The Best Gifts for Mother's Day 2025

Mother’s Day is a great time to let all of the women who have nurtured, guided, and supported you know how much you appreciate them. Our curated collection focuses on natural, sustainable and mindful living; it’s the heart of the way we do business — cooperatively and with fairness and integrity with all people. Acting responsibly, doing good, giving back… quite a bit like Mom’s way!

To select a great Mother’s Day gift, you’ve got to think like a mother: be practical! Better than a bouquet of flowers, gift baskets are wonderful because they offer a versatile, thoughtful, and memorable way to celebrate someone with a variety of items all presented in a single, appealing package. You can tailor the contents of the basket to fit the receiver’s interests, needs, or a particular theme. And though you may be tempted to buy a pre-assembled basket of wares, please don’t! Those generic creations take the thought out of thoughtful, and the memory out of memorable.

A well-curated basket ensures the recipient will love something inside. And when the basket is beautiful and functional, it adds to the thoughtfulness and practical nature of the overall gift. You’re off to a great start with an Ayeya Handwoven Grass Basket. Made with wild-harvested savannah grass, these Fair-Trade baskets are ethically sourced from our cooperatives in West Africa. Each one is completely unique and features a leather tag inside that’s personally signed by the weaver.  And though a work of art, these sturdy baskets will hold up to nearly any task they’re put to. A range of sizes, colors and styles ensures you’ll find the perfect one.

The most sought-after Mother’s Day gifts this year are those that focus on sustainable home life: enjoying the home, enhancing the home environment, mindful living and decorating. Without hiring an interior decorator, the surest and most affordable way to enhance any home environment is through aromatherapy. 

If she doesn’t already have one she loves, start with an aromatherapy diffuser. Our selection includes a variety of styles to complement any decor and a design to serve any size room. (If Mom is on the road a lot, there’s even an aromatherapy diffuser for her car!)

Be sure to include Aura Cacia essential oils with the diffuser. Their sustainably sourced oils are verified for purity with GC/MS testing, and they’re free of synthetic colors, fragrances, and preservatives, so the aromas are clean and safe. Our product selection boasts an impressive variety of single and blended oils, USDA certified organic and premium oils, all starting at reasonable prices. 

Not sure which scent Mom would prefer? We suggest one of our Aura Cacia Essential Oil Kits, such as Discover Relaxation. It includes one bottle each of relaxing lavender, balancing patchouli and refreshing sweet orange essential oils, plus the calming Chill Pill blend, along with a learning guide with recipes, dilution information and quick-use tips — in all, more than 25 ways to relax with essential oils. 

Another way to enjoy aromatherapy: Aura Cacia Plug-Ins. The easiest way to fill a room with around-the-clock, beautiful scents from nature, they simply plug into any outlet. Plug-ins are pre-filled with pure, plant-derived Aura Cacia essential oils for an air care solution that provides continuous all-natural aroma for up to 30 days. They’re ideal in small spaces like bedrooms, home office, closets, and bathrooms. Plug-in refills are available in many scents, so you can include a variety to please the special woman in your life.

If your mom currently relies on conventional air fresheners in her home or office, introduce her to Aura Cacia’s Room Sprays and help her discover how to refresh her environment naturally, without harmful chemicals. These convenient, ready-to-use sprays are formulated with pure essential oils, providing a natural alternative to synthetic air fresheners and fabric sprays. You could also include several Natural Citrus Magic Spray Air Fresheners, made from pure citrus oils and free from harsh chemicals like parabens, formaldehyde, phthalates and benzene.

Pamper Mom with a basket of body-care bliss. Start with a soothing, Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Foam Bath to calm the senses, cleanse the body and balance the spirit. For those who prefer showers, Aura Cacia Shower Salts allow the shower steam to create a blissful, aromatic experience. Every Aura Cacia product is expertly formulated and features pure essential oils.

Include the little items that she may not purchase for herself but would appreciate, like a Super Loofah Facial Mitt  to gently scrub away impurities and revitalize her complexion. And for her body, nothing compares to a sustainably harvested body scrubber to soothingly wash away dead skin cells. Natural sponges are much more absorbent and longer lasting than synthetic sponges; they won’t stain or retain odors, and their soft texture promotes better and less abrasive cleaning.

It’s not a bath or shower without planet-friendly body soap. Select several from our vast array of Body Bar Soaps that feature hard-to-find favorites plus new finds from sustainable sources. Looking for specialty care soaps? Our selection includes unscented and natural botanical scents, moisturizing, sensitive skin, acne treatment, Ayurvedic — and so much more! Don’t forget an organic cotton Soap Saver Bag, so she can collect all those end pieces of her favorite bar soaps and enjoy them 'til their very end.

Afterward, she’ll enjoy a replenished, just-out-of-the-ocean feeling from her fingers to toes thanks to Seaweed Bath Company’s Daily Lotions. These ultra-nourishing formulas immerse skin in soothing marine moisture with nutrient-rich algae, restorative moringa oil and softening shea butter. We offer a multitude of skin-pampering body lotions for every skin type and need, so you’re sure to find several she’ll enjoy trying. 

Top off your home spa basket with Burt’s Bees Essential Kit. This effective natural beauty collection has tried-and-true favorites, all featuring nature's hardest working ingredients: Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream, Hand Salve, Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Lotion, Coconut Foot Cream, and Beeswax Lip Balm. Portions are generous, yet fit easily into a purse or travel bag.

Create a themed basket of teas keeping in mind the recipient’s personal taste and any specific tea traditions she may enjoy. For example, Buddha Tea’s Chakra Teas would delight someone who practices meditation. A selection of unique green teas would please a person who prefers green varieties, while a gardener might be overjoyed with floral and herbal teas. Wellness and detox teas are quite popular for those seeking to optimize well-being. Finally, Mom may appreciate a basket of calming and sleep teas from Celestial Seasonings, acknowledging (and kind of apologizing for) all those nights she stayed up waiting for you.

Add a few accessories to enhance the recipient’s tea-making experiences. If she’s never made loose-leaf teas, consider including at least one variety with a couple of handy and decorative tea infusers. They make brewing loose-leaf teas easy, and also allow for the brewer to control how much tea is used in each cup. She can bag her own teas with Beyond Gourmet's Unbleached Tea Bags, made without any glue, chlorine, phosphates, or other contents that could change the tea’s flavor; they’re easy to fill, fully compostable, and biodegradable. Consider also including a set of reusable Silicone Tea Bag Infusers; they’re specially designed with flexible silicone and store away easily in tight or crowded spaces without denting, like metal or mesh infusers can. 

Mind-reading. Finding lost objects. Knowing precisely when you desperately need a phone call or a hug. Every woman’s superpowers need a boost every now and then…. That’s why she’ll love a basket of Dynamic Health’s Organic Juices and Juice Concentrates. Fill her basket with the goodness of Pomegranate, Vitamin C, Beetroot, Black Cherry, Ginger, Tart Cherry, Noni, and Turmeric. Mom can drink them pure, mix them with water or her favorite beverage, or add to a smoothie for a delicious and healthful superpower boost. 

If your mother is active and cares about her well-being as well as the planet’s, then the ideal gift for her doesn’t have to be a challenge. A BPA-free, BPS-free, and Phthalate-free EcoVessel Boulder Water Vessel in her preferred color is the way to go. Made from premium 18/8 stainless steel, it features TriMax® triple insulation and keeps drinks cold up to 60 hours and hot up to 12 hours. The Reflecta™ lid is insulated and lined with stainless steel, enhancing temperature retention and preventing drinks from ever touching plastic. This dual opening lid is easy to grip, has a wide mouth for easy filling, and a soft silicone spout for a comfortable drinking experience. The lid is securely attached to a sturdy carrying strap, so she’ll always know where it is. With its 100-year warranty, it’s a gift that will help support her hydration needs for quite a few Mother’s Days! 

Complete this gift basket with the eco-friendly and healthy hydration support of Waterdrop Microdrink Flavor Drops.With the finest of fruit and plant extracts compressed into a small cube, all that’s needed is 14-20 ounces of fresh water to enjoy flavorful and nutritious water on the go. Some varieties contain micronutrients and vitamins like C, B3, B6 and B12, while others feature electrolytes for quick rehydration. Be sure to include a few different flavors and types so she can discover her favorites in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
