Mother’s Day is coming up soon (don’t forget it, it’s the 22nd of March) and thousands will be doing the usual last minute dash to the shops for a card and flowers.  But there’s plenty of time to make it a more meaningful Mother’s Day this year, with a little bit of careful planning and some green savvy.  If you, like me, think of the earth as our mother too, make your gift a tribute to both the wonderful woman who brought you into this world, and the wonderful world that nurtures and keeps us alive.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

Bamboo Salad Hands - an extra pair of sustainable hands to help Mum keep hers clean when she’s tossing salads.

Ruby Red Organic Mandarin and Lemon Body Smoothing Scrub - handmade, organic and chemical-free Dead Sea salt scrub that’s very refreshing for even the most sensitive skin.

Sun Jar - a clip-sealed jam jar fitted with a solar powered bulb that casts a soft glow at night after a day spent in direct sunlight.

The Pocket Garden Organic Herbs - a miniature herb garden in a pouch that only needs to be cut open, seeds added and watered for a green reminder to your Mum of how much you love her.
