Ok, ok, I’ll admit it. Mother’s Day was born from the corporate strategists at Hallmark, but who wants to be a grinch . . . especially when it comes to your mother, the woman who gave you life and . . . well . . . pretty much most of hers? I say, honor thy mother by honoring nature.
Instead of pesticide-infused flowers or a toxic mani-pedi , pamper her with planet-friendly presents. The options are endless. Here’s a list of my five fave eco-chick Mother’s Day gifts.
1. Radley’s Recycled Plastic Umbrella .
2. A pesticide-free bouquet from Organic Bouquet.
3. Under the Canopy’s 100 Percent Organic Cotton Robe . . . or why not indulge her with some of their exceptional 100 percent organic cotton bedding .
4. Priti Polish for non-toxic tootsies.
5. A Sigg water bottle . . . in a pretty print of course.
Happy Mother’s Day . . . remember it’s coming up soon, May 11th for you slackers.

I love giving trees and bushes as gifts because they’re pretty, often something people won’t buy for themselves, alive, AND they suck Carbon like it’s their job.
