8 Gifts for Travel Enthusiast Moms Who Buy Sustainable

February 15th, 2022

The Fife Arms, the 19th-century hunting lodge in The Scottish Highlands owned by art world power couple Iwan and Manuela Wirth, is the perfect spot for mom and the whole family. But those who can’t make it across the pond immediately can still bring a piece of the destination home. Thanks to the Fife Arms’ online shop, guests and fans can find artfully curated products for every type of mom.

FOR THE MOM WHO COULD USE SOME ZZs:

Don’t all moms need a little R&R? The new Rosie Sugden for The Fife Arms cashmere sleep time gift set ($185) includes an eye mask and a cable-knit hot water bottle cover in 100% Scottish cashmere. The set comes in olive and burgundy.

It doesn’t get more cozy than The Fife Arms tartan blanket (from $294) which draws on colors and textures of Braemar and comes in 100% lambswool and 100% Scottish cashmere options.

FOR THE FASHIONISTA MOM:

Designed exclusively for the hotel, the Iseabal Hendry circular bag ($1,722) is handmade in Scotland, with a focus on zero-waste principles, and comes with a handle and a strap as well as card holder in contrasting deep burgundy suede.

An indulgent and highly personalized option is a custom tartan and tweed design gift box ($1,728). Each gift box contains a voucher for a bespoke tweed or tartan design, a short history of the craft, description of the stages involved, as well as some swatches and examples of what can be created.

FOR THE DOG MOM:

The exclusive dog collection is perfect for Fido’s mom. The collection includes a chic coat (from $45), almost-too-pretty-to-chew bone ($18), a tweed and leather leash ($49) and collar ($42), all made with the Fife Arms house tweed, created by Scottish textile designer Araminta Campbell. There’s even a dogrobe (from $52) – yes, a bathrobe for a dog.

FOR THE ADVENTUROUS MOM:

Alec Finlay is one of the most distinguished contemporary artists of Scotland, a recent recipient of the Cholmondeley Award where the Society of Authors in the UK honors distinguished poets. His words, ‘the lowly foot gets you up high,’ are carved on a handmade wooden walking stick ($346) – perfect for a hike or just a leisurely walk in nature.

FOR THE MOM WHO LIKES TO ENTERTAIN:

If mom’s idea of getting outside is a bit more ceremonious, this picnic basket ($572) should do the trick. Handcrafted in England from handwoven willow and leather with hemp rope handles, the interior is lined in the Fife Arms tweed and contents include: classic Ghillie kettle, glass and cup holder, four enamel plates and cups, four glass tumblers, stainless steel cutlery, a cotton tote bag, and a Fife Arms waterproof, 100% wool picnic blanket.

The ultimate gift for fans of The Crown and Downton Abbey, this exclusive tea set for two ($106) includes two large teacups and saucers. What’s more, the package comes with a tin of Brodies 1867 Royal Sottish loose leaf tea. One of the founders, Robert Drysdale, is credited to be the first tea manufacturer in the UK to produce breakfast tea. It is said that Queen Victoria enjoyed the blend so much that she brought a supply from Balmoral to England, where it was renamed as ‘English Breakfast Tea.’
