What's the most important day of the year?

I'll give you a hint - it's THIS Sunday, and it involves the person who probably buys your undies. That's right, Mother's Day is almost here!

I'm going to assume that you spoil your mum every day of the year, but this weekend if you want to really spoil her then consider getting her a gift that will help mums in the animal world too. The money you spend on these gifts is used to help mother cows, hens and pigs, who all too often have their babies taken away and never get the chance to display their natural mothering instincts.

Pure Gaisha Lip Balm $10

Pure Gaisha Solid Perfume $19

Bunny Symbolic Adoption $27

French Pear Soy Candle $44

If money is a bit tight at the moment, then never fear -- maybe you could make mum a cruelty-free breaky. Here's some suggestions in order of difficulty.

• Banana smoothie (you could make one with your eyes closed)
• Vegan pancakes (easy-peasy)
• White chocolate bites (you'll nail it)
• There's a stack of other recipes you might like here, too.

So there you have it. Mother's Day sorted! All you need to do now is make mum a card, wake up in time to make breakfast (11 am isn't going to cut it!) and remember to clean the dishes ... and the free undies will continue to roll in for another year.
