The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
It can sometimes feel impossible to find the perfect gift for the person you want to celebrate most. Whether an aunt, a teacher, or another figure who helped mother and care for you at a crucial crossroads in your life, the holidays are a reminder to pause and show them you appreciate their love.
Why gift sustainably?
When picking a gift, choosing to go sustainable is key to doing good for the planet. Ethical and sustainably-made gifts are often made from eco-friendly and high-quality materials that are produced under fair labor conditions. This means that these gifts are built to last, helping to cut down on excess waste. Gifting sustainably also helps minimize pollution, conserve natural resources, and promote social justice. By opting for sustainable gifts, you not only set a positive example for other gifters but also contribute to a more sustainable and responsible approach to gift-giving that benefits both the planet and society.
We’ve pulled together some of our favorite treats and goodies from sustainable brands that will help us celebrate guilt-free. From cozy knits to tasty snacks, innovative bouquets and whimsical decor, we’ve got you covered to find the perfect token of your love and appreciation for the mama in your life.

Our Editor’s Review | “The blanket is a winner in both appearance and texture. The soft tencel of the Tree Napper really is cooling and quite silky feeling without being shiny (or sticky if I sweat). I’m obsessed with how calming and deep the green of the Rosemary color is, and honestly — if you take a moment to search Google images for weighted blankets—this is one of the most attractive ones on the market.” – Emily McGowan, Editorial Director [Read the full review.]

Our Editor’s Review | “Cuyana’s Easy Tote is an easy investment — while pricey at around $268, I found that the quality has surpassed my expectations and the bag looks as elegant today as the day I unwrapped it. I’d love to eventually have a zippered version, which the brand does offer!” – Emily McGown, Editorial Director [Read the full review.]
