When finding the perfect gift for a crunchy mom —a mom who embraces a natural and holistic lifestyle—thoughtfulness and quality are important. Whether she’s passionate about organic foods, natural health remedies, or non-toxic living, the perfect Mother’s Day gift should align with her values and love of all things healthy and clean. From self-care items such as organic skincare to home-grown remedies, these gifts not only make a positive impact on her daily life but also reflect her commitment to a non-toxic lifestyle. The best part, these Mother’s Day gifts for crunchy moms are sure to make her feel loved and cared for.
Beeswax Candles and Bath Sea Salts
Nothing will say I appreciate you more this Mother’s Day to a crunchy mom than a few hours to herself, relaxing in a warm bath. Then the cherry on top, she won’t have to worry about being bombarded with toxins and having a headache from all of the synthetic fragrances found in conventional candles and bath salts. She will also love that you spent the time to find the cleanest and safest options for her. Beeswax candles are not only the perfect Mother’s Day gift for a crunchy mom who loves to relax but they also help to purify the air in your home (click here to learn more about them). Pair a beeswax candle with mineral-rich sea salts and mom will be feeling energized and rejuvenated in no time. Below is a list of my favorite beeswax candles and bath sea salts.

Non-Toxic Perfume
Just because you’re a crunchy mom doesn’t mean that you have to give up everything from your non-crunchy days. Conventional perfumes are full of endocrine-disrupting chemicals but there are better options out there. Dads and kids, help to keep your crunchy mom happy and healthy this Mother’s Day with the luxury of smelling sweet with a non-toxic perfume. Your mom will feel thought for and a little fancy, knowing you took the time and did the research to find something so special for her. Non-toxic perfumes can be hard to come by, so nothing says we are thinking about you and for you more. Find some of my favorite non-toxic brands below.
Tallow Lotion, Face Oil and Wellness Tools
The perfect Mother’s Day gift for a crunchy mom would be to have a few minutes every night to enjoy a clean and hydrating skincare routine. Rubbing animal fats on your face is a part of the ultimate crunchy mom routine and if your mom hasn’t tried it yet I know she would love to join in. Tallow also known as rendered beef fat, is amazing for your skin, it has hydrating benefits and is full of nutrients. Since your skin is your biggest organ and absorbs everything you put on it finding a non-toxic, clean brand is very important. If you don’t think your mom would be interested in beef tallow, natural face oils are another great option. Pair either with a few face wellness tools and you have given mom everything she needs to pamper herself on a nightly basis. My favorite tallow, face oils, and wellness tools for the crunchy mom in your life are below.
- Kossma Tallow Beauty Balm
- Soft n’ Fat Solar Union
- LivingLibations Best Skin Ever – Seabuckthorn
- Primally Pure Face Wellness Tools
Latte Mug and Non-Toxic Coffee
If your crunchy mom loves a yolky latte after breakfast she will enjoy it even more in a beautiful, non-toxic, heavy metal, PFOA, lead, and cadmium-free latte mug. My favorite non-toxic mugs by Mora Ceramics are beautiful and are at a great price point. Mother’s Day gifts for crunchy moms don’t have to be complicated, so keep it simple and give your crunchy mom a beautiful, latte mug in her favorite color along with organic, mold-free coffee. Nothing says we love you and have a great day like bringing Mom the perfect cup of coffee. Pro tip, mix in a little cream, maple syrup, and cinnamon, or try something new by topping her coffee with a local pasture-raised egg whipped up with organic coconut sugar.
Sourdough Tools and Recipe Book
Most likely your crunchy mom knows the benefits of easier digestion and beneficial gut bacteria but did you know sourdough bread can also be a creative outlet? This Mother’s Day give your crunchy mom the gift of creating something delicious by working with her hands. Creating sourdough bread is therapeutic, creative and so satisfying. Bread is an easy way to get littles in the kitchen too or perfect for a mom to make on a late evening. It doesn’t hurt that you get to enjoy yummy, fresh-baked bread and can share it with family and friends too. Another thing your crunchy mom will love is that these tools are ethically sourced and/or non-toxic. The only thing that would make this Mother’s Day gift better is if you can find local, grass-fed butter to slather on the bread. Find the best sourdough tools and easy-to-use cookbooks below.

- NutriMill Sourdough Bread Starter Set on Amazon
- Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven (Just a note about this one, it is seasoned in Soybean oil, not ideal, but you can wash it and season with your own oil)
- Daily Sourdough by Lisa Bass
- Artisan Sourdough Made Simple by Emily Raffa
Garden Bed and Organic Herbs
My last suggestion for Mother’s Day gifts for crunchy moms is to create a space where she can grow organic herbs. Whether she wants to use them in her homemade recipes or wants to try her hand at making her own salves and lotions, organic herbs make your garden, home, and meals more vibrant and tasty. You can make your own raised garden bed out of non-toxic cedar fencing or buy one. (Make sure to stay away from treated outdoor wood.) Just a cleared spot in the ground with some organic soil will work too. Next purchase some organic herbs, plants or seeds and you have a thoughtful non-toxic and crunchy Mother’s Day gift. Organic herb plants are generally easy to find at your local grocery store and seeds can be found online. If you think your crunchy mom would appreciate you starting the garden for her, then get a friend to meet her for a walk and get to work, or gift her all of the supplies for Mother’s Day and work on it together. It is so important for your health to be outside and working in the dirt, it can improve your mood, sleep, gut microbiome, and immune health and I guarantee your crucnhy mom will love spending time with you in the garden.
I love these ideas! If we were gifting someone a non-toxic candle – we would probably give them an electric lighter because it’s the perfect combo!
