In the lead up to Mother's Day, we always get bombarded with commercials and marketing paraphernalia on the best Mother's Day gifts, from matching PJ sets, fluffy slippers, flowers and chocolates...but what options can we give Mum that show we care about her and all the effort she makes for us, while also caring for the earth and for where the items come from...
The Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand have put together a guide on products that make perfect gifts for Mum including fashion, accessories, jewellery, homewares and more.
Buy buying your Mother a Fair Trade product this Mother's Day, you will be directly supporting a vulnerable community, and ensuring your purchase has a far-reaching positive impact.
Of the approx 1 million livelihoods impacted by the Fair Trade movement globally, 74% are women, and 54% of senior roles in Fair Trade enterprises are women, many of whom are Mothers.

Explore what truly defines a Bolga Basket. Each Bolga basket is a piece of individual expression. The designs, colours, shape and technique is unique to the weaver who handcrafted it. Each basket is an interpretation of life in Ghana, West Africa. Mothers are weaving while cooking, feeding, nursing, cleaning, schooling their children. Fathers are weaving while growing crops and brothers and sisters are watching, learning and developing their own take on the craft. It’s a balance of life and artistic feeling.
