Jewelry
A large traditional Ethiopian cross on a gold-filled chain — the statement version of the most recognisable piece of Habesha jewellery there is.
Jewelry
A gold-plated Coptic cross pendant at everyday scale — the low-commitment way to find out whether she wants to wear a cultural piece daily.
Photo Gifts
A frame you can send photos to from another country — the one gift on this list that is really about the distance between you and her.
Home
A multi-layer wooden jewellery cabinet with a lock and a velvet lining — closer to a piece of furniture than to a box, and bought for a collection that has outgrown a dish.
Wellness
A kneading foot massager with heat and a remote — the gift for a mother who has spent thirty years on her feet and will not spend money on herself.
Wellness
A kneading massager with heat for the neck, shoulders and back — the same argument as the foot massager, aimed at where most people actually carry it.
Comfort
Closed-back knit slippers with a memory foam footbed and a proper rubber sole — the small gift most likely to be worn every day until it wears out.
Home
A small rechargeable flower light with stepless dimming — bought for a bedside rather than a dining table, and for the walk to the kitchen at 3am.
Keepsake
A small crocheted rose with a message — the thing you post when you are in another country and a phone call is not quite enough.
