Pasifika Mums are cut differently and don’t we know it? From looking after our nuclear to extended family and the multiple hats they wear within the community and their workplace, they share so much of themselves, so, we thought this Mother’s Day we’d share a gift guide that would help you all show appreciation to the awesome Mum’s in your lives.
This gift guide isn’t just any gift guide but one that showcases lovely gift ideas from Pacific Women-owned businesses. Let’s support these amazing women while giving back to the awesome mothers and mother figures in our lives who pour so much of themselves into us. Let Mum know – we see you, we appreciate you, we love you!
