This time of year, green is everywhere. Glistening green Christmas trees, beautiful green garland wrapped around lamp posts lining the streets, and thankfully, lots of green gifts. But we're not talking about wrapping up a Kermit the Frog doll. No, we're taking note of the perfect present for that eco-friendly mom on your shopping list. Here are some of our favorite items that will not only make the planet-loving recipient happy, but Mother Nature, too.
1 Goop by Juicy Discovery Set
Gwyneth Paltrow has gone to great lengths to create a mostly organic skincare line that is free of parabens, petroleum, artificial dyes, and other harsh chemicals. The Goop by Juicy Discovery Set ($125) is an excellent way to introduce the mom in your life to something much gentler on the skin.

5 Uncommon Goods Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses
Ok, we realize this isn't the typical gift for a mom but let's be honest and realize that sometimes she needs to take the edge off, too. Uncommon Goods Himalayan Salt Tequila Glasses ($28-$45) are completely carved out of salt to give your tequila shot that perfect extra kick. The best part is they are naturally antibacterial, so no need to wash them clean.
6 Sprout Tree Hugger Mittens
If Mom is a tree hugger we're sure she'll want her child to be one, too. The 100 percent baby alpaca Sprout Tree Hugger Mittens ($68) are a great eco-friendly fashion statement.

Sometimes a candle is just the way to go. From the 100 percent unbleached cotton wick to the recycled glass tumbler, The Honest Co. Aromatic Soy Candles ($20) are so environmentally friendly we wouldn't be surprised if the flame burned the color green. (It doesn't btw.)
16 Nature Baby Organic Nursing Pillow
The organic cotton/linen blend that surrounds the Nature Baby Organic Nursing Pillow ($120) keeps mother and baby extra cozy during feeding time.

22 Chevy Malibu Hybrid
Unless you are Oprah, we understand you're probably not giving a car away as a gift. Instead, consider this one for yourself. The Chevy Malibu Hybrid ($21,680) is the ultimate car for a mom looking to lower her carbon footprint. It can operate all electric up to 55 mph and has a combined EPA fuel economy of 47 mpg. Plus, when you are nice enough to let your teen driver borrow the car, you can follow their driving statistics. That's a gift that keeps on giving.
