World Vision New Zealand offers an ethical gift catalogue for Mother’s Day. This initiative provides a meaningful alternative to traditional gifts while supporting families in need around the globe.
The catalogue features gifts that help deliver support to mothers and children facing hunger and poverty. Prices start from $10, which can provide lifesaving immunisations for a child. Popular options include:
- Fast-growing seeds
- Nutrition programmes
- Cooking classes
- Emergency food
- Support for women to start a business
TJ Grant from World Vision stated, “Choosing an ethical gift is a powerful way to celebrate that love while extending it to another family who may be facing incredibly difficult circumstances.” This sentiment resonates deeply as families seek ways to honor their mothers.
In addition to World Vision’s efforts, Eastgate Shopping Centre promotes Mother’s Day shopping with over 40 stores and services. They offer a complete Mother’s Day menu featuring drinks, entrees, mains, sides, and desserts designed to allow more time for enjoyment with loved ones.
The centre also hosts competitions with prizes of $200 for Hair Beauty and $200 for Unichem. A total cash prize of $500 is available for the Mother’s Day celebration.
As communities prepare for this occasion, the focus remains on recognizing the love and sacrifice of mothers. The combination of ethical gifting and local celebrations highlights the importance of supporting those in need while honoring maternal figures.
