Thoughtful Mother's Day Gifts: Show Mom You Really Care

Looking for that perfect item to get for Mother’s Day? This round-up of thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts is for the stylish, modern mom that is health conscious + loves the earth {and YOU} but isn’t “crunchy”. Here are my picks that support women run small businesses, lots of natural, eco-friendly + sustainable products, and little luxuries that show your mom how much you love + appreciate her!

Gifts For The Natural Beauty

For the mom who wants to keep her skin looking good but without harsh chemicals + doesn’t have a lot of time to spend on her beauty routine, these products will help her maintain that youthful + fresh face {and body} sans harmful ingredients.

The Damn Good Face Wash set + body products {like this pink Himalayan sea salt body polish} contain all-natural + organic {when possible} ingredients, are made in small batches + don’t come in plastic vessels {can I get an Amen?!} I am particularly fond of the face oil, body polish + body butter but will be adding in the body oil to my routine shortly. Since using this body butter I have given up entirely on store bought body lotion. My favorite part about these products? This is a small business ran by a loving mama of two who is also a Labor + Delivery RN. This lady is a mom, through + through. What better way to say “Happy Mother’s Day” than give to your mom while supporting another?!

Damn Good Face Wash Set Damn Good Body Polish

RMS Beauty has so many products that do double duty {great for busy moms…which is basically every mom} and their products “are formulated with raw, food grade and organic ingredients in their natural state, allowing their living, healing attributes to penetrate and rejuvenate the skin. ” {quoted from RMS Beauty website} I also love that their package is minimal, biodegradable and/or recyclable. Products that love my skin + the planet are alright by me!

Let her store + tote her new beauty goodies in style with one of these graphic cosmetic cases from Tory Burch.

For The Mom Who Needs Some Rest

Give your exhausted mom the gift of a good night’s rest with a pair of comfy pajamas, a sleep mask + soft, breathable Belgian linen sheets. After all, she probably hasn’t had a decent sleep since you were born.

Traditional With A Twist

If you’re looking to give the traditional gift of flowers, instead of going to your local grocery store order some stems from Bouqs. According to their website, “Our Farm to Table Bouqs are cut the day you order and shipped from one of our farm partners so they last. All our farms practice sustainable, eco-friendly farming, and we cut only what we sell – so we don’t waste 1 out of every 3 stems like others.”

You can also either order a vase to go with those flowers from their website or grab this gorgeous Juliska vase. Modern yet timeless, this vase can be used all year long, which means your mom will think of your every day she has it out {as if she didn’t already always think about you!}

Looking for something that lasts a little longer than flowers but still smells just as great? Give your mama one of these AMAZING candles from Sea Love Candles. Made of 100% US grown soy wax, the wicks are natural cotton fibers + paper threads that are free of lead + zinc. They are made in small batches in Maine + best of all it’s another woman owned small business + the owner donates $1 from every sale to the Gulf Of Maine Research Institute. This Sea Salt + Orchid scent is fresh with hint of floral + fills the air nicely without being overpowering. My personal favorite {so far}.

Gifts For The Mindful Mama

For the mom who is trying to be more intentional with her life…from the things she reads, to how her life is organized, to what she puts in her body, to limiting stress, this round up of Mother’s Day gifts is sure to help her get on the right path.

Any one who has tried essential oils knows how helpful they can be with changing your mood or just for a natural way to get a clean smelling home. This Vitruvi diffuser is stylish porcelain + great for your mom to use in her home or office {or home office!} And along with those relaxing oils in the diffuser, give the gift of HEADSPACE. This is a meditation app that has in-app purchases but if you can gift a month, year or 2-year subscription for her {there is a free version but it’s limited} to truly give her all the meditation options. I listen to this every night before bed + it really helps me to unwind!

Or pick up a journal or a book to help her along in her mindfulness journey. A Simplified Life is great for helping her cut the clutter in her life. It is my go-to book over + over again when I’m on a decluttering rampage! Two books on my list are Kristin Cavallari’s True Roots + a Bible in a year book for women. It is my mission this year to read the Bible in entirety.

Is your mom looking to up her water intake? Help her achieve her goal with a Swell water bottle so she can ditch the yucky + harmful plastic ones + sip in style!
