FILL YOUR OWN

Food and Gardens

• Chocolate is one of the staples of Mother's Day gifts. Keep it fair trade and ethical. Find a variety at your local health food market.

• Support local businesses and go to your local farmers market this weekend. Create your own gift basket including locally made delectable treats for mom. How about getting mom some organic veggie starters or flowers and herbs for her window planters.

• Check out Fill Your Own's super cute poppy reusable shopping tote. Totes are more readily available now to help shoppers save on plastic.

DIY

• For those of you that like to get crafty, make mom her very own reusable veggie bags. Use popular fabrics such as mosquito netting, nylon mesh or sheer curtain fabric. Add your own touch to make them unique (like a patterned fabric draw string). Making produce bags at home ensures that they will be right size for your needs and save on plastic. The internet is a great go to tool for inspiration Mother Earth News offers some tips.

PROPHETIK AND GRIFFIN TECHNOLOGY
