This is my first ever gift guide and I had so much fun making it! I’ve rounded up eco-friendly items that I know I would love to receive. My mom personally loves all things bees so there are plenty of bee inspired items here! I always aim for products made of natural materials or things like metal that can always be recycled. Let’s shower our moms with love and some cute gifts!

The Ultimate Mother’s Day Eco Gift Guide
Mugs & Warm Drinks
Who doesn’t love things for coffee, tea, and hot chocolate? There’s a ceramic mug with a bee of course, an electric milk frother/heater, my absolutely favorite electric tea kettle (that I’ve had for five years and use every day!), organic mushroom matcha mix, and the ultimate french press made of just metal and glass (no plastic here!).
Kitchen & Baking
Dream of summers outside on the patio or tea in the garden with these sustainable kitchen items.
Beeswax Wraps
These are the ultimate swap for plastic wrap! Store cheeses or half finished avocados by wrapping food and pressing with the warmth of your hands to seal.
If you are feeling crafty, check out my tutorial on how to make your own beeswax wraps!
The cutest little bee hive muffin tin, compostable Swedish dish cloths, ceramic pinch bowls, washable silicon muffin liners, and cotton oven mitt are all great, useful additions to the kitchen. All of these are made from natural materials and look aesthetic too!
Home Office & Stationary
I love stationary! Picture this, your mom or grandma sitting down to pen a letter to a friend with a candle burning and the window open to a nice spring breeze. I love to journal so you’ll see some of the products that I am constantly recommending with my own journal spreads.
Kraft Paper Journal
Kraft paper is the most sustainable paper because it’s not dyed or treated, retaining its natural color. Linen cover and crisp pages, these journals lie flat and are perfect for any type of journal keeping.

From my favorite new fountain pen to a funny soy based candle, these fun items will be welcome in any office and can help make it super cozy. A gold geometric plant hanger and a pair of macrame wall hangings can help decorate the walls while gold minimalist binder clips can organize her desk.
Beauty
Mine own beauty routine is very minimalist, so why not get mom some beauty items that help make her beauty rituals sustainable and simple. The Ilia tinted face serum with SPF 40 has become my ultimate eco-beauty item. You put it on clean skin and it hydrates and provides an amazing foundation at the same time! They have a ton of skin tones so you’ll be able to match perfectly.
At night, why not give her Honest Beauty’s organic facial oil. It’s enriched with natural botanicals and is made without parabens, silicones, paraffins, dyes, or synthetic fragrances. Ilia’s two-in-one multi stick can be used on cheeks and lips! There are six different colors but I’m a huge fan of their berry color! I think it’s flattering on all skin types.
If mom needs a night for self care how about some soaking salts, and then follow up the relaxing bath with my favorite body lotion!
Tech & Travel
For the mom who loves to travel, get her some of my favorite items that can be used for travel but at home too!
Kindle Paperwhite
Reading is easy and beautiful with an elegant white e-reader that’s not harsh on the eyes. While this is the most expensive of the list, it is worth every penny!
My mom loves her hydro flash! She uses it at work everyday and it keep ice cold frozen for two days. Since she loves it I know other mom’s will too! Get everything for travel including a hydro flash, a mess market tote bag, a set of reusable bamboo utensils with a carry pouch, a portable charger, and cotton curling iron holder.
I hope you found something here that speaks to your mom while being low waste! Besides the kindle, everything here is under $50! I personally will be getting my mom the bee hive tin (so don’t tell her!). She loves to bake and I can’t wait to see what she makes with them.
Happy Mother’s Day!
