While we know one day is hardly enough to celebrate all that moms do, we’ve scoured the city in search of unique Mother’s Day gifts that will make Mom feel extra special on her day (hint: breakfast in bed or a glorious spring hike are always a hit, too.) Whether you’re looking for a special mom, grandma, aunt or other mother figure in your life (or just dropping hints to your own family), these gifts will surely make her smile. We’ve done the hard part, now it’s up to you to grab one of these great gifts from a local Boston shop.

For moms who aim for zero waste

You won’t find any plastic at either of these shops, but what you will find are earth-friendly, sustainable products. It’s like giving two Mother’s Day gifts this year. Whatever makes her smile—soaps, face serum, wool dryer balls—you get the picture, Uvida has it and more. And if she needs a refill on any shampoos, gels or lotions, you can top off her favorites when you shop.

For moms who may (or may not) have a green thumb

Green thumb or not, you can help mom add green to her décor at Wesleaf Designs & Décor. You’ll find everything you need for a Mother’s Day gift that connects mom to nature, from hanging house plants to succulents and framed mosses. But what we love the most are the plant consultations with shop owner, Weslie Etienne Pierre, who’s always willing to lend her expertise to budding green thumbs.

For moms who have everything

If Mom’s got everything under the sun, and isn’t looking to add to her clutt…er…collection, why not give the gift of being a polli-neighbor? You can help the local pollinators thrive when you sponsor a butterfly, bird or bee through the Greenway. Not only will mom support the environment, but she’ll get a few tangible perks too. We’re talking cards, stickers and maybe even honey. Psst.. The Greenway Artisan Market returns on May 7, just in time for some last-minute Mother’s Day shopping.
