Eco Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

It’s time again to celebrate the mums, grandmas and special female caregivers in our lives. With just a week or so left until Mother’s Day, we think it’s best to say thanks for another year of love and care with a little something she can treasure year-round, too. We’ve rounded up seven special, ethically made gifts that are best served with breakfast in bed and are sure to warm any mum’s heart next Sunday May 10th – not that you need reminding!

1) Travel Pack (beauty serums and oils handmade with organic, vegan and cruelty free ingredients; bottled in recyclable packaging), $35, from Tula Naturals, an Australian-owned beauty brand who blend their products in Queensland. See below for details of how to win!

2) Wingtip Scarf (hand-dyed and made in Canada by the Krista Norris Collection), $78, from Orange Oranges, a small business based in Brisbane who have a keen eye for vegan, recycled and ethically manufactured products.

3) Tunnel Dress (ethically printed and sewn in Australia and Bali), $160, from Leonard Street – an Australian label from designer Amanda McCarthy that celebrates colour and print with garments that are made to be cherished and loved for years.

4) Succulent Heart Centrepiece by Fleurieu Gifts (hand-assembled in South Australia), $49.99, from Down That Little Lane, where a global community of talented artisans and small-scale makers come together to sell their wares.

5) Lacebark Layer Top (ethically made in New Zealand), $169, from Chalkydigits, the Kiwi fashion company who are committed to local manufacturing, environmental protection and using sustainable, traceable materials. See below for details of how to win!

7) Limited Edition Mother’s Day Beauty Box (filled with natural and organic products worth $70), $34.99, from Flora & Fauna, who source products exclusively from suppliers who share their vision for organic, paraben-free beauty products that are never tested on animals.
