When it comes to choosing eco-friendly gifts for her, our team starts the search process wide and takes a long time to narrow them down.
We try to avoid sharing items that are gender-specific or kitchen items. But the truth is – we LOVE a new stand mixer or long-lasting vacuum cleaner as a holiday gift!
So, you’ll find a mix of gifts that are extremely useful along with some splurges. And we’ve tried to mix in a little more self-care gifts this year because we’ve realized that when you have the right tools, you’re more likely to make a standing appointment to use them.
Here’s our selection of gifts for her that fall into one or more of the following categories: eco-friendly, non-toxic, ethically made, experience gifts, or high quality and long lasting so they won’t break and end up in a landfill anytime soon.

EXPERIENCE GIFTS FOR HER
Experience gifts are a creative way to create memories without giving her more “stuff” to deal with. Is she up for adventure? Or would she love a day of pampering or indulgence?
Pampering – Massage, pedicure, or a gift certificate to her favorite salon or spa so she can choose. Even better, get a few gift certificates so she can space them throughout the year!
Meditation retreat – It may not be an option for every mom, but a weekend away (alone or with a close friend) could be just what she needs to recharge her body, mind, and spirit.
Entertainment – Theater or movie tickets make a great girls’ night or date night.
Yoga classes – If she loves yoga, get her a class card or a membership.
Ballroom dancing lessons – Guys, you should know… most of us would love to learn to Tango. We just need you to go along with it. So, be a hero, and make it your idea.
A day off – This can be a certificate for a day to herself, then make sure she uses it! Help make it easy by arranging something fun with the kids so she doesn’t have any reason to cancel or feel guilty.
