Mom always picked you up when you fell down, held you close when you were sad, and celebrated with you when you were joyful. As you grew up, she continued to be there whenever you needed her—good or bad. She’s your mother, and she means the absolute world to you.
Happy almost Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday, May 13th. This special day is dedicated to all of the incredible mothers—and those who have embraced the role of mother—who love their children well and care for them every single day. Mother’s Day is all about thanking that special person in your life for taking care of you as you grew into who you are today.
Celebrate with your Mom by sharing your altruistic lifestyle. On Mother’s Day give a gift that also gives back to others.
Here are 3 ways to give back on Mother’s Day :)
1. Buy flowers from a local florist.
Flowers are always the perfect Mother’s Day gift because they brighten her day and reflect the joy she brings to your own life. If you want to buy flowers for your mom this Mother’s Day, be sure to shop from a local flower shop or stand. You can feel confident that your gift is going to help others in your community. Put food on the table for a family, and show your support for small businesses.
2. Give a fair trade gift.
Check out local fair trade shops or search online for fair trade retailers. Fairtrade products employ men and women in developing countries or in poverty in the U.S. This ensures they are paid a living wage for their efforts. You can help a woman halfway around the world, to be able to send her children to school because of the opportunity you provide.
3. Donate in honor of your Mom.
Live and share your altruistic lifestyle by supporting organizations that give back. Search for small businesses or nonprofits that have a hand in helping others. Donations in honor of your mom ensure that others can live more fulfilling and joyful lives. What better gift can you give the mother in your life than honoring her through providing to others?
Mother’s Day is only a few short days away, so start your gift shopping early with an altruistic lifestyle. Try out some of these gift ideas this week in order to surprise the mothers in your life with a gift that gives back.
