Mother’s Day Gift: Eco-Friendly RobeApril 18, 2008Posted by: Julie K.
Not only is this robe luxuriously soft and silky, it's super eco-friendly, made of a blend of organic cotton and bamboo yarns and made in a factory that uses wind-power. It's a great Mother's Day gift for moms that strive to be green and like to be pampered. Want to win? Post a comment below and tell us why you like green gifts by 11:59 p.m. EST Thursday, April 24.

I love green gifts because they are both thoughtful and unique.

Well, green is my favorite color. But seriously, all the little things we can do to help the environment do add up, and I like knowing that I’m doing my part to help out. I enjoy both giving and receiving eco-friendly products.

I like green gifts because every small effort in saving the environment is worth it ~ plus most of the organic fabrics are so soft.

Green gifts are great because they feel indulgent but also oddly practical…

When you give a green gift you are not only giving a great gift, but your giving a gift to yourself too in the fact that your not doing more damage to the enviorment… (or the world our kids will live in!)
I blogged your contest at Prize-A-Tron!

i would love this. i need one. i like green gifts because they are good to the enviroment. we need to use as much green products, so our world will still be in good shape or even around for our children.
i hope that makes sense

I love green gifts because if everyone does “small”things it can really add up.
Posted by danimcg | April 18, 2008 @ 11:52 pm
Happy Friday! I like green gifts because hopefully how and what they are made of is making a positive effect on our environment. For the most part, I also think “green” gifts are made better and I love the feel of cotton and bamboo. Please enter me in your eco-friendly contest drawing. Thanks,Cindi

Well, I agree, all the small things we do to help the environment will ultimately help us. It’s not extra work to be more green and to look after the environment a bit more. Thanks for the giveaway!

love to live green..from totes to organic products small to big… Try to buy products that are eco-friendly.

I love green gifts because we are really making a conscious effort in our household to become more “green” through recycling, CFL bulbs, etc and adding “green” gift giving would be a great way to introduce our not so green friends to living in a more environmentally friendly way!

Every litte bit we do to help the enviroment is of value. I love to give and receive green gifts. This robe looks like it would be wonderful to wear. Thanks.

There have been so many changes to the environment since I was a child. I like green gifts because in choosing them over something else, we are helping the environment so that children in generations to come will have something to enjoy.
Posted by goalmom | April 19, 2008 @ 3:03 pm
I love green gifts because they show the giftee and earth that you care
Posted by nor_lou | April 19, 2008 @ 5:30 pm
I try to give “green” gifts whenever possible and for many reasons:
1) It is a way I can lead by example without preaching
2) Many green gifts I purchase are produced locally in my town and I like to support local artists and our local economy
3) It’s the best way to place my “vote” for more green products from manufacturers
4) It makes me feel good
5) I like that the products are all natural, sustainable, and won’t do further harm to the earthPosted by goldenrae | April 19, 2008 @ 7:05 pm
Wow, I would sure love to give this robe to my Mother on Mother’s Day if I won it! I like green gifts because I’m a fan of organic and bamboo. What could be better than green gifts?

I’d love to win this for my 75-year-old Mom — as a way to introduce her to how wonderful green products can be. I know she already cares about helping to create a greener world because she recyles, but the idea of “buying green” has probably not even occurred to her. It would be really cool if I as her daughter could be the one leading by example, by sharing this gift with her. And at 75, she surely would find a comfy new robe to be a blessing.
Posted by neteffectr | April 20, 2008 @ 3:26 am
Its a win-win.
Great for the person receiving the gift and great for mother earth.Posted by dolls123 | April 20, 2008 @ 3:51 pm
Well, it always makes Al Gore happy when a person buys “green” and Leonardo DiCaprio as well! They are always promoting environmental causes……
Posted by Karina | April 20, 2008 @ 7:51 pm
This is a fantastic gift for my mom this mother’s day. It’s so important that everyone help out with the environment in any way they can.
Posted by monika | April 20, 2008 @ 11:55 pm
Being the mom of 2 small children I want to leave this planet in good if not better shape for my kids therefore I think being green is a way to contribute. It also doesn’t hurt to win things either!
Posted by swhalen | April 21, 2008 @ 10:04 am
I would love to give this robe to my sister-in-law for Mom’s Day, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. The greener we get, the better our health will be.
Posted by GirlWoman | April 21, 2008 @ 3:09 pm
I was drawn to the idea of giving my mother a eco-friendly gift. I am trying to live a green life while educating my children on doing the same. What better way to teach them ,than having them give a green gift and educate others!
Posted by Elphaba | April 21, 2008 @ 3:56 pm
Gifts can be so wasteful in so many senses - wrapping, packaging, people don’t like it - that a green gift can help. And I like encouraging friends and family to think green.

I love green gifts because they are both thoughtful and unique.
Posted by Timster | April 22, 2008 @ 8:44 am
I love green gifts because they are thoughtful to the receiver and the environment! You aren’t harming the earth or sending the receiver harmful chemicals!
Posted by lucy8180 | April 22, 2008 @ 5:39 pm
Ok, get this… you can buy this beautiful environmentally friendly robe AND have a percent of your purchase go to a nonprofit group you support, sound unbelievable? It’s not! Go to www.nonprofitshoppingmall.com, choose a nonprofit group like Sierra Club to give to and pick Viva Terra as your store to shop at and vwalla… you have hit 3 birds with one stone. You shopped, you supported GREEN products/companies and you gave money to that group you always want to give to, but never have enough to spend on a donation. That is smart shopping! Enjoy…
Posted by mm | April 22, 2008 @ 7:24 pm
I like green giftsbecause it shows that you are really protecting the environment when you’re not afraid to show others that you’ve gone green.
Posted by hi | April 22, 2008 @ 7:31 pm
I love green gifts because it’s a display of unselfishness in very selfish times.
Posted by blueviolet | April 22, 2008 @ 9:05 pm
I have a wonderful bamboo fabric towel that I love. How exciting that it is renewable fabric. I would be so excited to win this lovely robe.

Green is such a relaxing color.

Anything that is good for the environment is A+ in my book.

I think it’s important to go green in every way we can…this robe is fabulous and a great example of how to be green!
Posted by mtejen | April 23, 2008 @ 10:08 am
I love this robe.
Posted by patschraier | April 23, 2008 @ 10:55 am
I like green gifts and green living because it really boils down to my favorite quote that I constantly remind myself of. “We do not inherit the world from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.” – Native American Proverb (tribe unknown).
Posted by sedingergomez | April 23, 2008 @ 12:43 pm
I like green products because I enjoy the use of them and feel virtuous because they help the environment in some way.
Posted by pintolinda | April 23, 2008 @ 12:50 pm
We all need to do all we can to help the environment !
Posted by Barbara | April 23, 2008 @ 1:27 pm
I cherish life and the earth we live on. Giving “Green” is my way of saying I respect the person I am giving to as well as all life and future life on earth.
Posted by smaler | April 23, 2008 @ 1:33 pm
I am glad that some people are trying to salvage some of the damage we have done to our beautiful Earth! Going Green is a good place to start.

I like green and organic gifts. I am sensitive to additives, preservatives and it is wonderful to have products that are good for me and good for the environment.

To be honest I am new to all this going Green, and I am now trying to change many things in my life to Green so if I can get a green rob that I could not afford rather then buying a non-Green I would be very Happy
