Give the gift of Greenheart — and give beyond.

This Mother’s Day, why not do more that just give….give with a purpose. If you choose your gift(s) from Greenheart, you’ll be doing more than getting a sentimental, handcrafted gift for Mom….you’ll be giving back to a fair trade organization who employs local artisans and craftswomen. You’ll be supporting local trade as well as purchasing organic and green products.

Greenheart, based in Chicago but with an expansive online storefront, has so many lovely items that would be just perfect for Mother’s Day this year:


Fair Trade Lemongrass Moisturing Lotion is a comforting salve for dry skin. Shea butter is among its ingredients, as well as a light sunscreen.


This Tan Scribble Bangle Bracelet is fashion-forward and fun. This piece was crafted in India through World Finds.


These Screen Printed Wallets are so springy and fresh! They are adequately sized to house all of your necessities.


I’d love to have this ring for myself! This Sterling Silver Flower Filigree Ring is simple yet stunning.

Win it! I have a gorgeous silk rose pin to from Greenheart to give away to one of you!

This lovely pin was handcrafted by artisans at Craft Link in Vietnam, who focuses on ethnic minorities, street children, and the disabled. For your chance to win, visit Greenheart and look around at their selection of handcrafted goods. Come back here and tell me, in one comment, another item that you’d love to give or receive for Mother’s Day this year (not mentioned in this post). I’ll close the contest next Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 11pm EST. US entries only. Good luck!

    I’d like to get the Heather Clutch Purse. Cute purses were one of the first things to go when I had kids.

    An item I would love to give to my mother is the Wire wrap egg-shape earrings – sterling silver. She likes tear drop earings. I think its flattering and you can wear the earing with any outfit.
