One of the best things about spring is Mother’s Day! It’s one of the few days that everything is all about mom. Moms are such hard workers, so it’s nice to have a whole day dedicated to them. Let’s take a look at some of my favorite green gifts for Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n

Mother’s Day: Self Care<\/h2>\n

Spa day for Mom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Mother’s Day, stay green by giving Mom a royal spa treatment without ever leaving home. Start with a DIY foot soak<\/a>.\u00a0The essential oils and Epsom salt used in the soak mix\u00a0will help relieve stress and rid the body of toxins.\u00a0Then move on to a soothing bath with\u00a0DIY bath salts<\/a>. Try oils made from\u00a0lavender, lemon, peppermint and even aloe!\u00a0Add to the experience by giving her a homemade honey lemon sugar scrub<\/a>. Not only does it smell incredible, but it does wonders for the skin. Afterward mom can indulge in a bit of mango citrus body butter<\/a>\u00a0made from natural ingredients.<\/p>\n

Finding the right gift can be hard. Why put yourself through the stress, when you can make your own? DIY gifts are the perfect way to stay green and save green. Make your own tile photo coasters<\/a> and share a special moment with mom over tea or coffee. Channel your inner poet and\u00a0leave a sweet message for mom on a DIY memo mug<\/a>. These tea cup candles<\/a> are cute and useful. Have Mom use them during a relaxing bath or a late night read.<\/p>\n

Help Mom bring nature into her home with an\u00a0indoor herb garden<\/a>. Plant everyday herbs such as, ginger, mint, and rosemary. Soon Mom will have her own homegrown spice rack.\u00a0Is your mom your world? Give her a world of her own in this terrarium kit<\/a>. She can pick the plants and watch as they come to life.\u00a0Give back to Mom while giving back to Mother Earth and plant<\/a> or dedicate<\/a> a tree in her honor.\u00a0There are so many ways to say “I love you”, the nice thing is, it\u2019s up to you choose how!<\/p>\n
