Mother’s Day Gift Guide:

Handmade Goods For All Mom Figures

All mother figures — Moms, Caregivers, Pregnant Friends, Mentors, Transgender Parents, Grandmothers, and the many forms of Bonus Moms — do so much to comfort and care for their loved ones. They’re the ones who know just what to say, the ones who are only a phone call away, and the ones always with us in memory, even if not here physically.

Moms of all kinds are deserving of daily doses of celebration, and our wish for them on Mother’s Day is to feel extra special and loved. We rounded up gift ideas from our collection that are personalized, thoughtful, and handmade with fair trade principles by artisans across the world; they’re gifts you’ll be proud to give your incredible mamas!

No matter what you choose — a custom candle or a pair of gold hoops — you’re supporting women who are building brighter futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.

P.S. If you’re a mom here reading this right now, we hope you spend the day doing something that makes you feel good, whether that’s napping, eating your favorite meal with your family and friends, or taking a long bath.
