Here are a few unique gift ideas for Mother’s Day from Oxfam America Unwrapped.

Sweeten Mom’s day with a symbolic gift of Fair Trade honey. You’ll assist small-scale farmers striving to make a decent living producing honey, coffee, grains, and cheese.

Support HIV-affected women in Africa who make handcrafted jewelry, handbags, and other accessories from beads to support their families.

Honor Mom with a donation to support indigenous women who produce craftwork to earn their living.
