A list of great gift ideas for crunchy moms. If you have a crunchy mom (or person) in your life, these gifts are sure to make her (or him) happy!
I definitely wouldn’t consider myself to be a “crunchy mom” (I mean I’m not even a mom per se), but I am very frugal, I love to grow my own food, make my own food, compost, and shopping local to support local farmers and businesses.
While I’m not the crunchiest crunch who ever crunched (in fact, I’m pretty… silky?) I do try to make an effort to live a somewhat green, sustainable life.
What is a Crunchy Mom?
I’m not a huge fan of labels, but a supposed “crunchy mom” is someone who lives a more natural, green life. In the past, you could also find synonymous terms like granola mom, hippie mom, etc.
But basically, it’s someone trying to live a more natural lifestyle. And while I’m not perfect (I’m a huge meat eater), I do try to practice sustainability whenever I can.
Anyway, a crunchy mom will often make their own food, use cloth diapers, breast feed for longer periods of time, eat less or no meat, buy organic products, and/or grow their own vegetables.
So, if you’re looking for a frugal gift idea for a crunchy mom, or maybe you’re a crunchy mama looking to spoil yourself, or perhaps you’re like me – pretty silky but you try to do the best you can, then you might want to check out these great ideas!
