What can you get a minimalist mom for mother’s day? They don’t like stuff!
Today I am sharing some excellent gift ideas for the minimalist mom or any mom in your life! All of these gifts are so easy to find and a lot of them can be purchased last second on the internet or at a local store.
As a mom, I can tell you first hand, it is the thought that counts. We will love anything that you put some energy and thought into getting or making for us. Being a mom is a lot of work and the moms in our lives deserve the very best!

Eco Mother’s Day Gifts
Green Pans: If you are looking for a great set of eco-friendly non-toxic pans. We have been using these pans for almost a year and I love them.

You can buy these at most stores, or online, or you can make your own. I have a tutorial on how to make them here.
