What Are the Perfect Gifts for Eco-Friendly Mamas?



She brings her own bags to the grocery store, knows exactly what can (and can’t) go in the compost, and once turned an old flannel shirt into a set of reusable napkins. So, what do you give the eco-conscious mom who already has a shelf full of beeswax wraps?


We’ve got you. Whether you're shopping for your partner, your own mom, or the mama friend who deserves a little extra love, here are some planet-friendly Mother’s Day gift ideas that skip the waste.


1. Reusable Cleaning Kit

For the mom who keeps things tidy and toxin-free, a reusable cleaning kit is perfect. Start with a charming woven basket and fill it with green cleaning staples. Here are some ideas:


  • Glass spray bottles prepped with essential oil blends

  • Compostable Swedish dishcloths in cheerful prints

  • Stylish refillable soap dispenser

  • Natural scrub brushes made from wood and loofah


This kind of gift says, “I know you’d rather not use plastic or mystery chemicals—and I love that about you.”


2. Native Plant (Or Two)

Skip the cut flowers that wilt in days and give her something that lasts—and gives back. A native plant, thoughtfully selected for her garden or porch, adds beauty while supporting local pollinators. 


Whether it’s purple coneflower or bee balm, native blooms thrive in our region and require less fuss. (Bonus: Check out one of Asheville’s many nurseries for pesticide-free, region-friendly options she’ll love.)


3. DIY Spa Day

For the mama who’s always caring for everyone else, build a spa day she can enjoy—without the toxic ingredients. Gather a few clean, natural self-care staples like:


  • Lavender bath salts

  • Homemade sugar scrub (just coconut oil and brown sugar will do)

  • Beeswax lip balm

  • Caffeine-free herbal tea blend, like chamomile or peppermint


Tuck them into a pretty basket or upcycled jar, and don’t forget the best part: a handwritten note that says, “For the mama who does everything. Today, do nothing.”


4. Low-Waste Morning Starter Pack

For the mom who kicks off her day with a cup of coffee or tea, help elevate her morning routine with a low-waste bundle. Skip the disposable cups and plastic lids and instead give her a sustainable set of essentials that’ll make every sip feel special:


  • Sleek stainless steel or bamboo travel mug

  • Selection of loose-leaf tea or locally roasted coffee beans

  • Reusable cotton filter or French press


It’s a gift that turns her mornings into a sustainable ritual.


5. Certificate from Green Home Cleaning 

Spoiler alert: Moms don’t need more stuff. They need a break.


Give the mama in your life the gift of a sparkling home without the harsh chemicals, the hours spent scrubbing, or the guilt of waste. A gift certificate from a green cleaning company in Asheville (that’s us!) is the ultimate way to show her you care.
