Mother’s Day: How about a gift of time, meaning and truth?

Temps de lecture : 4 minutes

Swiss Mother’s Day is fast approaching (Sunday, May 10!). To mark the occasion, we often see advertisements for synthetic perfumes or bouquets of flowers that have traveled halfway around the world. Yet for our mothers, beauty lies not in “green marketing”, but in the simplicity of a noble ingredient and the intention behind a sincere gesture.

At Les Paillettes Vertes, we believe in grandmotherly recipes revisited with science and conscience. To celebrate Swiss Mother’s Day, we’ve put together a selection of handcrafted gift sets, formulated in our Lausanne workshop for those who like to take care of themselves without compromising the planet.

1. Getting away from “Greenwashing”: The quest for the noble ingredient

For our community, luxury isn’t defined by gilded packaging, but by the purity of what’s inside. We’ve gone back to basics, to the ingredients our grandmothers already used, because they knew that nature doesn’t need chemical crutches to be effective.

• Epsom salt: used for centuries to relax muscles and remineralize the body.
• Activated carbon: The master of natural detoxification, capable of absorbing impurities without damaging the skin.
• Spirulina: A treasure trove of nutrients to restore vitality to skin tissue.

Every ingredient in our boxes is chosen for its real purpose, not to look pretty on the label. This is what we call “honest beauty”.

2. The “Zero Waste” gift: A legacy for the future

Giving a zero-waste gift is also a message: “I love you, and I respect the world we live in”.

Our boxes are designed to leave no negative traces. No unnecessary frills, no single-use plastic. Our glass containers are designed to be reused (for your own homemade recipes, spices or little treasures) or recycled ad infinitum. When you give an LPV box, you’re giving a product that ends its life in the earth or in a virtuous cycle, not in an ocean.

3. Social impact: more than a delivery, a mission

We don’t just manufacture in Switzerland. We have chosen to anchor our logistics at the heart of the human factor. Since 2026, the Fondation Eben-Hézer in Lausanne has been preparing your parcels.

By choosing one of our gift sets, you contribute directly to the social inclusion of people with disabilities or in vulnerable situations. Your Mother’s Day gift supports a chain of local solidarity. It’s a dimension that’s invisible to the naked eye, but which you can feel in the intention of each carefully prepared package.
