This is the busiest time of the year when it comes to gift giving. Everyone wants to honor their Mother and other beautiful women in their lives. But how can you do that without breaking the bank. You can always share a beautiful experience or cook a beautiful meal…which I would highly recommend and will talk about later this week.
For those of you who would like to send a little something special to your mama while also honoring Mother Earth, here are a few ideas under $50.
BOBO’s n’ More
How about a set of Bamboo Bangles, Mother of Pearl Card Case or Compact Mirror, or Celadon Tea Set – all pre-wrapped in a gorgeous BOBO Wrap and ready to delight!
All 2-in one gift choices, each of the these gift ideas are the newest arrivals available for Mother’s Day from www.BOBOWrap.com. BOBO Wrap is a multi-purpose eco-luxe accessory that can be used to wrap anything – including gifts, stacks of paper, a bottle of wine, a water bottle, even your lunch or tissue box.
For your reference, wrapping scarves are a simple but ingenious tradition that Asians used for centuries before the widespread use of disposable wrapping paper and bags. Patricia Lee, founder of BOBO has also recently written the book, “The Wrapping Scarf Revolution” which helps consumers say “no thanks” to paper and plastic, and features step-by-step, easy do-it-yourself techniques on how wrapping scarves can be easily integrated into everyday lifestyles. This too makes a great gift!
*** For Father’s Day, BOBO has a gorgeous set of Mother of Pearl Cuff Links and Tie Clip Set available. See here: www.bobowrap.com/moofpeculian.html
Handcrafted Soy Candles
For Mother’s Day, Butterfly Effects (www.OurButterflyEffects.com) – a socially-conscious and eco-friendly line of natural soy candles and home fragrances – will be also featuring special scents, including: White Tea & Berries, Pink Sugar and more. Among these, the line offers over 50 other fragrances from which to choose – there’s something for everyone! (The Mother’s Day selections will be packaged in recyclable materials and decorated perfectly for gift-giving!)
The line’s handcrafted soy candles contain no color additives or dyes, GMO’s, paraffin, pesticides or herbicides. Butterfly Effects is based on the physics concept that observes the impact of small actions on the overall outcome of an event. It is the company’s belief that each hand-poured candle represents a small step towards the potential of having a dramatic impact on the preservation of our environment.
Fashion-Forward Bangles
Made from recycled magazines, these fashion forward and eco-friendly Recycled Planet bangle bracelets are available in three different (all gorgeous) patterns – another fabulous find from fashion stylist Amy Gordon – and a great Mother’s Day gift for the fashion-forward gal!
The bracelets retail for $48 and are available exclusively at Artfulwears.com – an online boutique perfect for those who appreciate cutting-edge designs and believe that style means more than just following the leader!
Who knew a magazine would look so good on the wrist, right?!
Enjoy!
