BrewSpoon | Cape Union Mart
We love this nifty product – and if your mom’s into freshly brewed coffee, wherever she, is then she’ll love it too! The BrewSpoon (R199) is a quick and easy way to brew filter coffee–all you have to do is fill with ground coffee, place in a cup and pour water over it before stirring for 90 seconds and leaving to brew for a few minutes. A great gadget to take camping or on hikes!

Jacket | K-Way
At the first hint of winter, the first thing we grab is our puffer jackets! If your mom needs to update her winter look, take a look at the K-Way Women’s Colour block Ember Re: Down Jacket (R2199). Made from 100% recycled down, it’s sustainable–and with two hand-warmer pockets, two internal pockets, elasticated cuffs and hem, it’s also very warm, so perfect for our chilly winters! The jacket also comes with a compression bag, so you can conveniently pack it down in size for easy travel.

Slippers | Veldskoen
For the stylish mom who’s all about comfort, these are a fabulous purchase! The Veldskoen Olive green leather slippers (R1399) are a luxury hybrid shoe, made for warmth and comfort, but also solid enough to wear out on the town. Made from silky Nubuck leather with 100% sheepskin-lined inners, the slippers are perfect for warming up feet by a fireplace on cold winter nights, while the solid TR Veldskoen sole will allow mom to take that at-home comfort outside.

Gifts for Good | Goodbye Malaria
Not only are these locally-produced presents lovely, but the purchase of each will donate much-needed funds to the fight against Malaria. There’s the vegan, diabetic friendly Nova Choc *oh* late range (R20–R24 for 40g, R40–R48 for 100g) that’s available in flavours such as dark chocolate with chilli, milk chocolate with coconut and milk chocolate with salted caramel. The eye-catching cosmetic bag in colourful Shwe Shwe fabric (R180) is a great gift for the practical mom who loves a splash of colour, and it’s lined in recycled PVC so that it’s waterproof too! Last but not least, we love the Sonhos Candle (R350) and its scents of bergamot, lime, mandarin, citronella.

MCC Rosé | Black Elephant Vintners
The pink label Cap Classique (R325) from funky wine farm Black Elephant Vintners is just the ticket for all the fun-loving moms out there. The bubbly is a modern fruit-forward style of Rosé MCC, true to its varietal origin, Pinot Noir. It is bursting with aromas of red berries, blood orange, peach and smokey lees. The palate is medium-bodied, ample and fleshy, with racy acidity, pretty fruit tones and a youthful frothy mousse.
