Shibori tie-dye gifts are a big hit this year and today I thought I'd put together a gift guide which includes Shibori, Indigo and natural colours which complement that style. Whether you are buying a Mother's Day gift, a gift for your girlfriend or you are buying a Mother's Day present for yourself (yes, I have friends who do this!), these Shibori tie-dye gifts will be right up her alley.
Combine White & Sand coloured 'Naturals'
Don't you just love the beautiful Shibori tie-dye patterns on summer shirts and scarves? Does the gorgeous indigo colour tie you up in a Shibori twist? (See what I did there 😉 Combined with white and sand coloured naturals, Shibori tie-dye is a perfect choice for Summer essentials and accessories. In this post, I'm sharing a few of my favourite gift ideas for ladies who love the beachy, tie-dye look but prefer a touch more class when creating their perfect Summer tie-dye outfit.
Matching Accessories - Shibori tie-dye Gifts
I've also chosen accessories which complement beautifully with Shibori tie-dye patterns and the gorgeous indigo colour. Natural sandy tones together with crisp summer whites, these are colours which can be worn throughout Spring and Summer, right up until Autumn.
Jewellery - Shibori tie-dye Gifts
Of course, no self-respecting gift guide would be complete without a smattering of gorgeous jewellery. Not to disappoint, I've included some jewellery which not only complements the casual Shibori tie-dye style but also adds texture, like the lotus flower, cork, wrap bracelet and the Portuguese, natural cork necklace. Those who prefer a bit more glam will love the Sterling Silver Blue Kyanite ring, the gold recycled dangle earrings, the vintage Aurora Borealis Diamante earrings or the personalized birthstone necklace – as you can see, there are Shibori tie-dye gifts here for everyone, even the ones who are hard to buy for.
Choose sustainable Gifts
As always, I've tried to include as many sellers as possible who are dedicated to offering sustainable products and who use ethically and sustainably sourced materials.
I can't wait for you to see these gorgeous gifts so without further ado, let's get started with this gift guide for lovers of the Shibori or tie-dye Spring and Summer style.
Jewellery
Blue Kyanite Ring
First up, this Sterling Silver blue Kyanite ring is just to dye for. Kyanite has a calming effect and moves energy gently through your body dispelling energy blockages and creating balance.
Silver Plated Birthstone Necklace
This beautiful silver plated birthstone necklace can be personalized with an initial of your choice which is added to a delicate leaf charm.
Aurora Borealis Earrings
I chose these Vintage Aurora Borealis Bead Earrings with Diamanté Rhinestones because they are so pretty and classic. They are a rare find from the 1950s.
Long Gold Dangle Earrings
No prizes for why I chose these gold long dangle earrings! Not only are they gorgeous but they are made from recycled metal that was re-cut and reshaped from broken jewellery pieces.
Lotus Flower Charm Bracelet
For a more casual daytime look, this sterling silver Lotus Flower charm and Portuguese cork triple wrap bracelet for women is perfect. The lotus flower is known as the symbol of purity of the heart and mind, beauty, spiritual awakening, enlightenment, prosperity, faithfulness and eternity. It represents long life, health, honour and good luck. Other charms are available on request.
Blue & White Cork Pendant
Another eco-friendly option is this Stainless Steel and Cork necklace. Made from Portuguese natural cork, the pendant has an intricate blue and white 'medina' style tile pattern.
Shibori Tie-dye Phone Case
This tie-dye design is a real show stopper but to be honest, this seller has so many gorgeous designs that it was difficult for me to choose just one! This shop sells gorgeous iPhone and android phone cases for anyone whose phone needs a little bit more protection and they can be personalized with your initials of choice.

Be kind, choose joy! What a wonderful quote to keep you inspired all day long!
Indigo Botanical Prints
This Indigo Botanical Print set will bring a breath of fresh air to any gallery wall! You're just buying the prints without the frames so these will be easy to send via post!
