When it comes to Mother’s Day, some eco-bling is always appreciated, but so are cool home items. Especially if the mama you’re shopping for is trying to create a green and healthy home atmosphere. That said, you should never go too boring with Mother’s Day gifts (NOTE: mamas don’t want an energy efficient blender). Something fun, beautiful, or unique is called for here.
How about…
Shoji Lantern – SO beautiful and made with pressed leaves from the Hong Kong orchid tree, along with handcrafted mulberry paper stretched on frames of recycled pine wood and sustainable acacia wood. These are lovely and glowing, and can be used on a table or as wall sconces.
Great recycled misprint letters spelling out garden or grow. These letter are made from misprinted soda, juice, and soup can metal from heading to the landfill.
Mandala Reclaimed Record Bowl – these are amazing, and don’t even look like records! Made from old vinyl LPs, these records receive a cool mandala design and then are molded into flower-shaped containers. The spindle hole’s have been sealed too so these bowls are actually water-tight.
Teak Spirit House – Perfect for a mama who gardens or who likes a relaxing atmosphere on the patio. This little spirit house is charming and hand-crafted from sustainable all-weather teak.
Have you already planned your eco-Mother’s Day gifts? What are you giving this year?
