Eco-Friendly Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mum’s deserve the very best and with our eco-friendly Mother’s Day gift ideas we’re sure you’ll find a great, environmentally-conscious present that will make her day extra special.

1. For The Mum-trepreneur

When your mum is already juggling life and business, why not lighten the load for her by sorting some eco-friendly office essentials. This could be the A5 Ideas notebook, made 100% recycled and sustainable materials. With entirely plain paper, the user has complete creative freedom to use the pages for whatever purpose. The elegant cover is made from recycled paper and 30% citrus pulp. We are proud to be sharing the joy this Mother’s Day as every purchase of this notebook supports a children’s charity globally.

To help keep your mums home office, or desk space organised the Bamboo Desk Manager is perfect. A practical gift that truly fits its purpose, it even comes with a built in photoframe for the family orientated which can alternatively be flattened when not on display. The organiser is ideal for sorting stationary, cards and even tools. It is made from golden bamboo and varnished for protection and to ensure longevity.

2. For the Outdoorsy Mums

A gift that will quite literally last a lifetime is planting your mum her very own tree. Part of the National Trusts Plant a Tree campaign aids the organisation in protecting our woodlands. This is the ultimate gift that keeps on giving, an ally in our fight against climate change.

To really make the most of your outdoor space it is important to make it ‘liveable’. Why not treat your mum to the Bimala Brass Box Lanterns, perfectly paired with the Cintronella Candles to brighten the garden as the days begin to draw longer.

Give your mums garden a new lease of life by picking from our selection of tree and shrub gifts, fully grown and ready to be planted. The Amelanchier Canadesis Gift is also known as “Snowy Mespilus”. It grows white flowers in early summer, perfect for the beckoning of spring Mothering Sunday brings. This is versatile tree, suitable for any garden or even a pot. 

3. For The Tricky to Buy For Mums

Mums can be hard work to buy presents for, especially if their taste is ‘particular’. So

If you’re still struggling to decide on a Mother’s Day gift then you can always let them choose with our Protect The Planet Gift Vouchers. Our vouchers are delivered electronically instantly and come in quantities from £5 and up.

4. For The Practical Mums

Something Mums always seem to get right is practicality. One thing mum will always need is a reusable coffee cup. It reduces plastic waste, and due to this many coffee shops will offer a discount for bringing your own cup.

Another time saving hack that mums will love is a grocery delivery service. Abel and Cole, deliver reliable, weekly organic food and vegetable delivery box. For each box your mum enjoys, they will have the opportunity to donate a portion of organic fruit or veg to fight food poverty through their One Box: One Portion initiative.

5. For The Health-conscious Mums

Treat your mum to a pamper session this Mother’s Day; with choices ranging from Bath salts to makeup to candles and essential oils we have the perfect recipe for a relaxing evening.

For a botanical bath experience look no further than the Botanical Bath Bomb. Made for relaxation, it is packed with rose geranium, lavender, bergamot & marjoram essential oils. Watch as it fizzes and releases butters in the water to nourish and moisturise the skin. It is handmade, made in small batches in the Dorset countryside.

A popular makeup removal essential are reusable makeup pads. Your mum can remove her glam blissfully with pure brushed cotton.
