Mother's Day 2022 Sustainable Gift Inspiration

Mother's Day falls this year on Sunday the 27th March, which is fast approaching. Last year lots of us unfortunately didn't get to celebrate Mothering Sunday in person, so let's make this one extra special. Get ahead of the game (she raised you to be organised, right?) and spoil the superwoman in your life.

Don't panic, to help you out we went on the search for 10 thoughtful and sustainable gift ideas for the motherly figure in your life to remind them just how amazing they are and what they truly mean to you.

There is something for every mother in our roundup.

A Treat for Mum's Skin

Us ladies are always on the lookout for the best skincare, healthier choices and products that won't harm ourselves and the planet. When we stumbled across Sakrid we were sold, their Skincare Saviours gift set is bursting with natural ingredients to enhance your mum's natural glow.

Founder Natalie was inspired to create Sakrid as she started to research the ingredients in everyday products when her mother was fighting breast cancer. We love how ethical the brand is, handmade in the UK all the ingredients are sourced with quality and nature in mind and are high performing and affordable too. Have your Mother's Day gift wrapped in a sustainable gift box, they even add a bow.

Cheery Handcrafted Mug

We don't know about you but tea tastes so much better when it's in a beautiful, cheery mug. A lot of mum's don't often get to enjoy their cuppa warm, so when they do get some down time the quality of the mug is of importance.

Look no further than Habulous, based in Devon everything they sell is handmade by the Habulous team in their studio on the edge of Dartmoor. What's special is each mug they make is totally unique and the strong stoneware clay and internal tin glaze means it can retain the temperature of your drink longer than the average mug (your mum will certainly be happy about that!).

The Shoreline range is one of our favourites, inspired by the British coast and that's where it takes us when we look at this stunning design, the handles are thin and rounded which makes them light and comfortable to hold. This thoughtful gift will guarantee to make her smile every time she has a cuppa. Make it extra special and add one of their cheerful little pinch jugs to serve the milk.
