Earth911 Mother’s Day Gift Guide
“Mom, you’re the bees knees.” Honestly, the gift card on this one just writes itself: a jar of local honey is an, um, sweet gift that supports nearby apiaries, dwindling bee populations and the area’s ecosystem. The National Honey Board offers this tool for partial listings by state, but farmers markets are good bets, too. Or if she’s an avid cook, give her a season of local, organic foods with a share in a Community Supported Agriculture program: a weekly subscription of produce direct from the farm. Find a directory here.

I really like the idea of giving gifts that benefit charity. My mother loved getting a charity gift card last year. Check out http://www.tisbest.org for charity gift cards–they’re even customizable!
