Mother’s Day is this week (Sunday 14th), and whether you’ll be able to see your Mum or not this year, now is the time you’ll likely be looking for some present inspiration. It may not be on top of your to-do list to plan a zero waste Mother’s day, but we have made it simple to make this special day eco-friendly no matter what your budget is. So whether you’re a mum or have a mum you want to treat, here are some eco-friendly ideas to impress and inspire.
To have that zero-waste mindset, start by having a good think about what SHE would actually love. Even if she’s not really the mother earth type, remember most activities, things and events can have an earth friendly spin on them.
If the weather allows it and if you live close by, plan a socially distanced picnic – a relaxing way to celebrate Mother’s day, or you could head for a drive in the country to find a lovely spot or to a local park.
Not everyone is lucky enough to have flowers in their garden that they can pick so a great alternative is to create a pot plant. Using old tins or containers, a little soil and a cutting or a sprinkling of seeds you can quickly create a sweet and decorative succulent or a mini herb garden. Our friends at Patch Plants make it simple to transform your home or office in a green oasis.
Sometimes, we do just want to buy a gift, especially if we can’t be with our mothers. Although focusing on experiences or handmade gifts may be more sustainable, there are other options for zero waste Mother’s Day gifts that may be just what she needs. Here are a few ideas:
