Give a Mother’s Day gift that gives back

April 28, 2011 |  by

Still need gift ideas for this Mother’s Day? Consider a gift that gives back. You’ll make your mom proud.

For the mom with high style
UNICEF
has partnered with Gucci for a campaign supporting UNICEF programs in sub-Saharan Africa.  The special edition “Gucci for UNICEF” Sukey bag in grey “La Pelle Guccissima” leather is being sold in Gucci stores and at gucci.com now until April 30.

Gucci will donate 25% of the retail price from all sales of the bag to support UNICEF’s “Schools for Africa” programs in Malawi and Mozambique, where nearly one million children have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS.

For the easy-going mom
For every pair of Toms shoes purchased, a pair will be sent to a child in need. From classics to wedges, these are actually on my Mother’s Day wish list… And if you order online now, there’s still time to get them here by Mother’s Day. Nordstrom and select shoe retailers have Toms available as well.

What are you getting your mom for Mother’s Day? What is on your wish list?
