Here are some great Eco-friendly, handmade mother's day gifts. Let mom re-connect with nature to charge her apple devices. Handmade of cedar....looks, feels and smells amazing! Compatible with  iPhone and  ipod devices (except shuffle). The docking stations use a standard USB plug, so it can be used to charge and sync with a computer. If it is for an iPhone, it came with an adapter to plug into the wall for charging.

The extra day, February 29 is the leap day of the leap year and has been associated with age-old traditions, superstitions and folklore.
