Top Tips for eco-friendly Mother’s Day gifting

For some, Mother’s Day might be a painful time. Some may have lost their Mums, or they may be separated due to crisis or conflict or like me, separated by miles.

If you are lucky enough to have your Mum in your life all it takes is a little creativity and effort to show her just how much you love and appreciate her while being kind to the planet at the same time.

💗 Give her the gift of time – It’s the most precious of all the gifts. Go out to your local café or plan a picnic or fish and chips on the beach, go for a walk or take a hike. If you can’t be there in person, call or better still facetime her.

💗 Get crafty – Just the act of making something shows thought and effort. From candles to home baking or a foraged bunch of flowers. She’s going to love it.

💗 Write something – The gift of words is so precious, long lasting and costs nothing. Words of appreciation or a poem will be a hit.

💗 Experience Gifting – Trust me there’s nothing better than making new memories together. Plan a day trip, cooking, pottery, or cocktail making class. Memories last forever.

💗 Support sustainable & eco-friendly Brands – I love the gift of giving so if you do decide to buy a physical gift, look for gifts that are sustainable or eco-friendly. Think cookbooks and maybe even make one of the recipes for or with her. Some gorgeous natural skin care or a tea towel is a great option too, (especially if it comes with a voucher to dry the dishes!)
