lemlem

One look at the lemlem website, and you’ll be ready to book your next beach vacation. The clothing, swimwear and accessories line was founded by Ethiopian-born model Liya Kebede to inspire economic growth in Africa and preserve the local art of weaving. Every piece in the collection is ethically made by African artisans. You definitely won’t be able to choose just one thing, so give mom and gift card and let her decide!

Etsy

If you can’t decide on the type of gift you want to give, why not let mom choose herself? Etsy is an online marketplace loaded with handmade and vintage items. Candles, hair care products, clothing and jewelry are just a few of the items you can find made by Black sellers on the platform. Mom is sure to find something she loves.
