After doing some extensive travel the past year to multiple climates we started to appreciate the flexibility of lightweight knits such as alpaca to keep you warm and stylish when the temperature suddenly drops 20 degrees when the sun goes down. One of our favorite finds is this poncho from Yanawara, an ethical knitwear brand designed in New York and handcrafted by their artisan ateliers in El Alto, Bolivia. We love this poncho especially because it comes in a multitude of colors, is easy to fold and carry and can be worn in a variety of ways whilst looking quite luxurious. It is handwoven 100% from the finest alpaca. It is lightweight yet warm and it features a fluid design that moves gracefully with you. One size fits all and it can even be unisex. The alpaca wool is sustainably sourced from local communities in the Highlands of Bolivia through a process that involves a mutual breeding, this means with care and respect for the animals and the environment. Sisa means “woman who decides” in Aymara, a symbol of strength and self-determination and what better way describes the job of being a mom! Yanawara also carries a beautiful ethical home section.
Flamingo Estate is a luxury brand located in the hills of Los Angeles that specializes in creating products the slow way. That means growing and sourcing their materials, working with local farmers, harvesting their own goods and creating products using ancient practices with skilled artisans. We came upon Flamingo Estate at a friend’s home who was in love with their candles and we knew immediately Flamingo Estate was going to be in The Local Artisan Guide’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide. We picked Prinsesstårta, a scent inspired from the Principessa Cake from Sant Ambroeus (my not so guilty pleasure). It was a brilliant idea to create a scent from this famous cake that was much loved by Swedish princesses as when you slice it the aroma of lemons, almond marzipan and vanilla cream bring a smile to your face. This candle uses Heliotrope flowers to replicate the almond marzipan, along with a combination of cinnamon, lemon peel and musky Amber for the base. The Prinsesståra candle uses a vegetable wax and is hand poured in Los Angeles into beautiful recyclable glass containers. Even the packaging is made using materials from responsibly managed forests, including some recycled paper products. What sold us also was their statement that was perfect for Mother's Day, “Prinsesstårta Candle is a tribute to the mothers in our family: complex, strong, comforting, and sweet. And you can have as much as you want and you’ll never get fat.” A bonus is that Flamingo Estate donates a percentage of their profits to fund organizations in Los Angeles caring for animals and restoring their habitats, starting with The Lange Foundation and Farm Animal Refuge. A win/win!
The Local Artisan Guide was so happy when Enarai first reached out to us. The brand produces the product we travel the world to highlight. Enarai (the phonetic spelling of 'N.R.I.', a legal status which stands for Non-Resident Indian) was founded by Kanika Issar who is also the designer. She works with Indian artisans who have been skilled at the ancient craft of creating dokras. A dokra is an ancient Indian tribal metal craft that uses a lost-wax castingtechnique to create non-ferrous metal objects like brass and bronze. Enarai connects an ancient 4,500 year old tradition of craftsmanship to a modern and global audience. The dokra metal handles on the Enarai handbags are literally pieces of art. The dokras are objects that depict daily scenes from tribal culture such as dancers, musicians, ornaments, animals, birds and jewelry. We are featuring the Dari Noir bucket handbag which is made from soft vegetable tanned Indian cow leather that is made with a non-toxic, natural, slow and artisanal treatment process. The handbag comeswith an adjustable & detachable strap and is H:18cm, D:12cm. This style belongs to a one-time, limited-edition series and was created by Mr. Praphulo, a 6th generation tribal artisan. If you want to see how the dokra is made just click here. This is the perfect gift for the discerning mother who has a collector’s aesthetic and values history and artisanship. She will be the envy of all her friends and you will be promoted to favorite child.
Lana Dai is a ceramic artist who has evolved from a career as a Product Designer to the more visual and aesthetic art of porcelain. Her focus has been creating and replicating flower forms in which she creates in porcelain a variety of delicate flowers with their various petal shapes and sizes. Dai designs vases, dishes, objects and even ceramic lighting fixtures. We love the Porcelain Flower Bowls which we highlighted as a Mother’s Day Gift. Her collection includes a variety of flower types and colors. Dai can reproduce the porcelain bowls on her site or custom create what colors and forms you think your mother would love. For artwork purchases or commission inquiries, please email lanadai@gmail.com. Prices are available upon request. This is the gift that your mother will love as it is a piece of art made by a local artisan just for her.
