Shopping your values is getting easier with the boom in Sustainable brands to choose from that are committed to being a positive force for people and the planet. Our Live Creative Lifestyle team has curated this lovely list of Mother’s Day (and every day) gifts for you—from traditional to unique and for mom’s that have every thing to those that live a stylish, yet minimalist earth loving lifestyle. We think you’ll find something just right for the mom in your life that benefits the earth and your wallet:

1. Flowers | Bouqs

____________________________

Of course, we start with flowers! Blooms of color always brighten both our spirits and our homes. Bouqs flowers are unique, however. Bouqs, short for bouquets, partners with sustainable farms that minimize waste, recycle water, and protect workers’ well-being. This also means their flowers stay fresher and last longer. Some of their flowers actually arrive as buds, giving your recipient something a little extra: the joy of watching them bloom.  Talk about farm fresh!

In a world where seeing each other is limited, the act of sending and receiving gifts in the mail becomes even more powerful. Bouqs helps you celebrate, connect, and cherish life’s little moments, with bouquets as nature intended.

2. Natural vase | MadeTrade

The moment you pick up one of Katie Mudd’s works of art you know you’re holding an exceptional quality hand made ceramic piece. Designer and ceramist Katie Mudd (yes, that is her real name) is based in Portland, Oregon and hand makes each piece with exceptional care so it’s ready for a lifetime of use. Much of Katie’s work is wheel thrown, but several of her designs are also achieved through slip casting. All the materials Katie uses are sourced from local small businesses in the Pacific Northwest to ensure high quality and reduce her company’s carbon footprint. Katie’s pieces are ready to beautifully accent your home for generations to come.

3. Non-Toxic Nail Polish in Every Color | Itemerie

The majority of Nail Polish sold in pharmacies and supermarkets contain multiple toxic ingredients that can be harmful to you. In addition, although this information is often silenced, many nail polishes contain ingredients from animals.

Itemerie’s BKIND cruelty-free nail polish is 10-FREE, meaning it doesn’t contain any of the 10 chemicals we usually find in regular nail polishes. It excludes formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, camphor, DPB, xylene and paraben, perfumes and animal products from its list of ingredients. This nail polish is vegan, non-toxic, and best of all, it looks gorgeous on! Light pink nail polish color: a soft, sandy beige with a touch of pink.

4. Zero Waste Utensil Set | Simply Straws

Whether you’re taking your mom for a picnic on the beach, camping, or backpacking this utensil kit is the perfect pairing for your special time together. Includes everything you’ll need to stay plastic-free for everything you love doing. A handy carabiner on the back lets you clip wherever you may roam, perfect for a busy lifestyle and our precious planet.

5. Massage Cube | KOA+ROY

KOA+ROY is a woman-owned, San Diego based B-Corp business operating in the natural personal care space. KOA+ROY launched with a solid massage cube which was formulated with powerful, plant-based ingredients. The massage cube is free of harsh chemicals, vegan & cruelty free certified, handcrafted in small batches, and packaged in a recycled hemp paper box. Perfect gift to pair with a massage for your mom!

6. Gift Card for the Stylish Professional Mom | JackieLutze

A gift card to Jackie Lutze is a perfect way to make your ecologically minded, professional mom happy. Jacki Lutze is a woman-owned minimalist, mix & match sustainable clothing brand. Jackie Lutze started with a quest to find a vegan, sustainable blazer. There wasn’t one, so they made it. They believe in wearing your heart on your sleeve, your organic cotton sleeve that is.  That’s why they chose to keep animals out of their material supply chain.  

All of their pieces are 100% cruelty free using sustainably sourced natural materials made from quality plant-based fabrics such as cotton, hemp, and linen.

“Fashion is one of the largest industries for environmental pollution and we didn’t want to contribute to that statistic. Each item is handmade in California with a whole lot of love.” —Jackie
