It's fair to say that we all owe a lot to our Mums. They raised us, drove us to school, taught us right from wrong and explained very calmly why wearing a superhero costume and gumboots to the supermarket isn't the done thing.
When you take all of this into consideration, it's also fair to say that someone who's had such a remarkable influence on your life might deserve a little more than tea towels and terracotta trinkets when the second Sunday in May rolls around.

This Mothers Day, Karma Currency, Australia's first tax deductible Charity Gift Voucher - www.karmacurrency.com - is presenting all Australians with the opportunity to forgo the flowers, kick aside the clich�d chocolates and give your Mum a gift that proves you were listening when she taught you about the importance of giving.

Ashley Rosshandler, Founder and CEO of Karma Currency, spoke recently about how a charity gift voucher could be the perfect Mothers Day gift to give to the most charitable woman in your life. "Karma Currency has always been about giving people the ability to connect their loved ones with the charities and causes closest to their hearts. With Mothers Day fast approaching, it's the perfect time to give the gift of good Karma to your Mum, Sister, Grandma or Aunty," said Rosshandler.

Examples of just a few of the Karma-clad presents you can give via www.karmacurrency.com include:
-Delivering a teddy bear (Children's Hospital Foundation - $5)
-Producing a talking book (Vision Australia - $20)
-Buying baking trays for a soup kitchen (FareShare - $36)
-Sponsoring a nursing scholarship (Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant - $100)

Since its inception in 2007, over 200 of the world's most trusted and beloved charities (including Oxfam, RSPCA, Lifeline and The Cancer Council), have all become Karma Currency partners.
