Mother's Day: Our 10 gift ideas for a natural mom

This year, Mother's Day falls on Sunday, May 14th, and we all want to find the perfect original and ethical gift for this special day. A mother is like a guide, a listening ear, and a wonderful blend of strength and tenderness. So, for Mother's Day in Switzerland, here are 10 eco-friendly gift ideas to make her eyes sparkle with love.

1 – Offer an essential oil diffuser for a moment of well-being

To fully enjoy the benefits of essential oils, it's very practical to use a diffuser, such as a nebulizer for a large room or a mist diffuser, which is more discreet and suitable for smaller spaces. These diffusion systems purify a room thanks to the active ingredients of the chosen essential oils, and also provide a relaxing scent that can soothe stressed minds.

It's also possible to take these concentrated plant scents everywhere you go! Wooper offers beechwood diffusers so your mom can hang them in her car or on her bag. Like this pretty butterfly , which will accompany her everywhere with a few drops of essential oils delicately placed on the wood.

3 – Treat him to a relaxing moment with a beauty treatment

Like many people, your mom might not be able to find time for herself. Daily life is full of surprises, and the days seem to fly by! Why not treat her to a relaxing moment with some beauty treatments: a facial mask, massages, a spa day, or a hammam? Many spas and salons offer all-inclusive packages with a variety of options.

It's even possible to share this moment with her! A day of complete privacy to share a wonderful mother-child moment. How wonderful it is to spend time as a family 🥰.

5 – Share an extraordinary family moment

What if you spent a whole day with her, 100% authentically? Such a beautiful idea, but also so easy to put into practice.

You could suggest spending a day with him/her and sharing intimate, unusual moments. Time flies by so quickly that we sometimes forget that all it takes is a break

• A basic breakfast with a bouquet of wildflowers on the table.
• A DIY (Do It Yourself) moment: a soap workshop at home, a photo shoot between you and her with a tripod, a sewing lesson with zero-waste creations, etc.
• A meal prepared hand in hand for lunch, after going to the market together.
• A short hike in the surrounding countryside.

You see, it doesn't take much to transform an ordinary day into an extraordinary one.

6 – Participate in a photo shoot with a professional

Here's a lovely idea that will leave lasting memories! You can book a session with a professional photographer: in a studio, outdoors, or at your family home, anything is possible!

• Choose a family session to share this moment with everyone who shares your mom's life.
• Opt for a private photo session, where your mother can pose and thus keep a unique memory.
• Have a mother-daughter or mother-son photo session to share a fun and authentic moment.

The photographer will be able to advise you best and suggest poses that will highlight your whole family. A wonderful moment to share together!

7 – Giving a jewelry set: a gift idea for a nature-loving mom

How wonderful it is to take care of yourself! And sometimes it starts with small accessories to enhance your appearance. Jewelry can complement an outfit, add a personal touch to your style, and also make you feel good.

Depending on your mom's preferences, you can choose a jewelry set in different materials: gold, silver, steel, etc. But if you prefer a more natural look, we recommend you consider wooden jewelry sets.

At Wooper, we offer jewelry made from locally sourced beech wood. Furthermore, the design of each piece is conceived in our minds, and then the jewelry is crafted in our workshop in Switzerland. Here's an ethical and original idea:

• Elaïa earrings
• Luna wooden necklace
• A bracelet corresponding to one's astrological sign

There is a wide selection in our shop, and we are certain that you will find something to make your mother's eyes sparkle.

9 – Giving a book to your mother: such a beautiful and simple gift

There's nothing more beautiful than a book! The ultimate advantage of this gift choice is that it's suitable for everyone! Indeed, depending on your mom, you'll be able to choose the perfect book, tailored to her personality:

• A novel: whether it's a crime novel, a feel-good novel, an autobiographical novel, etc.
• A comic strip: an art form situated between literary and graphic writing
• A documentary book: geography, history, photography
• A cookbook: original recipes, from the local area or from a foreign country.

And if your mom is an avid reader, you can choose to prepare an exceptional discovery pack for her. Yes, be original, and prepare a box with 12 books: one for each month of the year. Each one wrapped in fabric or recycled paper, don't forget to add a little note to guide her reading.

10 – Introduce local cuisine during a tasting workshop

If your mom has a sweet tooth and enjoys the finer things in life, you could suggest a chocolate or wine tasting workshop. You could share it together, or even give it to her as a gift so she can go with whomever she likes! Switzerland is full of places where you can offer her this kind of unique experience.

During a chocolate workshop , she can discover the history and origins of this delicious treat, as well as taste exceptional chocolates. There are even workshops that combine wine tasting with chocolate to teach participants how to pair them!

As you can see, there are countless ways to please the person you love, especially when it's your mom!
