Top 10 Eco-Friendly Mother’s Day Gifts (GreenHouseofFashion Guest Post)

by Julia DiNardo

Via our friends at GreenHouseofFashion.com:

You green your wardrobe, you green your makeup, you green your every-day life, but do you green your MOM?! Well it’s time to start—goodness knows I have. Mother’s Day is just around the corner (on May 8th -write that down), so hopefully you are preparing adequately and by that I mean, planning on getting her an eco-friendly present. After all, we should take care of Mother Earth on this annual holiday as well, shouldn’t we?
I know this day can sneak up on a child. You turn around and WAM- you didn’t get a gift and your having brunch with the madre in two days and you’re screwed. So let this serve as a reminder and a source for easy, one-two-click suggestions, for great eco-friendly Mother’s Day Gifts.
My Top Ten Picks:


1. A pair of original Tom’s Shoes, $44, Toms.com:
Though I’m sure you’re familiar, these kicks are part of the One for One Movement, where one pair purchased (by YOU for your MOM), means one pair given to a child in need. They’re super comfortable and great for any mom to slip on for errand-running, walking the dog, walking to work or even just to throw a little eco-style into the mix.

2. It’s a Small World Diaper Bag, $119, Nordstrom: Does your mom/wife need to schlep around a ton of stuff all day? Maybe you need a gift for a mom of an un-potty-trained youngster? Not only is this really freakin’ cute (and could totally be used as a regular tote sans diapers), but it is crafted with eco-friendly organic cotton. It has loads of pockets for bottles, cell phones, diapers, wipes, you name it, and multiple straps for various carrying positions.

3. Sheila Fajl Quartz Necklace, $270, Endless.com: This gorgeous pendant necklace is handmade by artisans in Brazil using responsible, eco-friendly manufacturing processes. A stylish mother can don this gorgeous necklace every day as it goes with virtually any outfit-casual, fancy, corporate, you name it. She’ll love it (and you even more), for sure.

4. Sprout Watch, $64, Amazon.com: Sprout makes a seemingly endless array of chic eco-friendly watches. They use corn resin, which is 99% biodegradable to carbon dioxide and water within 365 days, conflict free diamonds, organic cotton, bamboo and more earth-friendly materials while remaining constantly aware of their environmental impact. If you don’t love my pick below, you’ll definitely be able to find one that suits the mom you’re buying for, so check out the full collection.

A Week After Earth Day, You Can Still Be Eco Chic: Brands to Know

by fashionpulse

Earth day may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be environmentally friendly and chic with your fashion-related options 364 days of the year! I recently attended a Robert Verdi Tweet This event entitled ‘Eco -Chic for Earth Day,’ and found out about some cool products that I had never heard of before! Here are my favorites, that I thought you’d like to know about:

Oboe Bags (pronounced oh-beau)  -stands for ‘One Bag One Earth’, made of reclaimed, recycled materials, are re-usable, and can fold up super small! Bags start out at about $5, depending on color and print.

Sprout Watches these watches range from 80-86% eco-friendly, and include materials such as corn resin, recycled fibers, organic cotton, bamboo,and a mercury free battery. The coolest part – it’s biodegradable! Watches retail for about $30.

Green Planet Search You can buy acreage and view all of the vegetation and animals on the land — in a rainforest reserve!  I may not be able to afford a square inch of land in NYC, but hey — at least I have a bit of rainforest to show off!

Essence of Vali Situated in the West Village, this brand takes aromatherapy to a whole new level — they are 100% natural and smell so great – terrific to mist in the air before you go to sleep!

Naya Shoes Made of recycled and sustainable materials, while maintaing a sense of style!
