Sony PRS300 Pocket Edition Rose E-Book, £179.97

Gardman Solar Flower Glows, was £5.99, now £1.81

These clever solar flowers will add a touch of colour to borders and pots – and they’ll glow in the dark too, thanks to the solar panels that charge their batteries during the day! Not quite the bunch of flowers your mum was expecting, but an ecofriendly lighting option.

 

Recycled wedding dress cushions, £55

Look in the souvenirs section on designer Zoe Murphy’s website for some ingenious ways to reuse old furniture and material. We love the recycled wedding dress cushions, which have been reworked with these fantastic prints.

 

Mosaics by Anna Tilson

 We love these beautiful mosaic wall flowers made by designer Anna Tilson. Turning vintage crockery into new precious objects, each piece is unique and a brilliant eco gift for mum.

 

Chicken doorstops, £12.97

These cute chicken doorstops are made from quality vintage and reclaimed fabrics. They come flat-packed and simply need to be filled with rice – not eggs!

 

Bean Pod Indoor Mini Herb Garden, £6.99

For mums that love herbs, the Bean Pod simply suckers onto a window, where you sow the seeds and water. After a couple of weeks, fresh herbs at you fingertips – easy!

 

Online magazine subscription

Treat your mum to her favourite magazine with an online magazine subscription – it’s a great way of saving money and, of course, paper! We love Zinio’s digital magazines and books. If you’re not convinced by online magazines, why not try an online magazine for FREE?

 

Reclaimed Timber Mirror, £120

This simply mirror from Tesco direct is made from ecofriendly reclaimed timber. Its dark-stained finish gives it a contemporary look and its portrait and landscape fittings mean you can hang it anywhere.
