Mother’s Day Gifts For a Cause
A great way to celebrate Mother’s Day is giving gifts with a cause. When looking for gifts, the Internet is a useful tool since there are plenty of charity and non-profit organizations that provide gift items online. These organizations do valuable work both globally and locally, such as breast cancer research and education. Here are some good gift tips for mothers who want to make a difference:
Choosing an Organization
One good option for buying presents for Mother’s Day would be to buy them from organizations that cater to special kids. Look for gift items sold through the Autism Online Store or the National Down Syndrome Shop. Both these online stores offer an assortment of gift items that are perfect for Mother’s Day.
Making a Donation
Aside from the usual flowers, poems and cards a donation can be done under the mother’s name. A copy of the donation certificate can be put inside a personalized greeting card.
Beauty Products For a Cause
There are several beauty, skin and haircare product companies that sell make-up items for a good cause. For example for a lip balm-addicted mother, there are lip products that are sold for the benefit of Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit group that aims to increase awareness about global warming.
Mother’s Day Events for a Cause
Local bulletins for community events during Mother’s Day might be worth checking for. The events can for example aim to make a difference for disadvantaged groups or for those afflicted with serious diseases such as cancer. Events usually contain some program and activities, like music, offering a great way for a family to spend some time together. Check out the websites of national breast cancer groups for any activities during Mother’s Day.
Besides showing appreciation for mothers, the compassionate gesture of helping the ones in need is a great way to reflect the spirit of motherhood and Mother’s Day; loving and caring about each other.
