Mother's Day gift idea
Looking for something for Momma? Running out of time (less than 2 weeks)? Does she like animals? Do you? How about a gift donation to the World Wildlife Fund?
That's what I did.
My mom has the stuff she needs. She takes care of her own hobbies. She buys what she wants. I could have sent some flowers or jelly beans again (she likes jelly beans) but jelly beans aren't very good for you and flowers die. I wanted to give something that was about life. And she loves animals. So I made a gift donation to the WWF, theoretically "adopting" an animal species in her name.
She'll get a plushie of the animal (I picked Snow Leopard, there's dozens more), a certificate and info sheet on the animal with a photo, and a gift bag for Mother's Day. Along with an online package of wallpapers and newsletters and such. I think she'll like it.
Maybe even more than jelly beans.
If you think this is something your mom would like, and you do it by 10pm EST Thursday, she'll get her gift in time for Mother's Day. Click here to pick your gift.

Thanks for sharing this. :)
That's a great gift idea. I knew organizations for "adopting" a star (or something like that) and other types of naming gifts, but I had no idea this one existed. Your mom is going to love that!
Let's see... I already give my mom plushies on random days, and an old teacher of mine gave her a gift where a church prays for her all the time... I think this would be a fun combination of the two. I'll talk it over with my sisters and see if they had anything planned, too. Thanks for the suggestion, Jay. ^^
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cute Animal plush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*glomps snowleopard plush & octopus plush & & &*
er. *looks shifty* neat. I will pass it around. However its way out of date for Mothers Day as, in the UK, it was 18th March.
Sigh. 40 years old and I probably have more plush toys than most small children I know (probably because I don't chew on them.... much).
I send my Mom a gift from Heifer International. Because of my work in Africa, she finds it meaningful. of course, somehow flowers always show up as well, I mean, who doesn't like a bouquet of flowers?
In addition, if you can, take your mom out for a trip if you can....My new friend is taking Mom to Graceland this year. SHe's so excited to spend the time with her son....
Ahhh, Heifer International, Kb, that's the one I always request that my kids donate to! :)
Okay, this might be very petty, but I was looking at the available adoptions and thought "Cool! A greenwing macaw!" My mom has a real live one, so I was thinking this would be perfect. When I clicked on it, however, the species adoption certificate says scarlet macaw. They're two different species.
Greenwings (Ara Choloptera) here and Scarlets (Ara Macao) here.
Am I the only one who thinks the WWF should know this?
Colour me disappointed.
