Making Mothers Day Exciting for the Mothers in your Life

Here is a chance to sidestep the traditional Mothers Day gift ideas.  Perhaps you are looking for something more exciting for that special person, your mom.

Sure, flowers and chocolates, sweets and champagne are great; actually, when you look around and pay attention to all the ads that recommend Mothers Day gifts you can always find something to please your mother, or grandmother, or mother-in law or whoever had anything to do with mothering you. 

In spite of gifts, what mothers want most of all is your recognition and your genuine love and attention.  Don't forget that, because that should come first. Don't forget to tell your mother how much she means to you.


Having said that, we have found a unique Mothers Day gift for the mom-on-the-go that is as practical as it is unusual. It is "green" because it minimizes the electrical grid from frequently uploading devices, using the sun as an alternative power source.  The Ultimate Green Store is offering the Solio Classic Universal Hybrid Charger in Silver (click on picture for details). It stores power from the sun or outlet to charge Mom's cell phone, pda, ipod & more.  Imagine your mother's surprise when she realizes she will never again run out of  "juice" as she can now charge up anytime from anywhere. 

Honor your mother with your love and with a green gift that truly makes her happy.

Happy Mother's Day!

A Unique Mothers Day Gift?

What makes your mother smile?

Let’s face it: your mother will have a smile on her face whatever you choose to honor her with for Mothers' Day. You may follow tradition by sending her flowers (nice), chocolate (also nice), or take her out to a really nice restaurant (if your budget allows). She’ll be happy.

Actually, what mothers – or grandmothers -- really want (I should know: I am one) is her family’s attention and recognition of what she does.


Send a Bottle with a Special Bear Hug Today !We found something that really makes a Statement with a unique Mothers Day gift, This mother’s day message finds its way deep inside her heart. She’ll never forget this! It’s called “Timeless Message in a Bottle” and it’s something she can enjoy forever and show off to her friends.


Flowers last about a week, Chocolate self-destructs, a Timeless Message in a Bottle lasts as long as she does. Just take a look and see if it fits for your mother. Then, watch the expression on your mother’s face when she reads your message inside the bottle and realizes how you have put your efforts into telling her how much you love and appreciate her.



Create happy family memories with this unique Mothers Day Gift.

Happy Mother's Day!

Go Green with Earth Day Specials

Earth Day is just around the corner. In fact, tomorrow our town is putting on a huge Earth Day Event and I am taking my 4 grandchildren with me to experience the full measure of it. Now, all we need is a nice day for it. Rain can wait.


In honor of Earth Day several of the companies we work with are offering coupons for discounts and freebies that we want you to know about. This is a good time to become serious about that green lifestyle and low or no carbon footprint and stock up on things that you need. Tell your family and friends how easy it is to be green.



I myself just ordered a laundry dryer ball, actually two, because they are packaged two to a box. They are a great idea because they dry and soften your laundry in a toxin-free and environmentally safe way, save on energy and on chemical dryer sheets.



The coupons work like this: At the checkout counter you work your way through the normal routine process and at the end, where you put in your payment information, you put in the appropriate coupon code and click on the “apply” button (usually there is one) and that removes the cost of the item. The balance then should just show your shipping charge, but not the price of the item.



Switch over to our website right now; that's where you find the bargains.  Enjoy your shopping while you help save the Earth.

Bottled Water Costs Too Much

It costs too much in many ways. Ask yourself: Why am I buying bottled water? Is it because it’s “the cool” thing to do? Or, because you think it’s cleaner, as in less polluted, than your tap water? In many ways, bottled water is less regulated than tap water and thus the quality is at best unreliable. Obviously, safe drinking water is important to you.

The water piped into your house costs you almost nothing, whereas bottled water costs you anywhere from 30 cents to several dollars for a “to-go” 8-12 oz bottle. The environmental cost to manufacture the plastic bottles and later to dispose of them is almost astronomical. More and more as a society we become aware of how wasteful this process is and how heavily this adds to the carbon footprint we are supposed to lower.

There is a much simpler way to have safe drinking water. If you believe as we do, that tap water is utility, NOT drinking water, and you want to get the pollutants including the chlorine out before you drink or cook with tap water, the solution is very simple and costs considerably less than the questionable quality of bottled waters.

Our drinking water system purifies tap water right there on your sink deck! We fill up our stainless steel permanent bottles (17 oz capacity) before we leave the house for about 2cents a fill with sparkling clean, healthy water. Plastic is not an option anymore and neither is disposal, because our bottle becomes our constant companion.

The company we deal with offers a stainless steel drinking water system warranted for life, that guarantees safe, sparkling-clean drinking water with annual cartridge replacements. For a limited time the sale of a drinking water system comes with two H2O on the Go Stainless Steel Bottles or 1 Shower Filter

Cheers!
