Gift guides / Mother's Day · UK March · Spain May
For the hands that fed everyone.
A gift for the kitchen that raised you: hand-cut olive wood bowls and boards from Andalucía, each one the only one of its kind. Mother's Day falls in March in the UK and Ireland, and the first Sunday of May in Spain — we ship for both.
Every piece is one of a kind — if something above has found another home by the time you visit, the full shop always has what's just come off the bench.
A gift she will actually use
The best Mother's Day gifts earn a permanent place: the fruit bowl on her counter, the board that comes out when family visits. Olive wood is food-safe, easy to care for, and each piece carries its own grain and story — including the tree it once was.
Good to know
When is Mother's Day in the UK and in Spain?
In the UK and Ireland, Mothering Sunday falls three weeks before Easter (usually March). In Spain, Día de la Madre is the first Sunday of May. Order about ten days ahead for tracked delivery from our Spanish workshop.
How do I care for an olive wood bowl or board?
Wipe with a damp cloth, never the dishwasher, and rub in a little olive or food-safe mineral oil now and then. Cared for like that, olive wood lasts generations — care notes are included with every parcel.
Can it be sent directly to her?
Yes — prices never appear on the packing slip, and every parcel includes the piece's story and care notes, ready to give.
