Gift ideas for a sustainable Mother's Day

 


It’s Mother’s Day on 27th of March, and there’s nobody who deserves to be treated more than her (it isn’t easy raising us eco-warriors, y’know), but we can’t forget about Mother Earth either! Chocolates, cards, gifts – it all comes at a cost to the planet. 

Shopping sustainably isn’t always easy, so we’ve gathered some fabulous sustainable gifts from good brands to make your impact greener this Mother’s Day! From homeware to fashion, jewellery to skincare, we’re sure you’ll find something she’ll love.

Make your Mother’s Day eco-friendly and sustainable

There are other ways that your carbon impact can be improved this Mother’s Day. Before you book a table at a fancy restaurant, check out our list of ethical restaurants, cafés, and bars. Even better, cook a homemade meal - there are few better Mother’s Day treats than breakfast in bed! The best thing you can do is shop locally for flowers and wine and find a local nature-based day out for your family to enjoy, such as a visit to a nearby botanical garden or farmer’s market.

These are just a few of the eco-friendly products available from these good brands, so there’s no excuse to compromise on ethical standards this Mother’s Day!

PS: Don’t cut corners! Wrapping paper and Sellotape are also terrible for the environment, so check out these beautiful upcycled Furoshiki wraps from PriPri instead and keep an eye out for sustainable greetings cards from Ethical Superstore, Traidcraft, and Know The Origin!
