When it comes to Mother's Day gifts, who better to ask than actual Moms on the thankless battlefront that is parenting? (Don't worry, Dads, you'll get your due soon.) We asked a dozen eco-chic mothers—and a couple of moms-to-be—what they'd like to see sitting next to their fresh coffee and breakfast in bed. Above, a customizable family necklace ($71-$80), handmade from recycled silver by Figs & Ginger.

Great post, one point that really needs to get some attention is just how ‘ungreen’ the global cut flower market has become. Most of the roses and other cut flowers sold in America come from Colombia and Ecuador where pesticides that the US has banned are still used. Workers and local residents and the environment all pay the price for our cheap flowers.
