It's May...and that means Mother's Day for most of us, and full spring for those of us north of the equator. So I have some recommendations and sources for both of those.
Specials and Recommendations
First, the springtime stuff. Even those of you south of the equator can take a look at this, especially if you're in a temperate climate. And if you're not, spring will return! If you're in gardening mode and looking to develop your own organic garden, I've found some resources for you. Here's a guide book called "Companion Planting: Complete Guide to Healthy Plants." It's by an Australian woman who goes over things like what plants to grow together, how to attract the beneficial insects, how much to plant for your family, and more.
For more information on living an organic lifestyle year-round, including in gardening season, try "The Ultimate Organic Lifestyle." Not just food, but clothing, furniture...things I wouldn't even thought of.
Both of these ebooks come with guarantees, so be sure to take a look.
Now...on to Mom.
Flowers, gifts and such: In the U.S., take a look at Organic Bouquet. They have all kinds of wonderful Mother's Day ideas, and are even offering a free vase with your Mother's Day flowers.
In Australia, there's my perennial favorite, Rainbow Designs. All kinds of gifts, and free shipping throughout Australia.
Chocolate: In the U.S. and Canada, Chocolate Source is offering 10% off any purchase over $10 - just use coupon code MOM2007. That's good all the way through the end of July. Try Lake Champlain Chocolates if you're looking for kosher.
In Australia, try Definitely Chocolate. They have chocolate that's not only organic but vegan, wheat free, gluten free, even dairy free.
Fruit, etc.: GotFruit is about the easiest and has a good variety of boxes and baskets with fruits, nuts, and other goodies. U.S., free shipping too. There's always Hickory Farms, Mission Orchards, Pfaelzer Brothers, and Almond Plaza as well, and while they may have a wider variety in general, they don't have as much that's organic.
And if you need to browse, there's always amazon.com. If there's nothing interesting on the store front, browse the whole site.
I know I haven't covered everything. Browse the web site...there are pages and pages on wine, meat, produce, chocolate, and coffee, plus sources for wine and kitchen accessories. If you have any favorites or requests, let me know, or post them here.
