Remind Mum she’s still a girl at heart

Under her sensible, responsible exterior, we all know that Mum is really just a girl at heart who loves to be pampered and take care of herself.This Mother’s Day you can celebrate mum’s love of personal attention by purchasing a girl’s dignity pack on her behalf from ChildFund’s Gifts That Grow catalogue.  Containing personal essentials such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, shampoo and sanitary supplies, this inexpensive gift ($19) will spread motherly love and brighten the life of a girl in an impoverished community.

ChildFund New Zealand National Director Paul Brown says, “Mums and daughters have a special bond, and the dignity pack gift helps a young girl hold her head up high.”

But if ‘smellies’ aren’t your mum’s thing - then Gifts That Grow offers a great range of alternative gift ideas that enable you to pay your mum’s love forward and demonstrate to her your understanding of the need to help others:

• if your mum’s a stickler for homework, you could gift a school kit of books and work materials ($78)
• if she’s a whizz in the kitchen, why not orchard supplies to provide another mother with fresh ingredients? ($50)
• and what mum wouldn’t appreciate the gift of protein enriched food for malnourished children ($14) or a course of life-saving immunisations against the top six child killing diseases? ($75)

Paul Brown says, “At ChildFund we’re encouraging everyone to celebrate Mother’s Day this year with a Gift That Grows, spreading Mum’s loving care to children in need.”
