Day of (green) relaxation At the top of every mom’s wish list? An afternoon filled with peace, quiet, and pampering. Let her have it with a gift certificate to an eco-friendly spa; find listings of ones near you at spaindex.com or innersensebeauty.com.
Fresh-from-the-kitchen herbs Mom can grow her own basil, parsley, thyme, and more right on the windowsill with Bambeco’s Culinary Herb Garden Set. Once the plants sprout in a few weeks, help her whip up a late-spring meal of pasta with pesto or tabbouleh (a Middle Eastern herb salad). ($25 for one kit, bambeco.com)
Wearable candles The organic, coconut-derived wax that makes up Objects With Purpose’s jarred candles doubles as a solid perfume (melt it, and it turns into body butter!). But be warned: With irresistible scents like fig and sage, rose and lychee, and jasmine and vanilla, it might be hard to choose just one! ($42 for one candle, objectswithpurpose.com)
DIY flowers Crafted from newspaper, bamboo skewers, and nontoxic paint, this is one bouquet that’ll never start to wilt. Want to go for some live blooms, too? Check out the eco-certified options from Organic Bouquet. (Bouquets starting at $30, organicbouquet.com)
And don’t forget the best gift of all—a subscription to KIWI! Get a year’s subscription for $11.95.
