Looking for unique Mother's Day gift ideas this year? Show you care with trees!

Trees are a fantastic gift idea because they are environmentally friendly, sustainably sourced and, unlike most presents, completely unique. We take care of the acquisition of the land, the planting of the trees and their growth according to sustainable forestry. This way, your mother will be the owner of one or more of the trees in our forests. And the day they are cut down for timber, the proceeds of the sale will go to your mother!

A tree can also be the perfect gift for many other occasions, whether that’s a wedding, a birth, Christmas, Father's Day or Valentine's Day, a birth or to honor the memory of a loved one.

If you’re tired of sending those traditional Mother’s Day gifts every year, perhaps your mum is ready for something new and unique too. More and more people are switching to alternative gift ideas that also happen to be great for the environment. And just because a tree is sustainable and free from single-use plastics, it doesn’t mean it can’t be meaningful for you and your mum. In fact, we know from talking to EcoTree customers that climate change and living an environmentally friendly lifestyle is increasingly important to people of all ages. So there is no reason why buying an eco-friendly gift for Mother’s Day won’t go down well! Everyone loves unique, sustainable gifts that are good for the planet… especially trees!
Think about it. Every year, typical Mother’s Day presents end up being taken back to the store, resold to someone else or even chucked straight into the bin. I mean, we love flowers like we love trees, but they don’t last long when cut and given as a gift! By contrast, an eco-friendly Mother’s Day gift is sustainable by nature – a tree lasts for many decades and will be a long-term benefit to the environment.
That’s why when you give your mum or another special woman in your life a tree for Mother’s Day, you can be sure it will still be there long into the future. That in itself is what makes a tree the perfect, unique Mother’s Day gift for you to send this year. You’ll be doing your bit for the environment while sharing a symbol of love, strength, and one of the most important, lasting relationships in your life.
So what tree species will you choose this Mother’s Day? From the Douglas fir to the Sessile Oak, every species is completely different, which means you can choose the one that best sums up the special relationship you have with your mum. When she becomes the owner of a tree in an EcoTree forest, together you will have helped us protect and nurture a more resilient, vibrant, thriving ecosystem.
Wait – let’s talk about climate change too. Trees are a huge part of the solution when it comes to building a better future for our planet, as forests are an important, natural carbon store. When it comes to the fight against climate change, that means trees are a brilliant way to capture CO2 from the Earth’s atmosphere.
Of course, there is the sustainability issue too. Because while a tree makes a unique Mother’s Day gift, it’s also a green and eco-friendly gift idea because it – obviously – completely free from single-use plastics. In fact, there is no waste created at all, because you can buy and share your alternative Mother’s Day gift online and email a well-designed voucher straight to your mum!
If you are new to EcoTree, you might not know that we are forestry experts and manage a number of forests across Europe. We don’t just plant and look after trees throughout their lifecycle, we also make sure they are used sustainably as natural resources. By harvesting trees that have reached the end of their useful life, we gain natural, renewable wood that can be turned into beautiful timber. That’s a far better option than polluting alternatives, including plastics.
Here at EcoTree, our commitment to the environment and principles is what we base our forestry model on. The green transition is coming and the timber from trees is a valuable, strong and a vital part of all our futures. The planet is about to become more sustainable and reliant on renewable materials, which means forests are so important as the world adapts to a changing climate.
Every year, a tree absorbs approximately 25 kg of CO2. On a personal level, for your mum, becoming a tree owner on Mother’s Day will have a significant impact in terms of offsetting her own carbon footprint. It’s the kind of message that means a lot to people and will no doubt form a part of everyone’s responsible thinking as the world adapts to and fights climate change.
Finally, by giving a tree as a unique Mother’s Day gift this year, you are spreading the word about forests, carbon capture, climate change, biodiversity and many other topics related to our planet. Of course, you never know, if you give a tree as a Mother’s Day gift, you might get an eco-friendly, alternative gift back from them when your birthday or some other celebration comes around.
When it comes down to it, trees are a unique Mother’s Day gift idea that benefits our planet in lots of ways. Trees in EcoTree forests have a meaningful impact and you can even give them as a gift all year round, whatever the occasion.
