Mother’s Day Giving

By Eliza Fogel

Mother’s day is just around the corner…. You know what that means, it’s time to buy a gift! For some charitable moms, there is no better gift than the gift of giving back. Here are some gifts that your mom will be sure to love! All moms love flowers, a mother’s day classic, but if you purchase your flowers from Farmgirl Flowers, they will be sure to give a $10 donation to Every Mother Counts, a nonprofit that works to make childbirth safe for mothers across the globe. Another great mother’s day gift is the newborn baby kits which are filled with early childhood necessities like clothing and diapers that are used in medical clinics. This encourages moms to care for themselves and their children. These kits which can be purchased in your mom’s name are donated to the international rescue committee to provide safe and healthy pregnancies and early childhoods. If your mom likes accessories, Dona Bela shreds is a unique place to buy her a meaningful gift. The Dona Bela pieces are hybrids of scarves and necklaces which are found in bright patterns made from textiles that would otherwise be sent to landfills. Lastly, a simple backpack is always a great option. The Feminist backpack sold at 7am Enfant takes your classic backpack one step further and includes practical features like a water resistant puff material and separate pocket space. 7am Enfant also donates 10% of the product sales to women’s initiatives worldwide. Another great accessory is are Toms sunglasses, not only are they super cute and reasonably priced, but Toms Eyewear provides a person in need with a full eye exam and helps to fund eye treatments like sight saving surgery and prescription evaluations and glasses. For moms who love sweets, the Sunshine and Rose chocolate box gives 100% of their proceeds to Every Mother Counts.
