Get mom a dish for her trinkets from Pelang Ceramics, which artist Jason Tengco named after his late mother Perla. Pelang Ceramics offer a variety of earthenware “crafted with intention and love, celebrating both form and function.” These quietly refined pieces make lovely additions to mom’s space: incense holders to help keep her centered, vases for flowers to spruce up her vanity, or catch-all trays for a chic place to set down her favorite jewelry. Dinnerware, featured in a Makati restaurant, would add a sophisticated touch to any culinary-inclined mom’s beloved cooking. Order through @jtengcopottery on Instagram or tel. no. (0917) 541-0382.
Women’s leather bag from Our Tribe. Our Tribe leather products are as enduring as a mother’s love.

Let Mom unwind with the deliciously scented OXX Body Wash collection (P180 each) from Anko. Make her smile with the Main Character Energy variant. Anko is at Glorietta 2 in Makati City, anko_philippines on IG, and Anko Philippines on Facebook.
For the mom who likes to get her steps in, get comfy shoes made with style and sustainability in mind. SJ Ibiza’s insole is made of 100-percent recycled materials, while the upper features recycled PU materials, a recycled polyester mesh lining, extra cushion and recycled polyester laces. Available at sjlifestyle.ph.
For moms who can’t leave the house without bringing a lot of stuff, get a Baggu. The Standard Baggu was inspired by plastic shopping bags but is made with 100-percent recycled ripstop nylon—a reusable bag she can whip out when she goes shopping. You can also go for the popular recycled heavyweight nylon crescent bag—the large one can even fit a laptop. If your mom always ends up shopping a lot when you travel, the Carry-on Cloud Bag is a good idea. It’s foldable and comes in a little zip pouch (perfect for throwing into your luggage) but once unfolded, you’ll see that it’s big and roomy and can easily be attached to your trolley for easy transport. It also works on its own as a weekend bag for your quick getaways with mom. All Baggu products are made of at least 50-percent recycled material and, except for the leather ones, are machine-washable. Baggu’s Spring 2025 collection is available at Certified Calm branches, www.certifiedcalm.com, and Certified Calm ShopeeMall and LazMall.
