Mom is special - no doubt about it. And although we should appreciate her, and show her we appreciate her, year around, it is extremely important that we make sure she knows we love her on this one day a year that is dedicated to her.
Here are some great GREEN gifts to give Mom to show her how much you appreciate all that she did and still does:
Flowers: Moms love to get flowers (except for mine!). Flowers are beautiful and unnecessary - the perfect treat! Check out these great bouquets, wreaths and plants from Organic Bouquet and California Organic Flowers.
Herb Garden: Does your Mom like have fresh ingredients ? Then an herb garden may be the perfect gift. Check out this organic herb garden from Olive Barn.
Candles: Does Mom like candles? Then get her some candles that are more eco friendly but still work great and are better for you! Try Beeswax or Soy Candles. Not sure why these types of candles are better? Check out these two articles: Article 1 and Article 2
Chocolates: If your Mom loves chocolate, she will love there all natural and wonderful tasting chocolates and confections made by Vere Chocolates.
Makeup: Help Mom feel beautiful with a new look. Affordable Mineral Makeup is a green company that sells all natural and some organic makeup. They offer everything from foundations to lip gloss, brushes to eyeliner. Not sure what color is best for Mom? Contact me: brenda@purelynaturalminerals.com or buy a gift certificate and let her pick out her own.
Not into the material items? How about a homemade gift certificate? You can make it good for a cup of coffee, a nice dinner or a day of yard work. Or you can buy Mom a piece of our planet. Sponsor one of the many beautiful National Parks we are so blessed to have in her honor. Check out Sierra Club for details.
Thanks for all the great ideas!
