10. A Donation in Her Name

If she’s the type who insists she “doesn’t need anything,” honor her values with a donation to an environmental nonprofit or reforestation project. Organizations like One Tree Planted or the Rainforest Alliance make it easy to gift impact.

This Mother’s Day, choose a gift that nurtures the nurturers—and the Earth.
Whether you’re celebrating your mom, your partner, or yourself, these thoughtful, sustainable gifts prove you don’t have to compromise the planet to show you care.
