Are you certainly stumped for Mother's Day? Maybe a bed and morning meal weekend isn't right for your Mom this year. This description contains a unique Mother's Day gift idea that may be the perfect choice for you.
Does your Mom volunteer for charity events? Does she well up with tears when she sees commercials for children's organizations or animal ownership associations?
Donate For Children
Consider donating in her name to a group like Save the Children, Child Find, or Peta. A one-time donation can be made online or over the phone.
If you leave it until the last minute, you can pick out a beautiful Mother's Day card and include a note to let her know about the donation. Make a few printouts from the association's website - possibly an 'about us' page and information about their programs (with photos, of course)
