St Mary's Weekly Eco Tip: Sustainable Mother’s Day Gifts

A sustainable Mother’s Day gift is a meaningful way to express appreciation while being mindful of the environment. Instead of purchasing supermarket flowers, consider gifting hand-picked garden flowers, as many imported flowers are discarded shortly after use. Plantable seed cards from Little Green Paper Shop offer a thoughtful, eco-friendly option that blooms into something beautiful. Reusable kitchenware, such as stainless steel straws and food storage bags, eco-friendly beauty products, and homemade gifts like DIY spa day can also make for impactful presents. For gift wrapping, repurpose fabric such as tea towels or scarves, or use recycled wrapping paper to reduce waste. Additionally, baking homemade treats, or gifting second-hand books and clothing, provides a unique, sustainable alternative that celebrates both the occasion and the planet.
