Green Tips for May

Gifts mom and the earth will love!

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 8, 2011. Are you looking for that special gift to show that special lady in your life just how much you love her? Whether you’re looking for a traditional gift, or something more special, you’ll find ideas below that please both your mom and Mother Earth.
 
1. Perfume
Perfumes are a perfect Mother’s Day gift, but they’re often filled with chemicals which are not great for Mom or Mother Earth. Try more natural options like those from Pacifica or Burt’s Bees, which makes solid perfumes perfect for moms on the go.

2. Organic Flowers
You’ve probably gotten her flowers before, but were they organic? Surprise your mom with a bouquet of flowers either at home or the office this Mother’s Day. Choose organic blooms from either organicbouquet.com or 1800flowers.com to show her how much you appreciate her!

3. A Garden
While what you actually give to your mom will be the seedlings you picked up from your local farmers’ market or nursery, that’s not the real gift. The real gift is the time you’ll spend together planting that garden and the memories that you’ll create.

4. Breakfast in Bed
Instead of driving to take your mom out for brunch, make her breakfast in bed! Waking up to the smell of organic coffee brewing and the sound of a sizzling skillet is always a treat. Knowing she doesn’t have to clean up the kitchen will be the cherry on top!
