A Green Mother’s Day

May 6, 2010 at 10:14 am , by rachel

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and children are buying their mothers cards like crazy at The Desk Set!

Here is another card we like:

TreeNex Plants a Tree for Mom

This card retails for $6.00 and with each card bought, the company plants a tree! You can watch your tree grow by entering the code found on the back of the card!

These cards are great! Printed on recycled paper and for each card bought a tree is planted in Lithuania!

Almost 9000 trees have been planted with the purchase of these cards!

Have a Green Mother’s Day!
