Mother’s Day Gift Ideas: The Quarantine Edition
The whole world’s inside, and the streets are asleep, and, at Marina De Buchi HQ, lockdown directly corresponds to additional pamper time and more self-care. And, as Mother’s Day rolls in, we’ve been daydreaming about all the conscious and sustainable gift ideas that are perfect for celebrating and uplifting deserving moms.
The Marina De Buchi ethos is one of giving back, and we love supporting brands that share our ideals. We’ve collated the most thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas from businesses whose philosophies resonate with ours: including brands that donate their proceeds to charity, those with impeccable environmental values, and more.
This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating moms by protecting mother nature.
The Mother Nature-Loving Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Quarant(w)ine
Rejoice, vino-devourers, because Ashton and Mila Kutcher’s new initiative has made cracking open that second bottle of furlough merlot even easier.
Partnering with Nocking Point, the Kutchers have created Quarantine Wine, donating all profits to five hand-picked C-19 relief charities. Grab two bottles of Quarantine Pinot Noir for just $50 and have them shipped straight to your mom’s doorstep. Or, deliver them home so you can personalize the blank label and make a toast to Mom.
If wine’s not quite enough this Mother’s Day, double up on personalized gifts and pair this present with Marina De Buchi’s initial lumiela necklace.
Perks: Free delivery on all US orders, and $10 off for Knocking Point members
Cruelty-Free Kálos
With simple, effective and conscious skincare at the heart of Kálos, this brand donates a portion of every purchase to educate, empower and liberate girls around the world.
We caught up with Founder Nadia to learn more about her brand: “Our products are consciously created, naturally derived, and of course, cruelty-free.
“The Rose Water Hydra-Mist is one of our best-sellers and a beautiful ritual product,” Nadia continued. “You can keep the bottle on your nightstand, or even leave it in the fridge to have a refreshing spritz throughout the day. Perfect for a moment of self-care that mothers deserve the most!” Purchase alone or part of the pristinely packaged Conscious Favorites Gift Collection.

A Floral Touch
Sprucing up the house has never been as important as it is now. And nor has supporting small businesses.
Connect with the community and call your mom’s local florist to have them deliver a bunch of her favorite flowers or plant. Go green and opt for dried florals and; these beauties use less energy when stored and transported, and they’ll radiate their magic for up to a year!
Perks: supporting local business
Handmade Himalayan Bath Salts
We’re learning to appreciate the little things in lockdown, and this includes whiling away the evenings in a steamy, fragrant bath, with a good book and a glass of wine. Like us, moms across the globe are taking to the tub en masse, and bath salts have truly become the perfect wind down companion.
Take your quarantine activities to the next level and make your mom our handmade Himalayan potion.
Here’s what you’ll need (or household variants of):
- 3 cups Epsom salts
- 1 cup Himalayan pink salt
- Dried rose petals (or lavender)
- 15 drops jojoba oil (or lavender/orange essential oils)
- Your prettiest old jars
- 1 large bowl
- 1 mixing spoon
And here’s how you do it:
Step 1: (After you’ve successfully eaten an entire year’s worth of jarred food in one sitting) mix all ingredients in a bowl; pour and store
Step 2: Personalize with ribbons, a card and your mom’s favorite Marina De Buchi bracelet.
Ta-da!
