This Mother’s Day, why not treat your mom to something lovely while at the same time helping a charity that you appreciate? This is the idea behind these five thoughtful gifts that serve a dual purpose. Go ahead and splurge – mom deserves it and so does the charity.
1. Alex and Ani bracelets: Twenty percent of the proceeds from some of their specific bracelets will go to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital, March of Dimes and Women & Infants Hospital.
2. Go to Honoryourmom.io and you can upload a picture of you and your mom. Then make a donation to Samahope, which is a nonprofit that funds doctors who care for women living in poverty, and you’ll get a personalized web page for your mom.
3. Davidstea.com has a beautiful tea collection that helps with the development in farming communities. The collection includes divine tea choices such as Buttered Rum, Cinnamon Rooibos Chai, Green & Fruity, Green Rooibos, Guayusa, Rooibos, and Blood Orange Pu’erh teas.
4. For the mom who loves wine, purchase a 2011 California Pinot Noir from One Hope and ensure that half of the profits from the bottle will go to the ASPCA to help fund pet adoption around the country. Check it out at www.onehopewine.com
5. By a bracelet for mom that says “woman” in braille and enjoy the 25% proceeds that will be donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Find this offer at www.everythingbutwater.com
