Saffron Marigold knows handmade and handcrafted. Together, we’ll find the right gift for her this Mother’s Day. For the home and from the heart, celebrate Mom with a thoughtful gift that lasts beyond a box of chocolates or a bouquet of flowers.
1. A thoughtful Mother’s Day gift of the heart
This special spin on the classic heart-shaped locket necklace feels just right for a Mother’s Day gift. Beautiful hand-pressed natural flowers form the face of the locket. Add your photo (or one of you and your siblings when you were little) for an incredibly thoughtful and nostalgic handmade gift.
2. An elegant and thoughtful Mother’s Day gift
If Mom loves to entertain her girlfriends for a game of cards, book night, or brunch, then give her a set of our gorgeous block printed cloth napkins. These botanical cloth napkins are crafted by hand and meant for everyday use.

Whether your mother loves to travel or whether she treasures fond memories of her hometown, you can give her this sweet personalized puzzle map as a token of her favorite place.

5. The gift of choice
Our collections of block printed linens are designed to bring you to other places, real or imagined. Give Mom the gift of choosing pieces from her favorite Saffron Marigold collection. Our gift cards are always the right size!
6. Candles that spark joy
These aren’t ordinary candles; these are candle that you will feel good about gifting. Our artisanal candles are handmade in Bredasdorp, a small agricultural town near the Western Cape shoreline. The studio is dedicated to providing creative, steady opportunities for local women, who are often the primary wage earners in multigenerational households.
7. For the mother who is a natural nurturer
If your mother is kind who has a gift for nurturing her home, her garden, and her people, then this is the gift for her. Fill a personalized harvest basket (like this one from Pinecone Home) with tools, seed packets, and a new pair of gardening gloves.

10. The perfect boho chic gift for the treasure hunter
Maybe your mom’s a maximalist who loves to adorn her shelves and sills with trinkets, or maybe she loves the thrill of finding unique treasures that nobody else has. If that sounds like her, then present her with a few hand-carved tea light holders that will put a smile on her face. (Read here for more gift ideas for boho moms.)
11. A meaningful gift for the mom who loves family dinners

Our block printed tablecloths and runners are a warm and beautiful gift for the hostess with the mostest. (Pictured: the round floral tablecloth from our Woodland Ferns collection.)
12. A cozy and luxe Mother’s Day gift idea
Hear us out: this isn’t “just a robe.” This is the kind of garment that makes Mom feel like she’s living the luxe life. With a gorgeous floral print in super soft cotton, she’ll love wearing our block print kaftans and kimonos at home just as much as she’ll love showing it off on her days out.
13. A practical gift that’s beautiful AND handmade
When shopping for Mother’s Day gifts, we often throw practicality out the window. In fact, sometimes it’s the everyday things that are the most meaningful to gift our loved ones! Present Mom with a new bag that she can use as her library or book club bag, a day trip bag, or a pretty tote for travel. Our new French Riviera print is just the thing for spring and summer daily adventures.
14. A sweet set to romanticize every day
Pretty things aren’t only meant to be used for special occasions, though we do find our hand block printed toiletry bags make traveling even short distances feel a lot more glamorous. They come in a set of three, and the kits come in a variety of patterns.
15. A practical Mother’s Day gift she’ll love
If Mom loves a fresh start for spring and summer, then give her a gift she’ll use and love. Our vote is for a beautiful new block print bedding, like this patterned duvet cover. With a complementing pattern printed on the other side, our reversible duvet covers will turn Mom’s room into a beautiful sanctuary.
16. A hand-embroidered quilt that lasts a lifetime
Perhaps Mom would rather have a comfy throw she can use to keep warm on her favorite armchair. Try a hand-embroidered throw made with four layers of cotton and two layers of vintage saris. This heirloom-quality linen will be a bigger hit than just a bouquet of flowers! She could also hang it up as a unique tapestry, fold it over the foot of her bed as a bedding accent, or drape it casually over a sofa to make the living room more inviting.
17. A moment of peace with a personal touch
Moms are busy–if that’s not the understatement of the year, we don’t know what is! With that in mind, give her a moment of delectable, luxurious peace. This tea gift basket from The Tea Can Company is totally customizable: you get to choose Mom’s favorite flavors.
