Mother's Day Gift Ideas
(includes gifted samples, paid promotion, affiliate link marked *)

For those of you who would like to celebrate Mother's Day (14th March 2021) then I have put together a little gift selection. As lockdown continues I am sure many of you, including myself are going to be reliant on postal deliveries. These gifts would be suitable for all occasions so it may also be worth bookmarking for future celebrations.

ethically handmade scarves which are all one-off, unique, luxury pieces, made with recycled, organic, ethical yarns where possible as well as ensuring a zero waste policy in the production of the scarves and a no plastic post service. The Not Your Mum Not Your Milk scarf is 100% Organic cotton and could easily appeal to vegans wishing to put across their message.

artisan, hand crafted chocolate that is suitable for almost everyone including vegans and multiple allergies. They work hard to ethically source all ingredients and use eco-friendly packaging. For Mother's Day there is the Limited Edition Pinks Gift Box, choose Dark Raspberry or Strawberry Blonde flavours (or one of each), it's gift wrapped and letterbox friendly delivery.

For those that enjoy a glass of wine how about Mother Rock! an organically farmed estate in Swartland South Africa and the wines are bottled without fining or filtering so suitable for vegans. Mother Rock do a lovely Grenache Noir with 96pts from Jamie Goode (London-based wine critic) and a skin-contact “orange wine” Chenin Blanc

I've introduced my family to award winning soaps from Lily & Rabbit and that's why I believe they would make lovely gifts. With so many of us trying to do our bit for the planet, a solid soap bar is ideal plastic free solution. The Bee Naked bar is formulated with local honey from Harrogate bees and organic Irish Oatmeal, it's an all natural exfoliator without fragrance and suitable for sensitive skin types.

The Super Choc Bundle is a great option. 8 bars of yummy, organic chocolate packed up into a letterbox sized box and you can include a personalised gift note. 

I don't hide the fact that I'm a big fan of Odylique skincare and they have lovely gifts set options so I recommend you browse their website. I can also offer a 20% off using the code SUGARPUFFISH (affiliate link/code)

I think Nourish London’s Relaxing Retreat Gift Set or Sleepy Pillow Mist are perfect for Mother's Day or any other occasion you have coming up.  Nourish products are award winning, organic, vegan and cruelty-free.

Melt 
The Melt Starter Kit is a fun activity you can do at home and a fabulously fruity way to make vegan and cruelty free wax melts. Choose from a range of fragrances including Blueberry, Coconut & Lemongrass, Cranberry, and Pomegranate & Hibiscus. Every kit contains a step-by-step guide and enough supplies to fill your home with scent for up to 180 hours. Use code SUGARPUFFISH when checking out before 15th March and get 10% off your order while stocks last.

A range of beautifully wrapped gifts which can be sent directly to loved ones. Silvan Skincare is suitable for Vegans, they offer stylish sustainable and recyclable gift wrapping with hand written notes plus free UK delivery. 

A beautiful collections of gift options choose between a cleansing balm, hand bam, luxury bath oils or candles, I'm sure you will find something to suit your budget to make Mother's Day extra special

Natural, Organic and Vegan Mother's Day Gift Ideas(this article includes a PR sample marked *)

I'd like to be mindful that Mother's Day (31st March 2019) can be a difficult time for some and appreciate that I am fortunate to be able to indulge in this celebration. I have collated some gift ideas specific for Mother's Day but the brands mentioned of course offer gifts all year round for every occasion.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas Natural Organic Vegan

Mother's Day in the UK falls on Sunday 26 March 2017. I appreciate that it can be a difficult time for some but I am lucky to enough be able to shop for my Mum. I've put together a selection of ideas which I think anyone would like regardless of the occasion.

Pure Thoughts - I've chosen from this site the Lavender & Sweet Orange Mineral Bath Soak as it sounds like the perfect way to unwind. Not only is this bath soak suitable for Vegans, it does not contain SLS and artificial colours and fragrances.

Sugar Loaf Soap Company - have a lovely collection of gifts. I particularly like the draw string jute bag containing rose geranium heart shape soaps. Hop across to Sugar Loaf's facebook page and you'll discover a code for 15% off gifts during March.

Skin & Tonic - everyone loves a lip balm so that is why I picked out this set from Skin & Tonic containing all four of their certified organic balms.

Kiss the Moon - I discovered Kiss the Moon at last years Free From Skincare Awards and they focus on night time well-being. I picked out the Dream After Dark Balm which is pulse point balm with a blend of lavender, chamomile, bergamot and cedarwood. I recommend checking out the entire range of products.

Evolve Organic - you all know I have some favourite Evolve products so no surprise I'm recommending their gift sets. The one picture above contains luxury trial sizes of Superfood Shine Shampoo, Superfood Shine Conditioner, Nourishing Hair Elixir.

Nectar & Bumble - this site is full of beautiful gift options but may I suggest the Beefayre Mummy Bee Votive Candle, a natural wax candle with lavender & geranium essential oils.

Vegan Chocolate - most of us enjoy a sweet treat so can I suggest to you the delicious Ethico, Consider It and Booja Booja
