Beloved bird

The friend of art glass will be delighted by the iconic glass bird! The Flycatcher from Iittala's Birds by Toikka series charms with its wonderful colors on the open shelf or side table. Re-launched by Iittala in 2021, the Flycatcher makes a tribute to the traditions of glassblowing as well as to the glass artist Oiva Toikka. Each bird is made by mouth-blowing in Iittala, Finland.

The timeless thirst-quencher

If finding the perfect gift feels difficult, take a good look at your mom’s hobbies. If your mother appreciates exercise, outdoor activities, and lively leisure time, her sports equipment may require a little upgrade. The simplistic Stelton’s Keep Cool water bottles are made of coated steel, keeping the drink cool for up to 16 hours.

For the love of food

Is your mother a passionate cook? The home chef will fall in love with Ferm Living's larch wood Chess cutting boards, which can be used in the kitchen, table setting, or as part of the interior. A beautiful cutting board will delight twice as much when you serve homemade treats on top or give a promise of cooking moments together.
