Going Green For Mother's Day

What gifts can you buy for Mother’s Day that are environmentally friendly? With everyone going green these days why not buy Mom some environmentally friendly gifts?

What can you get Mom for Mother’s Day and save the earth at the same time?

Here are the top ten going green gift ideas:

1. How about getting Mom a goat? Or would this idea be more suited for a Dad? Get Mom a goat this year for Mother’s Day so she doesn’t have to mow the lawn . A goat can do all the work munching on the lawn, and you’ll be saving the planet at the same time.

2. Get Mom potted--- plants, that is. The kids can plant a garden from seeds, so Mom can sit back and watch the plants grow. Just make sure you put a fence around the flowers so the goat doesn’t eat them.

3. Buy gifts on the Internet from the comfort of your home. This way you won’t be emitting pollution into the air, thus keeping the air safe for everyone. And with gas so expensive, you’ll be saving money in the long run. Hey, if you get free shipping with your online purchase, you are that much further ahead.

4. Let's get this compost started! Start a compost area right in your very own kitchen by purchasing an inexpensive home composting kit with a plastic bin. They come with a supply of red worms and instructions on how to get the composting started. Hey, the kids will love seeing the worms wriggling around, in the house!

5. Buy Mom an environmentally friendly windmill of her very own. She’ll be thrilled with this expensive but super green machine. She will be so happy when she realizes all the energy you will be saving.

6. Plant a tree near the house. A tree that produces pretty flowers during the spring will be an added bonus. This way the house gets some shade during warmer months and serves as a windbreak during colder windier months.

7. Buy Mom some sweet smelling natural products that are environmentally friendly. Buying Mom natural products that can be purchased at a food co-op and even some of the big-box stores such as hand cream, body lotion, and even lip balms can be a GREEN way to go.

8. Don't be a tightwad! Buy some of those canvas bags and put a nice gift in one of them. She’ll be so happy at the sight of those incredibly versatile, yet incredibly ugly bags, she’ll have hugs and kisses for everyone. And of course, she’ll love the gift too!

9. Buy Mom some vintage clothing or thrift shop garb. This way you are saving money, but reusing clothing in a very good way. Consignment shops and thrift stores in very pricey neighborhoods carry some designer clothing, purses and shoes for super savings!

10. Here’s a great way for Mom to work out and get some close to home errands completed. Get Mom a bike. This way she can ride to nearby stores to get quick errands done, and save gas money and the environment at the same time.
