With all of us trying to do our bit to reduce, reuse and recycle, this March we thought we’d take a look at some of the best eco friendly mother’s day gift ideas so you can keep your ma’ AND the turtles happy!
Dr. Lipp lip tints
As well as their incredible nipple balm, (which is perfect for the new mum in your life this Mother’s Day) Dr. Lipp do a gorgeous range of lip tints for just £6.99 each that offer the same award-winning hydration as well as giving your mum the gift of glam. These are the perfect eco friendly mother’s day gift ideas if you want something special that won’t break the bank!
Guava & Gold bath and body bits
With 100% recyclable packaging and bottles, and proceeds going to help fight hygiene poverty – Guava & Gold is the luxury bath and body brand that your mum AND the environment will love this Mother’s Day.
Mermaid Gin
For the gin-loving mamas out there, and let’s face it there’s a lot of us, why not go for a bottle of Mermaid gin!
As well as being delicious (less sweet than most pink gins but still packs a punch), it comes in a plastic-free bottle (even the cellulose seal is biodegradable) which is 100% recyclable.
And if that’s not enough, the distillery has eliminated plastic and bubble wrap, plus plastic sealing tape, (it seals cases with metal tags) from its production processes.
Gin with a side of saving the turtles; what else could you ask for!
Hot Thermo Bottle, by Alex and Alexa
Great for busy mums on the go, this stylish thermo bottle from Danish brand, Design Letters will ensure liquids stay hot for up to 12 hours (or cold for up to 24 hours) – so new mamas rejoice: no more downing freezing cold coffee after running around the soft play centre for 40 mins! Get yours from the amazing Alex and Alexa!
Surfers Against Sewage sweatshirt, by Toosta
This is one for the cool mum’s; Tootsa has teamed up with Surfers Against Sewage to create a gorgeous range of sweatshirts for adults and kids that are designed to help raise money and awareness of the charities work, particularly the beach cleans as well as the work they do in schools to encourage people to use less plastic. Tootsa is an ethical childrenswear brand with a Ltd Edition range of adult pieces. Which means mums can rep the eco-friendly message AND match with their kids – win, win!
Oii backpack (and unofficial baby bag) by Alex and Alexa
Another gorgeous little gift idea we found on the fabulous Alex and Alexa was this adorable backpack from Swedish design brand, Oii. Their range of super-cute backpacks come complete with easily adjustable shoulder straps and crafted using polyester from recycled plastic bottles (5x 500ml plastic bottles in fact!) The bags are made using a climate compensated production chain and features a double zipper closure at the top and a zip pocket at the front so smaller items can be easily reached – making them perfect for mum’s of young kids who need a snazzy new baby bag for summer that’s still really practical!
CBD bath bombs by Green Stem
I’m going to let you into a little secret; all mum’s really want for mother’s Day is a long bath and a bit of peace and quiet. So, why not treat her to the ultimate in luxury with one of the CBD bath bombs from Green Stem! Made with ethically sourced Colorado hemp, Green Stem’s CBD bath bombs provide a luxuriously-lavish bathing experience to promote the complete relaxation of mind and body, whilst sumptuously soothing the soul.
Eco warrior soap sets
You can’t go wrong with a set of smellies as a mother’s Day gift, and won’t get more eco-friendly than these delicious little bars of soap by Eco Warrior. Founded by Emma Heathcote-James, this multi-award winning Little Soap Company has been disrupting the soaps market for over ten years by becoming the first organic soap collection to bring vegan and sustainable products to the high street at affordable prices – and free from typical ingredients such as detergents, SLS, sulphates, alcohol, parabens, sorbates, silicones, synthetic preservatives. I have no idea what a paraban is or why you shouldn’t have it on your skin, but your mum will know and she’ll be made up!
Endoca beauty starter pack
CBD has been getting the glow up it deserves in the beauty industry, but if your little mum is still only CBD-curious, the Endoca starter pack is a grogeous little treat for Mother’s Day. Featuring hemp infused body butter, lip balm and salve; all of Endoca’s manufacturing methods are also eco-friendly from seed to shelf, making their CBD products among the purest and most ethical on the market.
