Love for mum!

It is probably unnecessary to explain the concept of Mother’s Day (since almost every culture and nation on earth now celebrates this day), but for readers who are unaware, Mother’s Day is a celebration honouring mothers and the crucial role that they play in our lives. Funnily enough, Mother’s day is unrelated to the older traditions that celebrate mothers and motherhood (such as the Christian Mothering Sunday).

Its founder was an American woman named Anna Jarvis who first celebrated this day in 1908 as a memorial service for her mother. Mother’s day became more ingrained within American society when she campaigned to make it a recognised holiday in the United States. By the 1920s, Mother’s Day was already becoming increasing popular, eventually becoming a legitimate day of honouring mothers all over the world.

A great Mother's Day Gift Option from New Zealand!

To assist you in selecting a unique gift for Mother’s Day, Shop New Zealand is currently running a special on the Rejuvenating Bee Venom Face Mask by Manuka Doctor. Purchasing this product will entitle the buyer to a free Manuka Doctor Intro Kit worth $NZD 49.90. Bee venom is the apitoxin released by honey bees when they sting a subject. Used in the Manuka Doctor Face Mask it tricks the body into thinking that it has been stung by a bee. This causes the body to direct blood flow to the area that assists in boosting collagen and elastin production to firm and improve the appearance of skin. It has been hailed as a natural alternative to botox and is widely used by many celebrities. The toxin from the honeybees is extracted using a glass pane that is electrified to encourage bees to sting it. Because honeybees do not detach their stingers when stinging, the honeybee is left unharmed and the toxin gathered.

If this special package doesn’t tickle your fancy, consider these:
