Here are some of the most popular Mother's Day gifts. However, we would like to suggest a more sustainable choice this year.
Flowers - choose Fair Trade or organic flowers from a number of retailers (check Fair Trade Certified for a list of retailers).
Chocolate - choose Fair Trade chocolate.
Dinner or Lunch - choose a local restaurant that serves local and organic foods, or visit the farmer's market and you do the cooking!
Jewelry - why choose a conflict diamond or ruby when you can choose Fair Trade items or something made from recycled materials? Over 100 retailers are listed on the Fair Trade Federation website.
Gifts - Fair Trade, recycled, natural, or organic gifts of any kind or visit Changing the Present for gifts that benefit nonprofits.
Cards - send eCards through Care2, Blue Mountain Cares, Three Leaf Cards, Mother's Day for Peace, or any number of others that make a charitable donation when you send an electronic card. But you say you want the old-fashioned paper card? No problem. Purchase from (or make a donation to) Komen for the Cure, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Doorways for Women and Families, or Women for Women International.
