We don't have to buy more THINGS to show our Mothers we love them. We have rounded up some RE.STORE recommendations for sustainable, local and independent ideas for those looking for inspiration from Bath for the women in their lives.

Here’s to another Christmas filled with all the things that make it special; family & friends, treats to eat & drink, time off and tokens of love and appreciation.
