More Gifts for Mom That Do Good

Every day since my last post I have discovered new businesses that sell great products and donate their profits to philanthropy or support a cause. My husband says that I have found the perfect career, blending shopping, entrepreneurism and philanthropy. I couldn't believe that I couldn't find a source for flowers that donated to charity, but I finally did. Please pass on any other ideas!

Here a few things that I came across on a great blog by Olivia Kuhn-Lloyd: http://www.causecapitalism.com/
Thank you Olivia!
