From Nina’s considered, personal wishlist to Maya’s sculptural, textural edit, each Mother’s Day list has offered a different lens on what makes a meaningful gift. Next up: Kath, mum to Charlie, Maddy, and Issey, and part of the team at our Avalon store. Her picks lean tonal, tactile, and just a little moodier, with an instinct for pieces that feel as effortless as they are refined.
Kath
Mum to Charlie, Maddy, and Issey
There’s a natural ease to Maya’s eye—drawn to form, texture, and pieces that quietly transform a space, an instinct shaped in part by her work as an artist. Her Mother’s Day wish list leans sculptural, with an emphasis on materials that speak for themselves: stone, wood, brass, clay. These are objects you live with, move around, and come to appreciate more over time.
Kath’s Wish List: 5 Gifts She’s Eyeing
1. Blacksaw Premium Baby Alpaca Blanket
“I’ve had my eye on a Blacksaw blanket for a while now. There is something so compelling about the dark, slightly moody aesthetic of this one, and it’s the perfect tonal match for my TV room.”
Soft, weighty, and beautifully made, this is the kind of piece that becomes part of your daily ritual. “As we head into the cooler months, I’m looking forward to this being the permanent layer I curl up with on the couch.”
2. Artwork by Emma Bigg (Only In-Store)
“I’m specifically drawn to Emma Bigg’s large-scale landscapes. Her use of black and white captures a specific kind of stillness. It’s a piece that provides a sense of scale and, of course, ties in beautifully with our interiors. Honestly, though, I’d be happy with any of her pieces.”

3. Bundu Textiles Long Sleeved Handwoven Kaftan
The Bundu kaftan feels like a natural extension of Kath’s predominantly neutral wardrobe. Handwoven in Bihar on a multi-shaft loom, it has a beautiful weight that makes it ideal for autumn. “I love pieces that feel easy but still put together,” Kath says, “and this is exactly that.”
4. Hokis Rendezvous No. 3 Fragrance
“I’m heading away for a few weeks, and I’ve been giving a lot of thought to my travel scent.”
Rendezvous No. 3 feels like the one. “It’s inspired by the Mediterranean, which is exactly the energy I want to carry with me.” The 10ml size makes it an easy companion, slipping seamlessly into a handbag or carry-on.
5. Elwyn New York Into the Woods Silk Bandana
“I like to play with accessories to add colour or break things up a little.” Rich in tone and endlessly versatile, this silk bandana brings just the right amount of contrast to a pared-back look. “As a head scarf, tied onto a bag, or wrapped around my neck, it adds just the right amount of something.”
