10 Sustainable Mother’s Day Gifts for 2023

I’m not an owner of one of these myself, but I continuously read about how many of those little cups end up in the landfill.

In addition, heating up that disposable plastic can act like estrogen and mess with your hormones.

If your mom already has a Keurig, gift her these reusable K-cups. It’s a win-win.

Make sure they’re compatible and pair with her favorite brew.

If you’re anything like me, you’re the green chicky in the family and always introducing ways to reduce waste to other family members.

A zero-waste starter kit as a gift can be an easy way to ease someone into a more sustainable lifestyle.

And, I’ve found they typically appreciate these gifts and might think twice about accepting that straw at the restaurant.

I love this starter kit from MeMotherEarth because it has a little bit of everything.

If your mom’s still using the plastic containers that you grew up with, they’re most likely leaching chemicals and it’s time for a change.

Gift these containers made with borosilicate glass and air-tight bamboo lids. They’re dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer safe.

Whether the mom you’re buying for has a green thumb or not, it’s easy to keep flowers alive in a terrarium. (Seriously, even I can do it.)

Why buy flowers that’ll only last a week or two? These will bloom all year with no water or feeding. Wow.

I’ve always been fascinated with plantable paper.

Two gifts in one: let your mom know she’ll get those beautiful flowers… eventually 😉

Is your mom still using deodorant filled with fragrance, parabens and phthalates?

Deodorant might seem like a strange gift… let her know it’s not a hint or anything! But hey, I always think introducing someone to a more natural way is the start to making a difference. Even if it’s deodorant.

And, it’s certainly not a gift that’ll go to waste.

The natural deodorant I recommend is handmade, fresh, vegan, cruelty-free and organic.

The main ingredients are magnesium hydroxide, coconut oil, arrowroot powder, shea butter, zinc and probiotics. Free of baking soda, alcohols, aluminum, parabens, sulfates and synthetic fragrances.

It’s in a biodegradable push-up paper tube and, the packaging is beautiful.

Jewelry can be such a personal choice, but you know who you’re buying for, right?

Etsy has a plethora of eco-friendly, sustainable, recycled jewelry made from talented artists. You’re sure to find something just right for her, perhaps a fork bracelet.

I’m not crazy about the scented candles, even if it’s natural.

Check out this 100% pure beeswax candle made from local U.S. beekeepers. It has a naturally pleasant honey aroma.

These candles come in a glass amber jar that emits a vibrant warm tone when lit. They burn 50+ hours.

Give the gift that keeps on giving… money in mom’s pocket.

I love the Nest thermostat because it saves energy without a lot of work.

If the mom you’re buying for hasn’t yet upgraded to this thermostat, now might be the time.

Weighted blankets have been shown to help eliminate insomnia, reduce anxiety and stress, and even alleviate pain.

This 100% pure, organic merino wool has a knit style to help with temperature regulation. It’s also made in the USA.

If the mom you’re buying for has always wondered about trying weighted blankets, this is the one to gift.
