2. Portable Water Bottles and Mugs

These would be befitting gifts for everyone. For our mothers and our planet. Plastic water bottles and non-biodegradable Styrofoam coffee cups are one of the leading single use plastic polluters in the world.

Glass Jars filled with more ingredients make for a wonderful gift idea. The jars would come with small gifts like handmade earrings, premium flavoured coffee, biodegradable beauty products etc assembled as per the likings of our mothers.

Everything that goes on the dinner table today is available in a less expensive and environment friendly material.
