Go Green for Mom

We know that shopping for the perfect Mother’s Day present can be quite the task. How are we supposed to thank the woman who gave us everything?

Does a World’s Greatest Mom mug say, “Hey, thanks for giving me life?”

Does a bouquet of flowers tell her “I appreciate you for feeding me all of those years?”

Of course not. But lucky for us, Moms are an understanding bunch, and it truly is the thought that counts!

This year, we want to help you do something a little different for the ladies who fill the mom role in your life. Because it is the thought that counts, let’s change that thought to something unique. Something a little healthier than usual—something that makes everyone feel good.

We’re going Green this Mother’s Day, and you can too! Here is a list of healthier, more Earth-friendly products and ideas to make this Mother’s Day special.

Does she like flowers?

Because check this out. From DIY perfumes and edible floral chocolate bars to flower magnets and planters, this list provides a variety of fun ways to think outside the bouquet this Mother’s Day.

Does she like makeup?

Instead of the typical drugstore brand makeup, treat her to a healthy alternative. The Afterglow brand is certified organic and cruelty-free, so not only will she look like a queen, but she can feel good while doing it!
