Gifts for moms should reflect a child’s deepest emotions and organic or homemade gifts are a great way of showing that you care. Here are some simple and easy green gift ideas for mothers for all occasions and holidays.

A Homemade Spa Gift Basket is a Great Green Gift for Moms

Exhausted and tired mothers will love to receive a basket filled with spa goodies designed to soothe and pamper their frayed nerves. Simply put together a basket filled with organic bath and body products – bath salts, body scrub, face pack or scrub, a rich lotion or cream, loofah and if possible, a plush robe.

One can either make these useful mom gifts at home using simple ingredients from the kitchen or buy them from a good organic products store.

To make an easy homemade face and body scrub, simply mix:

• a cup of white sugar
• a cup of brown sugar
• a teaspoon of cinnamon or ginger powder
• add almond or soybean oil
• whisk to break up any lumps

Spoon into a jar with a tight fitting lid, add a pretty label and voila, instant green gift for mom!

Organic Food Items are the Perfect Gift for Mothers

Moms love to cook and stocking their kitchen with food items from the organic food store is a great way to show that you care. Fill a basket or two filled with organic fresh produce and dry items such as pasta, flour, sugar, and bread and show them that their health and well-being mean a lot to you.

Organic Clothes are Thoughtful Green Gifts

Clothes are another great gift for mothers and are welcome on all occasions. Make the gift of clothes even more special by buying organic cotton clothes available at most major clothing stores. Organic clothes are not only better for the environment, but are also great for the skin since they allow the skin to breathe easy and stay fresh and cool.

Handmade Paper Goods Make Good Organic Presents
For moms who love to write, plan and keep in touch, organic or handmade paper products are a great gift. Notepads, greeting cards and diaries are all available in organic or recycled paper. Pair these with a fine pen and you have a great mom gift for any reason or occasion.

Moms deserve the best and while there are many gift ideas for mothers, green gifts are simply special. Organic or green gifts may be a little expensive; however, they make up for their cost by doing their bit for the environment and by being healthier and better for our skins and bodies. So, do use these green gift ideas for moms and let them feel pampered and truly cared for.
