Gifts for Mom:
Whether your mom is laid back or a go-getter, a foodie, or into beauty, there are plenty of gift ideas for mom that will give her a special thrill when she opens the wrapper.
For the relaxed mom, try all-natural massage oils or bubble bath, or a delicious tea sampler.
For a mom who loves to cook, try a home canning kit, or some tasty chocolates (though these are so tasty they might not make it into baked goods). :-)
If your mom loves to be pampered, safe and natural body products or makeup could hit the spot.
None of these sound quite right? Check out these 50 gift ideas for mom!

Gifts for Dad:
Dads can be notoriously hard to shop for (or maybe it's just mine), but if you're struggling for ideas, check out this handy list.
Does your dad love to barbecue? Try some bamboo grill tongs, or an organic spice rub kit.
For the dad who's into health and fitness, try a heavy-duty smoothie blender, or a BPA-free reusable sports water bottle.
And if your dad likes to pamper himself a bit, go for a cruelty-free all-natural skin care set.

Gifts for the Kids:
There's no shortage of kids' toys on store shelves before the holidays, but most toys these days are made from plastic - and usually packaged in lots of plastic wrapping as well - not so friendly for the environment.
Instead, try toys made from wood, natural and non-toxic paints or fun building kits, or other toys from eco-conscious companies.
Your kids will still have a blast, and you can feel good about not contributing excess waste or harming the planet. You can even explain to your kids (if they're old enough) why these toys are a better choice and how they are helping to save the planet.
