Honor Thy Mother …Our Green-Guide to Celebrating Mom

Honor Thy Mother …Our Green-Guide to Celebrating Mom

Celebrate Mother’s Day and our Mother Earth by shopping online to help reduce the environmental impact of traditional brick and mortar retail. What a smart way to honor those that continue to nurture us all and take advantage of e-commerce’s green benefits in the process.

Give your mother a gift this Mother’s Day that is not only stylish but smart too. Reluminati’s Reware line fuses green ingenuity with everyday practicality and fashion. Their solar beach tote is the Prius of beach bags. While at the beach, you won’t be the only one soaking up the sun’s rays, your cell phone or ipod will be charging up their batteries while you work on your tan. Another great item from their line is their awesome everyday plastic bottle purse – what? Carry plastic bottles? Yep that’s right – this chic hobo bag is made of recycled plastic soda bottles. Roomy and versatile, it’s a great carryall and the perfect green accessory for mom.

Have an active mom? Get her on the road with style and comfort. The Novara Mia women’s bike has everything she needs. Easy-handling with a step through frame, 24 speeds, and sassy color scheme with a retro feel – all the while optimizing her comfort by placing her at a fully upright position. Accessorize her with the Haiku faux-leather and embroidery detailed messenger bag and the Hula Lounge bike helmet - and away she goes…

For moms of all ages classic design and comfortable fabrics are essential. This is greenloop. They represent the fusion of aesthetics and ethics, of style and sustainability with their look good AND do good sense of style. Surprise mom with the springtime tunic/shirt dress, which can be dressed, up or down. Or, if you know she’ll love something more sophisticated that’s comfortable too — the Beth dress is a perfect pick. If your mom loves feminine and pretty, greenloop’s delicate batik silk dress with spaghetti straps is ideal.
