Mother’s Day has been celebrated all over the world for thousands of years. It has been a day to rejoice and show appreciation to all of the women in our lives and the aspect of motherhood in general. It’s the perfect time for mom to take a day for herself and openly receive the appreciation that we so often forget to give on a daily basis.
Considering all of the things our mothers do for us, this should probably turn into a monthly holiday. However, since it hasn’t yet, we’re here to make sure that her day lasts long beyond 24 hours. That’s why we’ve put together some truly unique eco-friendly Mother’s Day gifts ideas that are sure to warm her heart. Check them out below!
DIY Herb Garden
Since children could finger-paint, mother’s have crooned over hand-made gifts. They know the extra effort it takes to create something from the heart. That’s why a great eco-friendly gift for Mother’s Day is a DIY herb garden for mom’s kitchen. All it takes is a few mason jars, some seeds (or already sprouted herbs) and some potting soil! It will make her kitchen pop with color and emit a fresh scent year round. A bonus add-on could be helping her cook with her new herb garden one night! Quality time and an eco-friendly gift make for one happy mother.
Eco-Friendly Spa Day
One of the things that mom’s love most is having a day to just sit back, relax and pamper. Put together an eco-friendly spa kit for your mom this holiday and let her take the day off. You can start by making a homemade coconut oil and coffee body scrub with just a two simple ingredients! It’s one of the easiest, yet most effective scrubs you can make.
