If you are looking for gift ideas for mother's day this year, here are a few things that you might consider.
Cardly
Send a thoughtful card ($6.95)
If you're unable to see your mum this Mother’s Day, show that you are thinking of them with a card from Cardly’s gorgeous range. Simply choose your design, select your handwriting style, type your message and Cardly will change your text to make it look like real handwriting! They then print, hand stamp and post to your loved one. Also, a portion of each sale goes straight to the independent artist that designed the card. Better yet, Cardly plants 5 trees for every 100 cards sent.

Global Sisters Marketplace
Purchase a gift for mum through the Global Sisters Marketplace and whilst doing so support women who are unemployed or underemployed start their own business. Every purchase from the Global Sisters Marketplace goes back to women in need.
One of these women is Lila Bate, who found herself in no man's land, in her 50s and unable to find a path back into the workforce. Lila hadn't worked for 12 years and her knowledge and skills were outdated. But besides her difficulties, thanks to Global Sisters, Lila was able to start her own business, bVitra! Lila now makes and sells 100% natural products as an alternative to conventional products. This bVitra gift pack ($80) including a Body Soak for aches and pains, 2 Foot Soaks, 2 Bath Balls and Lemongrass Soap is the perfect pampering gift for mum this Mother's Day.
Head to the Global Sisters Marketplace for more gorgeous Mother's Day gifts like this Memory Box Fruit Bowl ($150) or these CocoKanela handmade earrings ($35).
