Gift Mom the Perfect Accessory: A Stylish Bag for Mother’s Day
Sticking to the gardening theme, we love the Vendula London Garden Centre collection of quirky accessories, wallets, purses and bags. Vendula London does not produce ‘fast fashion’ and a large proportion of their products are handmade, including the applique, shape cutting and stitching. Their attention to detail is exquisite offering a beautiful keep sake gift idea.
Each item is created by highly skilled ‘artisan’ workers with many years of experience and care going into each beautiful item.
Their styles are unique and individual, and their bags are made from touchy-feely, animal-friendly vegan leather and bright synthetics. If you like to stand out in the crowd, this is a website worth visiting.

Amarula African Gin is crafted with love in South Africa and has won two consecutive Gold Awards from the Spirits Business Gin Masters since its launch in the UK in September 2022.

Mother’s Day 2024 also coincides with the marula fruit harvest where elephant families gather and signal to locals when the fruit is ready to be picked. Elephants are so important to this exotic fruit, that the Amarula Trust supports their conservation, including via HERD which looks after baby elephant orphans. In addition, £1 per litre of every Amarula African Gin sold goes to the Amarula Trust to support the local communities and the women who make distinctive tassels which dress every bottle.
Amarula Cream Liqueur is a personal firm favourite. It is made from the delicious Marula fruit and is distilled and aged in French oak for two years. It is then blended with velvety cream to create the smooth taste of Amarula which is best savoured over ice.
