  1. i see it as rather than spending money on a gift that the person may not end up wanting / needing, you can put the money towards a good cause (in their name / honour) instead.

    kind of like how when someone passes away and families ask that in lieu of flowers, donations are made to the hospital,etc. instead.

    i like the idea of donations. i've been to weddings where, rather than asking for gifts, people have asked for donations instead. i think it's a nice, selfless guesture.

  2. My sister just emailed me that she has given a donation to Foster Parent's as a Mother's Day gift.. I did a bit of reading from the email she fwded me and checked out the site and I think it's a great idea if you don't know what to get your mom for mother's day... a donation that will help others.. thought I would pass the idea along in case folks are stuck w/ ideas for gifts... or, if Foster Parent's isn't for you -- a donation to any cause really is a nice way of showing what a caring kid your mom has raised!!! :D

    Can we suggest an amazing, unique, life changing gift for a special mother in your life this year from Foster Parents Plan (Plan)? Maybe not directly life changing for your mother, but definitely life changing for the mother in a developing country who receives the benefit of your thoughtfulness.

    You can select a gift that provides training to a midwife or birth attendant to help save mothers’ lives and welcome hundreds of babies safely into the world.

    Or adult literacy training for two women, a gift that will increase their opportunities to earn an income, and give them a greater chance of raising literate children.

    Or maybe school books for a child to help shift their focus from the challenge of daily life to the promise of a more hopeful future.

    These and other Gifts of Hope make a lasting difference in the lives of children, their families and entire communities where Plan works.

    Give your mom, grandmother or other special women a gift they've never had before - and help change a life!

    Visit our online catalogue and discover the many gift opportunities to suit all your gift-giving needs. When you give a gift in honour of someone else, you can have an acknowledgement email sent to announce your gift or download a printable card.
