Here are 7 Great Green Gifts Ideas for eco-conscious moms. Yes, I’m a mom and I would love any of these green eco-friendly gifts for mother’s day …. Hint/Hint hope my kids read this post. 
 
1. Dinner at Faux Pas Bristo offering Carpool Valet in L.A. 
 
Faux Pas Bistro is launching their unique “carpool valet” idea – if
you arrive with three or more people in your car, the valet parking is on the house! Parking and traffic is always a hassle in LA and what better way to save on gas and parking than to receive free valet when dining at Faux Pas Bistro this Mother's Day. Mom and the family ride together.
 
  2.   A Yoga Class 
         
Celebrate Mother's Day by taking Mom to a yoga class! Yoga is a great, natural way to improve health & wellness and keep Mom around for many years. Show your Mom you really care about her health by giving her an Embrace Activism yoga mat. With an emphasis on comfort and health, our yoga mats will enhance her yoga practice. Embrace Activism yoga products are health and eco-friendly...no heavy metals were used in the manufacture and our products contain no phthalates or latex.
 
An added bonus: 10% of your purchase is donated to a breast cancer charity you choose. Using Embrace Activism yoga products will not only help you improve your health but make a difference in the health of others...the ultimate in recycling!
 
3.  A Green Book 
 
This Mother's Day, family and friends can delight the eco-conscious moms in their lives with a gift that gets to the heart of motherhood LEMONS AND LAVENDER for Mother's Day, Author Billee Sharp shares her freecycling, budget-savvy, barter-better wisdom in this step-by-step handbook for revolutionizing spending habits and reclaiming quality of life. 
 
LEMONS AND LAVENDER is an inspiring and instructive guide to living the handmade life by consuming less and creating more. Practical and profound, this handy how-to covers every area of life and offers easy-to-do tips, recipes, and advice for saving money and the planet. With this guide, families can live more joyfully and far more creatively, all on a dime.
 
 
4. Beauty Gifts 
 
Utilizes two different types of light therapy (both LED and infrared) to penetrate the skin on two different levels which increases collagen production and, in turn, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pore size and redness and helps mothers achieve healthier looking skin. The ANSR: HALO is used for 5 minutes, twice a day and eco-conscious because it's reusable and doesn't require water. It's also a very "mobile" device for moms on the go.
 
The product can safely be used at home, making it a great addition to any skin care routine and beauty gift this Mother's Day. 
 
 
5. Natural Beauty must-haves
 
Desert Essence has a variety of all-natural beauty must-haves for Mother's Day to keep Mom looking and feeling great from head to toe. From Tea Tree Oil that's used for post manicure treatments, Coconut Hair Styling Products, Spicy Vanilla washes and body lotions to Gentle Nourishing facial regimens.
 
Desert Essence supports sustainability and recycling initiatives and prohibits all animal testing on raw materials and finished products.
 
And last but for sure not least on of my always favorite…
 
6. Maggies Bags 
 
Maggies Bags are made from recycled Seatbelt they are beautiful, and is great to know that getting recycled product closes the loop of recycling.  I just love Maggies Bags because diverts usable products from our landfills and saves the resources needed to make new materials.
 
The worldwide demand for automobiles has left behind an abundance of surplus man-made materials. Each year millions of yards of seat belt webbing are rejected for the slightest color variation, making the strap useless to the automaker. Originally designed to be used as the life saving seatbelt in your car, this polyester material is of the highest quality and made to last. Maggie Bags give new life to the unwanted fabric by creating a beautiful line of sophisticated handbags. Woo hoooo
