Are you looking for ways to say thanks to Mom this Mother's Day? With Mother's Day approaching quickly, it's time to decide how you will show your appreciation to mom for all that she's done throughout the year. The following is a list of popular Mother's Day gifts for you to consider this year:

1. Reusable Tote: Give mom the gift of going green by selecting a cotton tote bag that she can use every time she heads to the supermarket. To make it more personal, look for a blank canvas tote and use fabric markers to decorate it.
2. Plant, Don't Pick: Flowers are one of the most common gifts given to moms each year on Mother's Day. This year, instead of giving mom a pre-made bouquet, plant flowers for her or with her. This way, she'll get to enjoy her flowers all summer long!
3. Recycled Jewelry: Instead of spending your life's savings on a piece of jewelry, take this opportunity to make your mom her very own unique necklace or bracelet made out of jewelry that she, or you, no longer wear. A personalized piece of jewelry is sure to go a long way.
4. Spa Day/Products: Research local spas and see which of them offer eco-friendly services; talk about the gift of relaxation! If you can't find a spa in your area that offers this option, consider hitting your local pharmacy and select eco-friendly spa products that mom can use at home.
5. Wine and Chocolate: Two of mom's favorite things! And the good news? Certain brands make these products using organic ingredients, and even better, they're good for you! Check out your local health food store and select the items you think mom will like best.