ILENIA CORTI JEWELRY - MESSAGE HOLDER WITH HEDGEHOG
Ilenia Corti is an Italian jewelry designer who comes from a family of jewelry designers based in Valenza, Italy, a city known for gold. With her love of nature, Ilenia became inspired early on to create her own brand and work on creating magical landscapes with her jewelry designs which include nature, forest creatures and insects, all the while using different colored gems and enamel. The jewelry is rich in detail and depicts a microcosms of glimmering beauty. Her designs have attracted collaborations with luxury brands that included an 8-year partnership with Valentino Garavani, leading the men’s and women’s jewelry categories, a collaboration with Maison Margiela, a partnership with Virgil Abloh for Off-White, and many others. Our recommendation for a Mother’s Day gift is her “Message Holder with Hedgehog” This unique piece is a message holder pendant. Crafted in gold-plated silver, it features a refined cylindrical shape designed to hold small messages or cherished thoughts. The design is enhanced by a delicate hand-painted enamelled hedgehog, a symbol of protection and sweetness, like your mum (well most mums). The pendant comes with a brass chain. This handmade piece will show your mother you are thinking out of the box when thinking of her for Mother’s Day. You can even add a sweet message inside letting her know exactly what you think of her. Also for such an exquisite piece of jewelry it is quite an affordable gift.
Jacques Torres, fondly known as Mr. Chocolate, is a world renowned, award winning chocolatier and the first artisan chocolatier in New York City to start from cocoa beans and make his own chocolate. Jacques prides himself on specializing in fresh, handcrafted chocolates using premium ingredients free of preservatives and artificial flavors. The beautiful designs make for lovely and delicious gifts and for Mother’s Day we picked this “I LOVE MOM” 12 piece collection of bonbons to show mom how loved and appreciated she is. The selection includes their most popular selection of eight assorted signature bonbons and four creamy Belgian milk chocolate or 60% Belgian dark chocolate with a touch of white chocolate on top to create letter bonbons that are filled with a smooth soft center of either all milk or dark chocolate. This is the perfect gift for the foodie mom and even better is that it is quite affordable. It’s a way to show your mom she can have an artisanal gift even if you are on budget.
NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN - MOTHER’S DAY BOUQUET WITH STORE BOUGHT BLOOMS CLASS
Sending or giving mom a bouquet of flowers is a time honored tradition however you may feel it is not a very original gift. But what if your mother received a spectacular bouquet of flowers and it was created by YOU? We found this class in creating Mother’s Day floral arrangement at the New York Botanical Garden however these are classes are usually available at any public botanical gardens or your local florist. What is unique for this class is that you'll learn how to compose your own unique bouquet using simple design principles and a lush variety of economical, store-bought blooms. Although the class is $155 ($139 for members of NYBG), you will learn a useful skill that will save you money in the future by creating bouquets for your mother, friends and even yourself. You can dazzle your mom and she doesn’t even have to know that you created a floral masterpiece from flowers you found at Trader Joes or your local deli. Your mom will not only appreciate this gift but be proud of your new found skills.
Let’s not be beauty gatekeepers! If your mom is like my mom, she loves keeping herself as youthful and healthy as possible. That includes a beauty routine and products that are way more effective than the beauty brands your mom grew up with (heck, what I grew with!). That brings us to cêpoLAB, a Korean beauty brand at the forefront of ethical, eco-friendly beauty. cêpoLAB is the world's only beauty brand for skin strength, featuring the patented ingredient CLEPS® as its core component. We highly recommend BIOGENIC ESSENCE 90%, as what living skin truly needs is not just simple ingredients, but the power to recover on its own. There are only five ingredients in Biogenic Essence 90% which minimizes the use of artificial colors or fragrances. Your mother will greatly appreciate a gift that helps her recover the essence of the youth of her skin.
ASSOULINE - “MOTHER AND CHILD” BY CLAIBORNE SWANSON FRANK
If your mother is an avid reader as my stepmother is, a book is always a gift that will be appreciated and loved. For Mother’s Day we recommend “Mother and Child” by Clairborne Swanson Frank, a coffee table book from the world renowned book publisher Assouline that combines the beauty of mother and child photography and thoughtful commentary on motherhood from iconic well known families. In her latest body of work the artist set out to explore what modern motherhood means in the 21st century as she delicately tasks each mother to look within themselves and express what being a mother truly means to them. “Mother and Child” embarks on this profound journey that reminds us all of the power of motherhood and the great gift of love. It is a gift that expresses to your mother how you are grateful and acknowledge the strong bond shared between the two of you. It’s one of those rare coffee table books that you actually want to pick up and read and she will cherish it.