Merino Wool Cross Body Bag
For tactile people this super soft merino wool bag is perfect. It has a gorgeous intricate pattern front and back and could be used to store necessities on casual day trips or evening outings. I particularly love that the leather strap can be adjusted so it will sit perfectly whatever your height. This is a lovely accessory to go along with other Shibori tie-dye Gifts, like the iPhone case above.
Award-winning Vegan Ballerinas
Can you believe these vegan Ballerina flats are made from upcycled canvas? They come in a variety of colours and are so good, they were a product design award winner (BIG SEE 2019). One person's rating of these shoes says “It's one of the most comfortable shoes I ever had.....….A must-have shoe for every zero-waste comfort lover out there.” Well, you can't argue with that!
Luxury Bamboo Pyjamas
This luxury handmade pyjama set is not only gorgeous to look at, but it's also soft and comfy because it's made of Lyocell bamboo, a renewable plant source which is silky soft and creates an eco-friendly fabric. The pyjamas also come in black if white is not your jam!
Shibori Tie-Dye Leather Tote
Can you believe this tote bag is made of leather? The patterns have been produced by applying shibori techniques of twisting and tying the leather before it enters the dye pot so each bag is one of a kind. These totes are made to order so if you are buying this as a gift, avoid disappointment by making sure to order well in advance.
Handmade Cork Cross Body Bag
This seller has so many gorgeous bags for men and women, it was hard to make a choice here. In the end, I thought the colour of this handmade cross body cork bag matched the mood I was going for with this gift guide. Everyone is raving about these bags and the service they received from this seller – 5-star ratings all around!
Handmade Stationery - Ginko leaf
Another "Little shop of treasures" for me and again the choice here is amazing. Here we have three handprinted notebooks in three different sizes. This stationery set is handmade and it's the perfect gift for paper lovers.
Elegant Linen Scarf
Mindfully made with the highest standards of ethical responsibility, this gorgeous indigo,100% linen scarf is a favourite elegant woman's accessory! Perfect for draping around the shoulders on cool summer nights!
Make-up bag from Recycled Fabrics
This gorgeous gold and grey make-up pouch Each bag is another eye-catcher. Can you believe it's made with recycled fabrics?
Minimalist Yoga Art Prints
I'm a 'Yogi' and absolutely love these minimalist wall art prints made from recycled paper. These prints are an excellent quality mix of 50% coffee cup waste (destined for landfill) coupled with 50% recycled paper from the mill. With loads of different prints to choose from your only problem will be choosing one!
Shibori Tie-Dye Soft Canvas Cushion
If we're going to put out heads down, it may as well be on some beautiful Shibori style soft organic canvas cushions!
Versatile Linen-blend Scrunchie
Last but not least, a scrunchie! Not any old scrunchi though! This one is so versatile it will work with the finest to the thickest of locks. It has a detachable tail so it can be worn as a hair scarf, scrunchie, or wrap. Hand sewn with love from start to finish with quality, sustainable materials.
Concluding this natural & Shibori tie-dye gift guide
There is so much gorgeous inspiration here and hope that you find some natural, sustainable and Shibori tie-dye gifts to please even the hardest person to buy for.

Julie Briones says
I love your collection of Shibori gifts for Mother's Day, Jayne... I tried clicking on your links, but they all lead to an Etsy home page... Do you have links to the actual gifts? Would love to see them! Here by way of Silver Pennies Sunday... We'd love to have you link up at Tuesday Turn About... we open on Tuesdays at 5pm CST... Hope to see you there!
Jayne Westerholt says
Thanks for letting me know about the links Julie. I'm sorry about the links directing to the Etsy home page, seems to be a technical issue which the Affiliate Network is already working on fixing for me. If there is a particular link you are interested in, let me know and I can pop it in the comments here for you, otherwise, I hope that the issue will soon be fixed and all the links will work as usual. Looking forward to taking a Tuesday Turn About (or probably Wednesday in my case since we are in different time zones:)
