With the April showers bringing May flowers there is no better reminder of the hottest consumer trend this year: Going green.
Environmentally friendly and thoughtful gifts are popular this Mother’s Day.
Here are some ideas to help you go green with your gift to mom:
For the fashionable mom – Eco-Friendly tote bags. Coming in a range of colours and some from well known designers, you can assemble a collection of cute, small and inexpensive reusable enviro-carriers for mom.
These portable little bags are practical but more importantly show how hip and environmentally savvy mom is.
For the practical mom – energy saving household products. Mom probably hasn’t made the move from her old countertop appliances or light bulbs to the more environmentally friendly, energy saving versions, so why not help get her started.
Even more appealing, many of the newest energy saving products come in modern designs and trendy colours – like a pink toaster.
For the compassionate mom – a donation to start a garden. Christian Children’s Fund of Canada, an international children’s charity, allows you to make a gift donation in your mother’s name to buy seeds, farm tools, and other growing supplies for other moms in poor countries around the world.
Simply by visit www.ccfcanada.ca and select a gift in your mom’s name.