This is an aspirational, Big Momma of our gift guide recommendations. Remember when your parents sent you to summer camp as a kid (if you were lucky enough). Now you can return the favor and send your mom to camp. Camp Château that is! Camp Château is a women only camp located in a French château where for a week you get to curate your own adventures and select activities, experiences, and connections that most interest you and bring you joy. It’s an all-inclusive sleep-away camp (you will be sharing your room just like in camp but way nicer) that provides inclusive spaces for women, where they can rest, rejuvenate, and have fun. There is an array of activities you get to chose from. Think yoga, flower arrangement, cooking classes, sightseeing, wellness, art, wine tasting, crafting and so much more. Or you can also relax and just be in an amazing setting. The camp has proved so successful the founders (all women) decided to add another château to the program. There aren’t that many spaces left for 2026 so book ASAP. If you are a daughter this can be a mother/daughter trip, or she can go with her friends or go alone and make new friends. Either way we guarantee your mother will be thrilled to go (I want to go!!). If you are loving this gift recommendation but either cannot afford it or your mother is not that mobile there is actually “Pocket Château”, which provides an online camp community for $22 a month. It can be accessed on the internet or mobile web. It includes weekly electives, live events, community chat, community posts and more. As amazing as gifts can be the memories of an experience at Camp Château will last a lifetime.
Motherhood is the hardest job on earth, don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. So let your mother know before it’s too late how much she means to you and how much you love her with a gift that shows that you really thought of her.

Commodity partners exclusively with perfume houses that prioritize both environmental and social responsibility when sourcing raw materials from around the world and their packaging is more sustainable, as Commodity is working toward fully recyclable, reduced-impact packaging. We love their gifts sets especially “The Mini Wardrobe Set” which contains each fragrance in its best-selling Scent Space version (the container has three different settings a closely-projecting Personal, a noticeably unique Expressive, and a room-filling Bold version.) so that you can rotate your scent. Perfumes are such popular Valentines Day gifts and with this gift set that is unisex and convenient you can’t go wrong.
ONCEPT - TORONTO MEN’S RETRO SNEAKER

What’s a quick way to a man’s heart? A smart set of stylish trainers that are also sustainable. In comes Oncept, a brand that strives to have a low carbon footprint. Oncept has a process called “re-speckled” this is a process that uses leftover rubber from other manufacturing and combines this excess material with new rubber to produce new outsoles. Re-speckled is a certified process that uses 55% discarded material which saves hundreds of tons of waste in landfills. They utilize sustainable bio based memory foam made from castor oil (plant based) and recycled rubber. They source their leather ethically and use recycled nylon (made from plastic water bottle) and other recycled materials. That said the brand does not skim on style. Toronto mixes retro style, comfortability and eco-friendly design (seen here in Flame, offered in five color ways). It’s definitely a win/win gift for everyone.

SPIRITED AWAY - RITUAL ZERO PROOF - TEQUILA ALTERNATIVE
Spirited Away - Ritual Zero Proof - Alternative Tequila - $35
Sharing a Valentines Day cocktail is a romantic way to start an evening or Valentines Day meal. However many people these days are forgoing alcohol yet miss the taste and the social bonding of having a cocktail to toast their love. That is why we highly recommend from our favorite alcohol-free wine and spirits store, Spirited Away this zero proof tequila alternative, Ritual Zero. “Crafted for margaritas, Ritual Tequila Alternative brings the heat to your favorite cocktails. Greeting you with a rich golden hue, a traditional blue agave aroma opens up on the pour. Ripe tropical guava is underscored by the mellow spice of black peppercorn as the flavor grows, going deeper with charred oak and mesquite smoke. Bright Mexican lime gives way to a clean, spicy finish, with a kiss of cracked sea salt for good measure.” Ritual’s tequila alternative has a high taste score of 94 points from the industry-standard Beverage Testing Institute. It’s all the taste and ceremony of tequila without the hangover and poor decision making tequila can incur (speaking from experience).

