Your momma so green...

This Sunday, it’s all about Mum. If you’re still shopping for a gift, don’t neglect to leave Momma Nature out of the equation, too.

Mon, May 04 2009 at 8:54 PM EST

Mother Nature’s big day was in April. Now there are only a few days left until that special Sunday that we’ve (in the U.S., anyway) set aside to honor our own moms, madres, mamans, mutters, and what have you.
 
I’m mercifully all taken care of in the gift department (thank you Tiburon, Baked and La Familia Green) but I’m guessing plenty of sons, daughters and mother admirers are still struggling to find a special gift for that special lady. Below are 10 (cus that's what my mom scores) unique, home-centric gifts that I’m guessing every eco-momma on the block won’t be receiving on Sunday.
 
So please, don’t be the one sending Mom an Edible Arrangement (ack!) or expiring flowers (okay, but not exactly creative and you have to be careful in making sure they’re of the fairly traded variety). Make it special.

These are some really cute and unique ideas. For Mother's Day I love my boys to fill a pot with living flowers for on my porch.

That's understandable that money makes us independent. But what to do if someone does not have cash? The one way only is to get the business loans and collateral loan.
