17 sustainable, natural and thoughtful gifts for spring celebrations

It doesn’t quite compare to the winter holidays, but spring brings plenty of events and celebrations—Mother’s Day, graduations from high school or college, baby showers and wedding showers—that often inspire gift-giving.

But consumers who shop in natural and organic retail stores aren’t looking for the latest plastic junk or useless what-not. Consumers who value the attributes of natural and organic foods also want to be sure the gifts they give are thoughtful, useful, durable and sustainable—while looking nice, as well.

Stocking unusual and interesting gifts can make a retail business a destination and improve the bottom line. Here are 17 gifts— roughly organized by holiday or event, ranging from personal-care products to hand-crafted art pieces—your shoppers might find interesting.
