From chic, viral cookware picks to reusable drinkware and luxurious linen sheets, these sustainable products will reduce waste and plastic consumption while adding a touch of style to her home.
First up is, of course, my favs at Our Place. They have recently re-released their versatile and sustainable cooking pan made with 100% post-consumer recycled aluminum and without potentially harmful toxins. The Always Pan 2.0 features a toxin-free nonstick coating and is designed to replace 8 traditional pieces of cookware, reducing clutter and waste in the kitchen. (It’s oven-safe now!! Yay!)
Next is Blueland, a company dedicated to reducing plastic waste by offering eco-friendly household cleaning products that come in reusable containers. Their Clean Essentials Kit comes with a set of cleaning tablets and reusable bottles, making it easy for mom to clean her home without producing plastic waste.
A favorite in my family is Corkcicle, a company that offers an array of reusable drinkware that's both stylish and eco-friendly. From insulated tumblers to canteens and coffee mugs, their products keep drinks cold or hot for hours, reducing the need for single-use cups and bottles. (Everyone in my family has at least a few of their own Corkcicle products in their own special style. I love my Unicorn Lavender Magic Cold Cup!)
For unique and customizable eco-friendly gifts, look no further than Etsy. This online marketplace offers a variety of handmade and sustainable products, from reusable wraps to bamboo utensils and reusable coffee filters. Plus, many of their products can be customized to fit mom's personal style.

Gift mom the newly released Magnesium Bath Enhancer or the Clean Home Bundle to help her indulge in a bit of self-care and relaxation this mother’s day. (Bonus for their lovely packaging and premium glass bottles! So luxurious.)
Check out Ettitude; a sustainable bedding and bath brand that offers an array of eco-friendly products made from organic bamboo lyocell and other sustainable materials. Their products are ultra-soft, durable, and naturally hypoallergenic, making them the perfect addition to mom's bedroom or bathroom. (Gift her the vegan cashmere blanket for maximum joy.)

Popular home staple Parachute offers a range of sustainable bedding, bath, and home essentials made from eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and linen. From soft and cozy towels to luxurious bedding and throw blankets, their products are perfect for moms who value sustainability and style.

Quince is another sustainable home goods brand (and fav of mine) that offers high-quality products at affordable prices. From sustainable wool blankets to organic cotton towels and bamboo cutting boards, their products are designed to last and reduce waste. (You may remember them from my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide!)

For outdoor enthusiasts, Solo Stove offers a range of portable fire pits that are both efficient and eco-friendly. Made from durable stainless steel, their fire pits burn wood with minimal smoke and leave behind minimal ash, making them a sustainable and stylish addition to any outdoor space.
