Sustainable Gift Ideas for Mothers
As Mother’s Day is around the corner in the United States, we asked our Head of Brand Partnerships (and mom to Ayla),Taylor, to put together a guide to her favorite brands / products for moms. In the guide below you will find a curation of some of our favorite sustainable brands from dry farmed wines to organic olive oil to regenerative fashion staples!
Wonder Valley -
All moms deserve self care and products that help enable that time! I love Wonder Valley products as gifts because everything they create is so beautiful and genuinely works wonders, or tastes incredible – their olive oil is one of my favorites out there…
Their skincare, bodycare, and haircare products are so intentionally made and with their transparency on ingredient sourcing, you know exactly what is in each bottle. The whole experience of using their collection is a treat – from the look and feel of their packaging and bottles to the smell and texture of the formulations. This Mother’s Day I am actually gifting my own mother a bottle of their Olive Oil as she loves to drizzle local oil on her salads and appetizers, along with a selection of their beauty collection. As a working toddler mom, I will be personally indulging in their skincare as my skin needs extra hydration and rejuvenating to combat my lack of sleep! Wonder Valley’s Face Oil is my new best friend thanks to rosehip, seabuckthorn, jojoba, and sunflower seed oil, which work together to protect the skin barrier, fade pigmentation, and deeply hydrate the skin. The scent is intoxicating with neroli, cedarwood, frankincense, blue chamomile, and myrrh – truly a spa experience at home in a bottle!
Kinfill -
If you want the mom in your life to make the clean switch to all natural (but effective) cleaning products, then Kinfill is the brand for you. Beyond just cleaning products, Kinfill make the most wonderful products for the home like Relaxing Pillow Mists, Floral Candles, and Diffusers to pop in the bathroom. Kinfill make their products from ingredients that are kind to you, your home and the planet. It is important to them that they source their formulations as close to home as possible, as a way to reduce their carbon footprint and to ensure high-quality products. Kinfill products are free from things like Palm oil, Aluminium, Formaldehyde, Phthalate, Mineral Oils, Paraben, Silicone, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sulphate, Toluene, or Soap. They have developed their products without volatile organic compounds (VOCs) so that they are safe to be used around you, pregnant/nursing women, children and animals.
Toups & Co -
There aren’t many clean, nontoxic, and sustainable brands on the market today who are providing incredible skincare, bodycare, makeup, and babycare. Toups & Co are actually doing it, and their ingredients are some of the best out there. What makes the brand so unique is their usage of grass fed beef tallow – a star ingredient whose benefits are a page long. Toups & Co is a one stop shop if you’re looking to get the mom in your life a full clean beauty routine – from serums, to balms, to high coverage concealers, to lipsticks in fantastic shades. The Skincare Starter Set along with a Pressed Blush and Tinted Lip Balm makes a perfect gift. Their formulations are so thoughtful and designed for even the most sensitive of skin types, which make gifting Toups & Co a breeze.
BaYou with Love -
Created by the lovely Nikki Reed (a mom to two herself), BaYou with Love makes the most beautiful jewellery pieces any mom would love. Everything the brand creates is handcrafted using recycled gold, including gold recovered from discarded technology through their partnership with Dell. They also work with the world first certified 100% carbon neutral diamond producer, Diamond Foundry. When you support Bayou, you are really supporting ethical and sustainable sourcing and amazing craftsmanship. We love their entire collection, but their Signature Rattan Band Ring is a fantastic gift due to its timeless elegance and simplicity – a great ring to stack or wear alone. The Single Turquoise Diamond Necklace is another piece we think is such a great gift for any mom as it is unique and a great piece to layer.
Reformation Maternity -
Reformation began by selling vintage clothing out of a small Los Angeles storefront in 2009. They quickly expanded into making their own stuff, with a focus on sustainability. Today, they make effortless silhouettes that celebrate the feminine figure and pioneer sustainable practices, focusing on people and progress each step of the way.
They have recently launched a maternity collection for as they say – ‘soon-to-be hot moms’ which we love as a sustainable gift for new moms!
Dry Farm Wines -
All of us at Rêve are big fans of Dry Farm Wines for a reason. Dry Farm Wines offers a range of wines that are deeply researched and thoughtfully curated into selection boxes that allow for you or your loved ones to experience the best health and planet conscious wines the world has to offer. Dry Farming means there is no usage or artificial irrigation to grow the grape crop but rather farmers rely on natural water sources only. Based on research, Dry Farm Wines estimate their growers save roughly 700 million gallons of water annually. Their wines are also incredibly delicious – we can all testify to that fact! Dry Farm Wines make such lovely curated boxes, including a one time gift box, where you can select how many wines to send and if you want a selection of reds, roses, or a mix of everything.
Christy Dawn -
If the mom in your life is a fashion lover, Christy Dawn is the best brand for gifting some of the most sustainable items of clothing on the market. As Christy Dawn grows, they’re evolving from sustainable to regenerative. All of their new collections are made from regenerative cotton and naturally dyed. Christy Dawn is deeply connected to their farm and farmers, and a supply chain of local craftsmen who practice traditional and organic techniques that replenish the health of the soil, the planet, and the people. Their farm-to-closet initiative allows them to make beautiful dresses that are good for your skin and good for the Earth. Everything the brand puts out is just stunning, timeless, made to last, and incredibly comfortable – all things one should be after in a clothing purchase!
