Options for This Page

About this list:

Anybody can get Mom perfume, clip-on earrings, or a gift certificate to Hometown Buffet. But how many of you can select a gift that will render her speechless? One that makes her wonder on which side of the family the gene mutation occurred. Show her your originality and modishness. Peruse this list of gifts I could never give my own Mother. I'll start checking out the earring sales rack at Macy's....

Qualifications:

Experienced daughter and mother. Sporadic wife.

Holy support wires Robin. Squeeze me up Scotty.

This is a real made-to-order corset and it is soooo cool. The Vintage Doctor has the sweetest line of clothing. I owe Ali credit for finding this.

Savon Noir - Kaeline le Hammam Home Spa

First to recommend

Description

Clean, clean, clean! That is how you will feel and smell after a wash with this all natural olive oil and salt based soft soap. Gentle enough for your face and entire body. Use a loofah or special hammam mitt to gently exfoliate your body. Rinse and then use a rhassoul clay mask, also by Kaeline, to tighten and smooth your skin. Finish with L'Huile de Beaute 100% organic argan oil and your skin will look so fabulous you won't want to put on clothes. Now that's wild beauty at its best!! (via Xandra Renouvelle)

Handmilled Soap Pebbles from Afghanistan - Not Potatoes

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is not a depiction of the five life stages of a peeled potato. These unique handmilled soap pebbles, made in Afghanistan, are beautiful, extremely creamy and delicately scented--and they last much longer than a peeled potato, especially if you never get them wet. . The supersaturated eco-friendly soaps are molded to resemble beautifully polished, slightly irregular marble river stones that oddly enough, resemble potatoes.. The craftsmen use natural ingredients purchased from local farmers and their own distilled fragrances and natural coloring. No potatoes were harmed in the making of this recommendation.

These three-inch angels, made from recycled soda cans, are perfect gifts for co-workers, volunteers, green friends and YOU! Besides being recycled and affordable, the angels impact the Zulu students who made them, providing them with food, clothes, education and a sense of pride and self-worth.

These limited edition ornaments will be available while supplies last.
