Online and in the shops: Bangles, flowers, bath bar and headphones

Each stackable Triple Bangle of silver and rose gold bracelets, €40, is held together with a choice of birthstones and has an infinity charm suspended from a Karma ring with the Ti:Amo lotus flower detail; www.newbridgesilverware.com

FLOWER POWER: A bouquet of flowers is a traditional way of showing our mammies how much they mean to us on Mother’s Day and choosing a bunch of Fairtrade flowers this Sunday, will also help ensure a better deal for the families who produce them.

This year’s Fairtrade Fortnight (February 29 to March 13) celebrates 20 years of the Fairtrade mark in Ireland.

Aldi has been sourcing Fairtrade products for the past five years, including coffee, chocolate and bananas and sold two million Fairtrade Roses last year.

They are grown at the 140 hectare Sher Project in Ethiopia, which provides a school, hospital and leisure facilities for the growing workforce and their families, with 10% of the €5.99 purchase price going directly to the workers; www.aldi.ie

BUBBLE BAR: Another way to ‘say it with flowers’ is with a bubble bar from Lush.

New bathtime treats for Mother’s Day this year include a reusable Tulip bubble bar, €7.95, scented with clary sage, ylang ylang and jasmine absolute.

There’s also this friendly little ladybird Bubble Bar, €5.45, for a hot floral bath, filled with sweet geranium oil to aid relaxation and a little peppermint oil to revive mind and body; www.lush.com

UNBEATABLE: If your mum likes to listen to music at the gym or while out for a walk, these Beats by Dre Urbeats In-Ear Headphones, are one of this year’s Mother’s Day gift suggestions from Argos.

They are available in a selection of colours including Metallic Pink and are currently reduced to €59.99; www.argos.ie
