Motherhood is a story written in moments, in the slow rhythm of everyday life. It is measured not in grand milestones, but in the small, fleeting seconds that slip through unnoticed—the countless lullabies hummed in the dark, the hands held across the road, the scraped knees and runny noses wiped, the meals made without thanks, the clean clothes that appear neatly folded in the chest of drawers each week. It’s the quiet sacrifices that go unseen.

For a mother, time is never her own. It is poured endlessly into the lives of her children. The years of sleepless nights, the many thousand school runs, the endless encouragement, the soothing embraces, the whispered reassurances, and the support she provides through every triumph and every heartbreak. The days may be long, filled with thankless tasks and to-dos, but the years pass in the blink of an eye. One moment, she is rocking a baby to sleep, and the next, she is standing at the doorway, watching as they walk out into the world without her.

But as children, we don’t always see it and we definitely don’t appreciate it. Not at first. We race through our childhood, eager for independence, unaware of the silent sacrifices she made along the way. And then, one day, we realise that the greatest gift she ever gave us was herself.

If a mother’s love is measured in time, one of the most meaningful ways that we can show our own mother how deeply we care is through the gift of time. But time can be gifted in different ways. Some mothers, especially those still deep in the season of raising young children, crave a moment to themselves—a rare, uninterrupted moment to breathe, to rest, to just be. Away from the constant demands that are placed upon them.

A quiet retreat at home can be the ultimate indulgence. A long, lazy breakfast in bed could be made so special. Our Pawi Mango Wood Breakfast Tray makes a unique Mother’s day gift that can be used on Mother’s Day but many other times throughout the year when she needs to take time to herself. This shows that her time is valuable and rest is one of the most important gifts that she can give herself. Our Mali collection of teapot and mugs, handcrafted in southern India, makes a perfect addition to breakfast in bed, it’s tactile finish reminding her to stay present and enjoy the moment. Whilst our Antique Brass Leaf Spoon Gift Set elevates the whole experience and holds the potential to become the perfect heirloom pieces that she can eventually pass down to future generations.

Motherhood is a collection of memories, woven together in quiet moments of love, sacrifice, and devotion. A Mother’s Day gift should be a reflection of that—a keepsake that holds meaning beyond the day itself, something she can treasure and return to time and again.

Jewellery has long been one of the most symbolic gifts, a way of carrying love close to the heart. A delicate gold-finish necklace can become a cherished piece, a reminder of the bond between mother and child. Our elegant Adara drop necklace, handcrafted by fair-trade artisans in Rajasthan features natural labradorite stones beautifully bound in gold plating. Known as the stone of transformation, labradorite is believed to enhance inner strength, encourage self-discovery, and help overcome limiting beliefs—qualities that resonate deeply with the journey of motherhood. A mother gives so much of herself, evolving through every stage of her child’s life, constantly adapting, growing, and pouring love into those around her. Gifting her labradorite is not only a symbol of appreciation but a quiet reminder of her own resilience, wisdom, and worth—something she so often forgets in the act of always giving to others.
