Day 105 / 365
This week has basically turned into a Jaclyn Beales take over, which is more than fine with me, and as I see no need to halt our harmony, I thought I’d post this great roundup of mother’s day gift ideas she kindly created exclusively for Leotie Lovely!
I’ve also posted my own mama’s day round up a week or so ago, which you can click on to here.
In case you’ve missed the past few posts by wildlife advocate, Jaclyn Beales, I’d love to introduce her again! Jacalyn writes on the issues and conflicts threatening the world’s wildlife and advocates for the conservation of Africa’s lions. You can follow her heart wrenching stories on her blog here. She also, super kindly, writes post on beauty and other palm oil products when she’s inspired to search for a new product herself, and she gives them to one of her fellow writers to publish (like this one!). I’m super grateful to have her work shared on here and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do! Below are her words.

For all of us North American’s out there, Mother’s
Day is just around the corner. And because we’re all busy working
peeps, I’m willing to hedge a bet that many of us will go with the ol’ standby
gift of flowers and maybe a pair of slippers or a scarf for good measure. But
in the spirit of gift-giving — and the fact that moms are just
straight up awesome — it’s
time we all collectively stepped ‘er up a notch and got our mothers
something truly unique and, well, not from the slipper family.

Whether she’s your best friend and confidant, the family
matriarch, the one who grills your significant others about their
job/education/family values, or all rolled into one, our moms deserve a token
of appreciation on a day that dates back as far as the ancient Greeks and
Romans. That’s why we’ve curated this handy gift guide
chalk-full of pretty stellar ideas gifts you can give mom this Mother’s
Day. Or any day because, let’s be real, our mothers are champs for
putting up with us all these years, am I right?

For the Candle Enthusiast
If your mom happens to love candles and green living, then
she’ll probably love these candles, too. Noble Beeswax Candles,
a Canadian brand based in Vancouver, makes cute candles from 100% Canadian
beeswax, while Woodlot produces palm-free candles made with renewable coconut
wax. Both Canadian brands are perfect choices for gifting a deliciously-scented
candle to the candle enthusiastic moms out there this Mother’s
Day.
When Your Mom Deserves a little TLC
Who doesn’t love a spa day? No one. But
sometimes our busy moms don’t have the time to spend hours at a
spa for some R&R. Try gifting her a beautiful bottle of bath oil or a salt
soak instead, which can help her relax and unwind…sans day spa.

For the Moms who Appreciate a Good piece of Jewellery
Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but these stunning
statement pieces will definitely be your mom’s. From delicate
earrings and aztec-inspired wrist bling, to geometric adornments for the neck,
we bet your mom will be impressed with your shopping skills. It’s
certainly no coincidence that these pieces can be worn together, maybe
completing your entire gift list? Yas Queen!

For the Spiritually in-tune Mom
If your mom is anything like mine, then you know all about
smudging your space and clearing out bad vibes. We’re all about light
and positivity, and you can gift your mom with exactly that thanks to these
beautiful clearing tools and spell kits to keep her most lived-in spaces free
of the bad stuff and full of calm.

For the Chef
For moms who love cooking up a storm or trying new things, you
can’t go wrong with a unique kitchen accessory or artisanal,
small-batch condiments. Like Bees Wrap, an innovative and green method for
conserving foods, or Kitten and the Bear’s delectable
compotes. Both items go hand-in-hand and are the perfect pairing as a gift for
the culinary goddess in your family.

For the Wine Enthusiast
For those moms out there who like a good glass of vino, forgo the
standard bottle of wine and opt for a subscription box instead. Club W, a wine
box subscription service with a focus on sustainability, allows you to gift
subscriptions for wine boxes to loved ones so they can try new wines and learn
more about their favourites. Whether our moms are sommeliers or just straight
up wine lovers (aren’t we all?) this is a unique and pretty
cool gift for Mother’s Day!

For the Green Thumb
We can’t all be gifted with the miraculous
ability to keep plants alive (for some reason, houseplants and me just don’t
mix) but moms tend to have the magic touch. If your mom is a garden enthusiast,
or simply loves flowers, let her try her hand at starting her own garden. From
kits to seeds, this is a wonderful way for your mom to start her own garden.