With so many gift guides for Mother's Day, The Local Artisan Guide has decided to write about what not to get your mom for Mother’s Day.
With so many issues these days between tariffs, boycotts and unsustainable products we are toeing the line in trying to purchase products as consciously as possible. It is important to avoid and support brands that go against our values and are detrimental for the environment or the population. With that we are advising what products you should stay away from for Mother’s Day and offer some gift ideas that are win/win for mom and the planet.
ETHICAL CHOCOLATE BRANDS
Bringing mom chocolates on Mother’s Day is a popular gift for mom, unfortunately many of the world’s most popular chocolate brands have been found to not be ethical in their in farming of cocoa and have been complicit in the worst form of child labor including slavery. According to the website slavefreechocolate.org, chocolate brands to consider boycotting are:
Nestlé
Mars
Hershey’s
Cadbury
Ghiardelli
See’s Candy
Russel Stovers
World’s Finest Chocolates
Lindt
Tony’s Chocolonely
Guittard
Brands that are complicit are:
Barry Callebaut
Mondelēz
Olam
Cargill
When buying chocolate for mom (or anyone) you should investigate to see if the brand is Fair Trade and and sourced without child labor issues. Because there is not enough demand for Fair Trade certified chocolate the issue of child labor and slavery are still prevalent. Because of poverty there are 2.3 million children around the world at risk of being in slavery because of these large chocolate conglomerates. Here are some of the fair trade logos to look for in ethical chocolate brands.
Fair Trade logos to look for in ethical chocolate brands.
New smaller chocolate brands are are calling themselves “from bean to bar” which as they pride themselves on for being ethical. Slave Free Chocolate recommends chocolate brands from all over the globe that are ethical and some of our picks from their recommendations are as follows:
An unforeseen result of the recent monstrous tariffs that were slapped on China was vendors and factories from China and parts of Africa claiming to sell high end luxury brands directly from the manufacturer, skipping the middle man and providing the customer with an inexpensive product. These “manufacturers” were on Tik Tok and other social media formats hawking their wares and as a result many fell for counterfeit products.
There is some truth to the narrative that many high end brands have their products made in China. As a former production manager for handbags I saw high end labels in factories my brands were being produced in. A legal loophole on how an expensive high end luxury brand can have their products produced in Asia or Africa and still say, “Made in Italy”, or “Made in France” is to have the product mostly made in these factories and then “finished” in European factories. Many European factories have closed in the last few decades as producing in Europe is not financially feasible to produce a profit. Many of the factories that remain in Europe are more artisanal and produce small batches of products. The larger volumes are made in China or Africa and then finished in factories in Europe.
Tik Tok has seen counterfeiters promoting their illegal goods.
The products that have been shown on Tik Tok and social media are from counterfeit factories that produce goods at much lower prices because they use a labor force that includes child labor, trafficked individuals, unsafe working environments, unregulated factories and are run by criminal cartels the world over. So please do not buy mom one of these handbags thinking you are gifting her the “Birkin Bag” of her dreams. Instead look to gift your mother a local and ethical brand whether it is an apparel brand, or handbag and accessory brand. Better to give your mother a beautiful gift that is made with Fair Trade regulations, original designs and no child labor. Some small, local ethical brands we recommend for mom are:
Sending flowers to mom on Mother’s Day is a gift she will always love and appreciate. 1-800 Flowers is a large conglomerate of florists however we recommend either sending her from your local or her local florist or even better is a CSA that delivers flowers. A CSA for flowers will deliver her organic flowers from a local farm and the subscriptions usually run by season. For what you would usually pay for one bouquet, your mother will receive a few bouquets for a great price and it will help a local farm. Win/Win!
In these days of boycotts for brands that either are unethical or donate to organizations you might not feel are part of your value systems shopping small, local brands is a great solution. Your mother will get a gift that is more unique and thoughtful and a local brand will be supported which in these days of trade wars will probably the difference between their business surviving.
It’s time to consciously shop for all your products not just for Mother’s Day. So do the research and see what brands align to your values. Boycott those that don’t. Nothing makes capitalism work better than a good old fashion boycott.
So whether it is flowers, jewelry, fashion, home decor, etc., let your mom know that you are not only thinking of her but gifting her a gift that thinks of others. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms that think of everyone else before they think of themselves!
