A feminine walking stick can make a thoughtful and stylish Mother’s Day gift for a cane user. Charlotte Gillan, managing director of walking stick specialist Classic Canes explains, “There are estimated to be over four million stick users in the UK and, for women in particular, there can be a stigma attached to having to use a cane. However, if it is a pretty, well-designed and elegant model, it is a completely different experience to an ugly hospital-type stick. “When women discover that they can accumulate a wardrobe of canes to match all their different outfits, they can have great fun collecting them and accessorising with the latest models. Many people enjoy using a cane that represents their hobbies or interests as it makes a great conversation-starter as well as a fashion accessory. Models featuring dogs, gardening tools and garden birds are all great choices for Mother’s Day.” T: +44 (0)1460 75686 E: info@classiccanes.co.uk www.classiccanes.co.uk Elegant, Stylish Water Misters by Wholesale Gifts Tomorrow are made of solid polished brass or chrome with an easy-press plunger to deliver a fine mist that gently removes dust from plant surfaces and raises the humidity. Watering plants is essential but misting them can be just as important. Use on indoor plants that require high humidity in addition to water such as ferns, herbs, orchids, cuttings and seedlings. Succulents and most other house plants also benefit from a misting of water occasionally. Humidity levels in most homes tend to be quite low (especially in the winter when the heating is on). While most houseplants can handle these warm and dry conditions, adding some moisture can help them thrive. Leaf curling, yellowing, and leaves with brown edges and tips are all signs that plant may not be getting enough humidity. www.wholesalegiftstomorrow.com This sparkly, elegant candle from the Pintail Candles Occasions range is the perfect treat for all our marvellous Mums.

Like all Cinnamon Aitch cards, each is designed and made entirely in the UK. ‘Margo Loves’ RRP £2.50. T: +44 (0)121 773 6833 E: hello@cinnamonaitch.co.uk www.cinnamonaitch.co.uk Sarah Watmore, founder of Miss Milly , says, “We love our mums, and as mums we love pretty much anything our kids go out of their way to do for us or give to us as a gift. But what we don’t know is, unless we live with them, whether we’ll be able to see our Mums or not on Mothering Sunday in 2021. So, offering your customers gifts that can be easily posted will be important, and jewellery and accessories are great for that. “They’re a lovely gift in their own right but, if chosen carefully, they can also be a frequent reminder of the giver and their family.” Miss Milly has a selection of real flower jewellery that works well as an occasion gift and endures far longer than a real bouquet. Or what about a colourful, fun keyring that could go everywhere with the recipient? The company also has almost a full zoo of animal and bird designs, from cows and cats to geckos and giraffes, so hopefully something to appeal to every Mum. For other gift ideas, the magnetic brooches are great for moving between clothing, bags, hats and scarves and no fiddly pins or clasps. Alternatively, a pretty Miss Milly facemask lanyard is ideal for when she’s working or out shopping, and needs to take her mask on and off. A additional idea for gifts that will be posted is to also offer customers a special piece of pretty postal packaging as a small additional sale.
