Taylor’s Ethical Mother’s Day UK Gift Guide
For UK Mother’s Day we asked our Head of Brand Partnerships and mom to Ayla, Taylor, to share what she’d love for Mother’s Day. In this editorial, you’ll find the perfect sustainably minded gift for the different women in your life!
A Beautiful Bouquet – Petalon Flower Delivery
You can’t go wrong with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, especially for the mom that already has everything she needs. Petalon Flower’s is a longstanding favourite of the whole Rev team and is always my go-to when sending flowers. Not only do they have a B Corp Status, but they are certified carbon neutral and donate 100% of their end of year profits to UK conservation projects. On their 85 acres of land, half is dedicated to growing beautiful local flowers for their orders and the other half is devoted to local wildlife. They have the most beautiful arrangements available for pre-order right now for Mother’s Day!
Maternity Activewear - Jorgen House
Jorgen House aim to create maternity and beyond clothing that gives more to the planet than it takes away. Through smart design, they have sought to create enduring pieces that move across women’s multi-faceted lives with ease and grace. They source the highest quality sustainable and recycled yarns, creating lasting products that will adapt and move with you through the changing states of womanhood. They recognise that maternity doesn’t end after the fourth trimester, it’s the beginning of a new lifetime.
A Spa Moment in – Organic Skincare
If the mom in question can’t make it to a spa easily, gift her the essentials to pamper herself and her skin at home. For treatments there is nothing more luxurious than the Eclat & Gommage Extraordinaire Duo Kit by La Fervance. The Eclat boosts skin hydration and visibly reduces fine lines, while working on skin elasticity and firmness. The Gommage is a beautiful natural exfoliant that instantly softens and smooths the skin, leaving skin brighter and plumper after use. To pair with the treatments, the Super Serum Rituals Beauty Kit by ilody are the perfect duo to combat aging and boost hydration. In this kit, you’ll find ilody’s hydrating radiance serum and collagen serum, which together feed the skin powerful ingredients like tremella mushroom, bakuchiol, Persian silk tree, and kombucha. This duo is a perfect cocktail for every skin type. Lastly, pair all of this with ilody’s Kansa Wonder Wand, an Ayurvedic beauty tool that has been used for over 5,000 years for a reason. It is a wonder for promoting lymphatic drainage, de-puffing the skin, and sculpting the face – plus it just feels amazing!
More Skincare! - Team Dr Joseph
For Team Dr. Joseph, nature, with its fascinating and highly intelligent plant world, has always been their priority. Respectful handling of its resources is crucial. They select the most effective plant substances and refine them with gentle methods to make them fruitful for your skin. With over 35 years of experience in organic skincare production, they can draw on a wealth of knowledge. They have continuously refined their expertise over the years and have been adhering to their holistic philosophy since 1986.
Cosy Knitwear - HERD
HERD is a pioneering sustainable luxury yarn and knitwear brand. By sourcing fibres directly from a collective of farmers and harvesters they maintain control of creating superior wool. Their signature Upland Yarn is made from 100% Bluefaced Leicester fleeces within just 150 miles of the farms in Yorkshire, North West England, where the climate provides perfect conditions and abundant rich green grass. HERD is proudly additive free, each exquisitely hand-finished piece made without toxicity. Seasonless luxury bursting with character to love forever, and 100% naturally biodegradable when returned to the soil; a truly circular, regenerative ethos.
An Organic Wine Delivery – Raw Wine
If the mom in question loves wine, look no further than Raw Wine’s, who have one of the best curations of organic, natural, and biodynamic wines from around the world. The wine industry is a male dominated world, which is another reason we love Raw Wine because it is founded by Isabelle Legeron MW, who was noted as one of the 50 most powerful women in wine. Her eshop is actually the largest section of natural wine in the UK, so there is absolutely a wine for everyone on Raw Wine. Each wine has a great written up profile, making it seamless and user-friendly to pick the right wine!
A Beautiful Piece of Jewelry – Adriana Chede
You truly cannot go wrong with a piece of jewelry to let that mom in your life know how incredibly special they are. A physical reminder to mom that she is loved and appreciated! Adriana Chede Fine Jewellery is one of my favourite UK based makers, as all her pieces are handmade using responsible practices with recycled materials. Her pieces also range in price, making her gorgeous creations very accessible. Her Gold Creole Hoops are timeless and truly would suit any one at any age. Another item I love from Adriana’s collection on REV is the Éclair Chain Bracelet with a beautiful diamond. It is effortlessly chic and would sit beautifully on the wrist as a standalone accessory or joined by an assortment of bracelets.
A Thoughtful Read - Yoga For Motherhood
A fantastic gift to give any mother is London based yoga teacher Naomi Annand’s book, Yoga for Motherhood. A mom herself, a teacher with over twenty years experience in yoga, and the owner of the East London yoga studio, Yoga On The Lane, Annand really knows what she is talking about. A book every mother should have on their shelf! It is a resource for moms to help navigate the different emotions that come along with motherhood – the emotional lows and highs. The book walks you through bread-led sequences to calm the nervous system and uplift a tired body – things most mothers can definitely relate to! I’ve loved this book personally and think it is a beautiful resource for parents.
Fragrance - Ffern
Ffern is a natural perfume maker. Everything about their fragrance-making process serves a single end: To connect their wearers to nature through perfume. From the ingredient growing, harvest, extraction and fragrance development through to the blending and barrel ageing, they try to act as responsible custodians of these incredible natural resources. This is reflected in their ledger model – rather than bulk manufacturing perfume and shipping it worldwide to be sold in airports and department stores year after year, their fragrances are small batch, and limited edition by their very nature.
Organic Bedding - Casa Parini
Casa Parini is an Italian specialty textile brand founded by Viola Stancati that produces premium bed linen using 100% organic hemp, one of the world’s most eco-friendly crops. Soft and breathable, Casa Parini’s sheets and pillowcases are cut by hand and tailored by the seamstresses of Colori Vivi, a social enterprise that employs women migrants and refugees in the city of Turin. Hemp requires little water, no pesticides and it helps detoxify and enrich the soil in which it is grown.
