In our last post, we offered a list of several events taking place in New York City that you could enjoy with mom to celebrate her special day. Now, to continue with the theme of Mother's Day, we'd like to suggest a few gift ideas that are sure to make her smile (and you can bet the environment will be too)!

If you're running a few last minute errands to get everything ready for Sunday, here are a few ecofriendly gift ideas for you to consider:

Flowers: Regardless of the type, flowers are always a big hit when given as a gift on Mother's Day. But don't forget to ask for the organic arrangement! And if a pre-made bouquet isn't at the top of your list, don't forget that you can also buy mom an assortment of flowers that she can plant and grow in her very own garden all season long.

Coffee Mug: We know what you're thinking - "I should get my mom a mug for Mother's Day?" While it does sound like that, we aren't talking about just any mug, we're talking about a reusable version that she can keep at her office. And if she isn't a coffee drinker? No problem! Look into a reusable water bottle instead.

Decorative Pillows: If your mom loves interior decor, then DIY decorative pillows are the way to go. Start by asking mom if she has an old blanket or t-shirt that she loves but no longer uses, then work to sew the fabric from it onto the pillow!

Wine: Would your mom like to sit back and relax with a glass of wine in hand? If so, organic wine is the perfect choice for an ecofriendly Mother's Day gift! If you can find her favorite flavor, you can bet this will be one gift she is sure to love!

Jewelry: Just like Valentine's Day, the days surrounding Mother's Day often include trips to the jewelry store. But did you know that you can give mom jewelry without even having to leave the house? If you want to get a bit more creative, consider making her a bracelet or necklace out of recycled materials, or, recycle some of her unworn jewelry into a new piece!
