully hand painted, and benefits the artists in Vietnam, who might otherwise have to work in a sweat shop to support their families.
5. Silver Scroll Cuff by Catherine Nicole: This stunning silver cuff would make any mother smile. $5 from each sale goes towards an organization called BRAC which works to provide micro loans to girls to prevent them from becoming child brides
