Eco-friendly Gift Ideas for Mother\u2019s Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the Nature-loving Moms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tree Sapling<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A great way to honor both a mom and the environment is to plant a tree. She is the roots of where life began and continues to help those around her grow. Being the super sentimental type mom, I would love to be gifted a tree sapling when my little one is young so I could watch it grow alongside him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jonsteen Company provides awesome little tree starter kits <\/a>with seedlings and instructions. There are a lot of different species available and all varieties (deciduous, evergreen, oaks, and redwoods).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If mom doesn\u2019t have space to plant a tree, then consider a bonsai tree or a wooden family tree<\/a> instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildflower or Organic Seeds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I know many moms who are lovers of flowers, but store-bought flowers fade and aren’t always very earth-friendly. Wildflower seeds<\/a> would be a great eco-friendly gift idea as native plants and wildflowers attract pollinators and birds. She could spread them out in a sunny spot, watch them grow, and even cut a few for a vase!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If she\u2019s more into growing food and gardening, some bulbs or organic seeds<\/a> would be fun to buy and plant with her, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could even make a sweet tag or card with a punny saying on it. As a mom, I\u2019m a total mush for sayings like \u201cseeds of love, watch them grow\u201d or \u201cthanks for helping me bloom\u201d! There\u2019s some really cute printables for these on Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re also into giving acts of love, then maybe offer to weed or help water all your nature-loving mom\u2019s wonderful plants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plant Gift<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Give a plant as a gift instead of flowers as it will long out last the flowers. Plants are always a great go-to and there\u2019s even some awesome houseplant marketplaces, like the Sill<\/a>, now. They have a wide range of small to large plants of all types! The Sill even has subscription boxes<\/a> where a plant mom can get monthly plants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eco-friendly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Or just hop over to a local nursery and find that mama a flowering plant that she can cut flowers from for her vases. My hubby gifted me a small hydrangea plant several years ago that I love. If I really want flowers in a vase, I can go cut a few beautiful blooms off my plant every year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a finishing touch, stick a cute wooden plant tag<\/a> in it to share the love!<\/p>\n\n\n
