Wish your Mum a happy Mother's Day with flowers...but not the last-a-day throwaway variety. These floral finds are for reusing.
1. This pretty Polli wooden brooch is made from sustainable plantation Australian hoop pine by two young Australian designers. No petrochemical cellophane in sight.
2. Instead of sending flowers to your Mum at work, send something she can take back day after day. The BUILT NY Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote (Lush Flower) is fun and functional alternative to lunch-on-the-go in plastic bags - and it's insulated (no wilted leaves here).
3. So much prettier than a plastic disposable water bottle, the SIGG 600ml bottle (Flower Sprinkle) is light and durable. Perfect for Mum's handbag.
4. This Kate Knapp card will outlast any posy, especially as it is pretty enough to frame. Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn, Hundreds of bees in the purple clover, Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn, But only one mother the wide world over.
5. This beautiful Envirosax shopping bag (Bloom) packs down to easily fit in a handbag ready for it's moment in the sun.
6. A proportion of sales from this Blue Q recycled pencil case (Flower Fields) fund programs of The Nature Conservancy worldwide. That sounds like good news for wildflowers.
