Mother's Day: share the love this year by giving back

Honor your mother by helping less fortunate ones

Mother's Day is arriving on Sunday, May 8, providing you with the perfect opportunity to honor that special mom in your life. To give you a head start, here are some top gifts ideas that not only send your love and thanks but also give back (something which mom would surely be proud of!):

Don’t be dissuaded from offering mom a lavish, luxurious spa treatment, a gift certificate and the same goes for heading to a restaurant for brunch or dinner. With careful planning, it's possible to bring those costs down by 50%. Deals On is a group buying platform that offers up savings of 50%  - 90% on all of the above and more and for the month of May in honor of our mom’s and the mother of your children, Deals On will donate half of all earnings to a local charity – The SunFlower Fund.  The Sunflower Fund is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation based in Cape Town, South Africa, with a vision to give all South Africans diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening blood disorders the chance of life, irrespective of their race and financial circumstances. For more information visit http://www.sunflowerfund.org.za

Deals On help local consumers get the best deals Cape Town has to offer. Each weekday Deals On offers one fantastic new half price or better deal with discounts of up to 90% at local bars, restaurants, spas, theaters, thrilling adventures and more. Each deal has a minimum number of sales that must be attained for the deal to be activated. Once the minimum number is surpassed, the deal activated or "On" and everyone who chooses to buy receives Today’s Deal so the best way to ensure you get your deal "On" is to let all your friends, family and colleagues know about it. You can easily spread the word by sharing the deal from our website through Facebook, Twitter and Email plus we will reward you with R30 each time you refer a friend. There's no limit on how much you can earn! Deals can be purchased at www.dealson.co.za

These meaningful gifts will touch mom's heart when she learns your tribute will help transform the lives of mothers and children in need across South Africa. You'll make Mother's Day unforgettable with a gift that keeps giving. So this year, consider honoring your mom by helping out someone else's.

And remember: However you choose to honor mom this Mother's Day - whether with a pampering day out, brunch / dinner, homemade card or breakfast in bed -- she will appreciate your efforts no matter what. Make this a day of fun for Mom. Don't forget to tell her you love her!
