Alternative gifts

What do you get for the person who has everything? A great alternative (or addition) to any gift is a charity donation. Sites such as Oxfam, Good Gifts and Save the Children enable you to buy items that will help people in less developed countries, such as baby kits, books, stationery and even goats! Oxfam is currently offering free earrings or chocolate when you purchase a mothers day-themed charity gift. You can usually also get a customisable e-card or gift card telling the recipient what you've bought on their behalf. 

So there you go! Lots of different options to suit any budget this Mothers' Day. Do you have any plans for Mothers' Day yet?
