Mother’s Day gifts for the environmentally conscious? Eco-friendly Mother’s Day gift ideas for new moms? Instead of feeding the ever-hungry consumer market without purpose, why not spend your money on environmentally conscious companies and people? And, if your mom or your mom-friend is as environmentally conscious as you are, even better! Then the options are even more varied.
I mean, we gotta show love to mums on Mother’s Day – there’s no question of not doing that;) But is it possible to do it without unleashing loads of plastic, or spending money on something short-lived that your mom may not really want, or opting for a fleeting thrill instead of a long-lasting and more meaningful experience?

1 // Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace
Just add a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil to this lava bead necklace, which then releases the fragrance throughout the day, giving the wearer the benefits of the essential oil. Neat! Gift this to Mom along with a set of her favorite essential oils.
2 // Custom Handwriting Jewelry
Get your Mom’s handwriting converted into 925 sterling silver 18K gold filled necklace! This is custom-made, so there’s a good chance that your mom doesn’t already have this;)
You also can’t go wrong with ethical handmade jewelry😉

What happens when you can’t select one item to showcase. 31 Bits sources their materials ethically, and is an all-around great company to be supporting in case you want to buy jewelry. Check out their mission here to get inspired!
4 // Mother’s Day Vegan Spa Set
You can’t go wrong with a soothing spa set, especially when its “milk” is made of oat milk. The Earthy Child’s store on Etsy is a treasure trove of products made from responsibly sourced natural ingredients. And they use earth-friendly packaging! Just keep your eyes peeled if you’re vegan, though (or if your mom is); not all their products are vegan.
5 // Love Potions Starter Pack by Earthling Beauty
Don’t worry, it’s called Love Potions but it isn’t going to make your mom more…er…passionate. This starter pack has the morning and evening facial serums and a hair serum in one set.

Does your mother love yoga? This non toxic, non-slip mat made with sustainable cork and natural tree rubber is perfect for her, then.

With flower essentials and essential oils, this is a lovely handmade sea salt spray for your ocean-loving mother. This one claims to “boost your love life”, so er…proceed with caution!;)
8 // Customizable Organic Cotton Tote Bag
Something a bit more practical. This organic cotton tote bag is earthy and simple, and very suitable for your mom if she’s no-nonsense and eco-friendly.
9 // Handmade Ceramic Bird Feeder for Mom’s Garden
Gardener moms will be happy to add this gorgeous ceramic bird feeder to their garden. It will bring your whole family a lot of joy by simply offering a buffet to the birds passing by.
10 // Garden Tools Set for Mom
Another gift idea for moms who garden. This is a great tool set, complete with gloves that have fingertip claws! The rust-proof tools and the khaki tote bag with the solid base – are all ideal for spending quality time in the garden.
Donations for the Environmentally Conscious
A final option for making this Mother’s Day special for your mom is to donate on her behalf to a cause.
My mom loves elephants and would be thrilled with a donation in her name to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya.
Alternatively, you could donate in her name to help other moms, those struggling the most, through Every Mother Counts.
