Our 5 best-sellers for Mother's Day
1. Unpaper Towels: These washable, reusable towels are a must-have for any eco-conscious mom. They are durable, absorbent, and come in a variety of stylish patterns.
Here is what people say about them: "I absolutely *LOVE* these so much! We use them for everything, and they work so well. I love them because they work well for cleaning, they dry very quickly so you don't have a stinky dishrag or sponge laying around, etc. They also work so much better than paper towels for cleaning and they're super soft to use as napkins. They're easy to launder, and easy to roll."
2. Vejibag: For the mom who loves to cook, the Vejibag is the perfect gift. This bag keeps vegetables fresh and crisp for longer, reducing food waste and helping to keep produce out of landfills. We have it available in 4 different sizes.
3. Lavender Body Oil: Give the gift of relaxation with our lavender body oil. Made with all-natural ingredients, it is perfect for a soothing massage. The body oil leaves the skin soft and smooth, and the lavender scent will last all day (or night!). We also have facial serums and relaxation bath salts for all the pampering needs.
4. Swedish Cloths: These eco-friendly cloths are perfect for the mom who loves to keep her kitchen clean and tidy. They are reusable and compostable, making them a great alternative to traditional paper towels. We have more than 80 different designs available!

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT FLOWERS
Flowers are a popular gift choice for Mother's Day. U.S. consumers spend a total of nearly three billion U.S. dollars on flowers for Mother's Day (statista.com). But did you know that those flowers have a negative impact on the environment and human health? It's important to consider where and how they are sourced. Many imported flowers come with a high environmental cost due to the amount of resources needed to grow, preserve, package, and transport them. Choosing to buy sustainable flowers that are grown locally can make a big difference in reducing carbon emissions and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
By purchasing sustainable flowers, we are not only supporting local growers and their communities, but we are also helping to reduce the environmental impact of the flower industry. Sustainable flower farms prioritize using natural growing methods and avoiding harmful chemicals, which not only benefits the environment but also the workers who handle the flowers.
Here are a few options of local growers here in the Charlotte area: Wild Hope Farm, Blooms on 16, Renfrow Farms, Proper Flower, Street Fare Farm and Blackberry Ridge Farm.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mother's figures out there!
