2023 Mother’s Day Gift Guide: From Sustainable Everyday Essentials to Slow Fashion Statements
It’s that time of the year again when we celebrate the women in our lives who wear multiple hats each day and have one of the most important roles one could take on: our mothers.
For someone so great, it can be a challenge to find the perfect gift to thank them for everything they have done and continue to do. But nonetheless, gifts are still a simple yet significant way to show your love and appreciation for someone near and dear to you.
That’s why we’ve put together a simple list of thoughtfully curated gifts because mothers not only know best, but deserve the best too.
Ollie’s Green Clean Multi-surface Cleaner is made from 100% plant-based ingredients and zero nasties. From spot-cleaning floors to wiping down table counters, this household cleaner is enough to keep your home free from dust, dirt, and bacteria. Thanks to its pH-balanced and toxic-free formula, Green Clean is also safe to use around children and pets.
Here are 6 handpicked LOOQAL items that are sure to put a smile on any mum’s face on this special day!
Cleaning the house is indeed a chore but for mums and mother figures, it’s a chore they would learn to love doing if it meant welcoming their family with a sense of comfort and ease that they need after a long day.
Another great option from the Ollie line is their Dirt Be Gone All-surface Cleaner, a soap-based spray best used on non-porous surfaces. Both surface cleaners are made from either 100% recycled or post-consumer plastic, which helps reduce your carbon footprint at the same time!
From juggling multiple hats everyday, mums deserve a little pamper session from time to time. What better way to do this than with Basic Theory’s Body Polishes?
Similar to how a facial exfoliant works, Body polishes exfoliate the skin on your body and help to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and silky smooth afterwards.
This luxurious Body Polish comes in four aromatic scents: Arabica Coffee, Black Earl Grey, Coconut & Shea Butter, and Lavendula, each serving a specific purpose for various skin types.
The Arabica Coffee Body Polish contains rich antioxidants from the coffee beans that help lighten uneven skin tones while the combination of the Coconut & Shea Butter Body Polish acts as an intensive treatment for dry and dull skin.
For the Skincare-Obsessed: Luxe Botanics Camu Line
If your mumma loves sustainable and clean beauty products, then she’ll definitely love Luxe Botanics’ award-winning Camu skincare line.
Originating from the berry Camu Camu native to the Amazon Rainforest, the Camu line is the perfect gift set for ladies with either combination, dehydrated, or premature aging skin thanks to its richness in Vitamin C and other antioxidants.
The Camu series comes with a cleanser, moisturiser, serum, and mist, which can all be bought separately but let’s be real: we all want the best for our mums, so why not make it an entire set? *wink*
For the Linen-Loving Ladies: Bravo Collection Linen Basics
As long as you live in the hot and humid tropics, linen is everyone’s best friend. That’s why next on the lineup is Singapore-based linen clothing brand Bravo Collection.
While the brand is based in Singapore, all of their clothes are thoughtfully made in Kyiv, Ukraine by skilled artisans who are absolute masters of their craft in contemporary embroidery methods. Using traditional practices, these artisans create the highest quality linen pieces from shirts, trousers, to dresses.
Each piece holds a unique story that can be seen in the embroidered elements, which make for great conversation starters.
If you’re not sure where to start, you can’t go wrong with a bright summer dress like the Olympia Dress or the Marrakech Midi Dress in the stunning fuschia colourway.
But if simpler styles are more of mum’s style, try pairing the Crete White Sleeveless Top with the Black June Shorts to make a cute set!
For the Mums that love to make a bold statement: Olive Ankara Tujuka Circle Skirt
For the brave ones who thrive in larger-than-life prints, Olive Ankara is the way to go.
Characterised by bold and striking colours and patterns, Olive Ankara brings a taste of African culture to Singapore through their garments. Olive Ankara also prides itself for being a slow and ethical fashion brand dedicated to high-quality craftsmanship and the concept of zero waste. Some of their pieces are made in such limited quantities that only one piece per size is available for every design. That’s how you can truly say that you own a one-of-a-kind piece in your wardrobe.
A crowd favourite from the brand is their knee-length Tujuka Circle Skirt in Green that features a side tie waist fastening to complement its flared design.
