Mother’s Day is on Sunday, the 8th of May. While I am not a fan of celebrating these Hallmark holidays, I do think that mothers are the most underappreciated people across the globe and hence, deserve a day of pampering and love. I decided to combine my love for being more sustainable with this holiday and share some sustainable gifting ideas for your mom.
- DIY planter using household items/waste – There are so many ways to repurpose household items into beautiful planters. From coffee bottles to Nutella jars or yoghurt jars or wooden crates – they can be painted and repurposed into a planter. You can find helpful videos on YouTube to guide you.
- Homemade meal – As much as I love gifting, I do think a homemade meal and catching up with your mom is the best gift you can give her. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate meal if you don’t enjoy cooking. Again, YouTube and Instagram are filled with recipes that you can easily replicate.
- Compost Bin – Composting is such an easy way to be more sustainable. If your mom loves gardening, she will enjoy using the compost in her garden.
- Plants – Instead of flowers, gift your mom plants this Mother’s day. If she doesn’t have a garden space, you can gift her indoor plants that help with air purification or herbs that don’t take up a lot of space.
- A gift card from a sustainable brand – If you are looking for a way to get your mom more excited about being sustainable, get her a gift card from a sustainable brand. This is probably the easiest gift to get on this list.
- Go thrifting together – If you live in the same city and you have thrift stores around, make a day of it and go thrifting together.
These were some sustainable gifting ideas for Mother’s Day. Personally, I am going to make my mom a homemade meal and catch up with her. What are you planning to do for your mom?
If you are a mom, wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day. Thank you for all that you do. ❤

These were such good ideas and I loved this post! I’m planning on making my mom paper flowers and possibly gifting to charity in her honor – something she always asks for! I really need to get started on my mother’s day gifts…

Those are some lovely ideas! I’m going to get my Mum a special treat from our favourite French patisserie. I’m recovering from another gum procedure so I can only do so much

Sustainable gifts! Love this!
Consciously trying not to buy plastic items, practical gifts may seem less glamorous, but their everyday usage means they bring a smile to people’s faces when they see the items! With the higher cost of food, these days putting together a foodie gift basket full of favorite foods is a sure winner! (Better than the generic food gift baskets that have items no one really eats!)
The gift of time – precious!
Great post with great ideas!!

For Christmas, I plan to get my family each an ethically made bowl and fill it up with homemade treats! Not only will we all have a bowl from the same set but also get to fill up on goodies

I did not do much this year on Mother’s day. I bought my mom a cute mini personalized towel with a cute fleece as we are approaching winter.
These are really sustainable gifts
