Treat Yourself to Something Green for Mother's Day!

As I've been oogling over some of the Mother's Day gift guides that have come my way, I've been wondering whether or not very many men actually end up seeing them. After all, many of theses guides are found on Mom-focused blogs and websites - places my husband certainly doesn't go for gift ideas.

Not that I'm complaining. My husband is actually really awesome about making Mother's Day special! But I got to thinking that maybe Mother's Day could be a day to justify buying or doing something special for yourself....as in scheduling a massage, treating yourself to a lunch out at your favorite cafe or even buying something you are coveting from one of those gift guides!

When I treat myself, it's usually with pampering body care products, fun shoes or pretty jewelry. Want to see what I'm dreaming of this Mother's Day?

Jewelry from the Andean Collection - made with tagua nuts, acai seeds and other eco-friendly materials:

Organic Skincare from Medicine Mama's Apothecary - Hand-crafted skin creams made with soothing honey, purifying propolis and moisturizing organic oils (get 10% off your order with code MothersDay):

A pair of sporty new shoes from Kigo - Minimalist style shoes made with recycled CYCLEPET fabric and PLUSfoam outsoles. Use discount code FORMOM for a 20% discount through 5/16/12:

 

Earrings from Etsy seller Kelly Johnston - made from vintage Lucite, crystal, metal and wood beads:

A sweet pair of summer sandals from Jambu - made with partially recycled outsoles and packaged in an awesome reusable box (perfect for Legos!):

A really nice facial soap from True Body - made with shea butter, Maurita Flexuosa fruit oil and other natural, sustainably derived oils:

Do you ever treat yourself for Mother's Day? What is your favorite gift to give yourself?

 

 

(Disclosure: I received free samples from Medicine Mama, Kigo, Jambu and True Body in exchange for my honest opinion.)

So much drama in my family right now, I waited to the last minute to buy my mom something. Now I have to pick her something up out of the store. I would have loved that necklace. It's gorgeous

[Krista Morgan]

I'm ALWAYS searching for green ideas! I am new to the blogging community and am impressed with all that have learned. You have a wonderful page!

[Micaela]

Well I hope you get something nice for yourself too Michelle!

[Micaela]

Thanks Krista!

[Robin]

I love to splurge on a pair of shoes. Those Kigos look very cute!

[Anne]

Have to admit my most welcome gift is that of time...to go for a run by myself!

[Micaela]

I totally agree Anne! Time alone is precious!

[Nívea Salgado]

Hi, Micaela, I just read your post, some days after Mother´s Day. This year I got a wonderful green gift: salt with rue soaps. Here in Brazil many people believe that these two components help to balance one´s energy, cleaning up the "bad fluids". I don´t know if it is true, mas the fact is that they are fragrant, natural and you feel great after a shower with them!

[Micaela]

Hi Nivea - those soaps sound very interesting! I'm going to keep my eyes out for them here in the United States.

[Karen @ Mother's Day Flowers]

Is that necklace still available to be bought on the Andean Collection? I can't seem to find it on the site; maybe I'm just blind. If someone could help, I would really appreciate it!
