Mother's Day · £35–£80

Hélène has just taken on an allotment

Hélène retired last year and took over a plot at the local allotment. She is practical, keeps good tools for decades and has no patience for subscriptions or technology that needs an app.

What Karido understands

The details that turn a generic idea into a personal one

The person

Gardening, birdwatching, crosswords, historical novels and her allotment.

Their taste

Look for. Traditional, floral, durable tools, wood and steel.

Avoid. App-connected technology, chocolates, cut flowers and subscriptions.

The moment

Occasion. Mother's Day, May.

The detail that matters

Her secateurs are blunt and her knees hurt when she kneels to weed.
