Show Your Mum You Care This Mother's Day in America Whilst Helping the Environment, and Your Pocket!

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors Note: There are two photos that are associated with this press
release.

Our Mums are one of the most important people in our lives, from the
second we are born, that unconditional bond between Mother and child is
unique and special.

Mother's Day is your chance to show your Mum how much you appreciate her
and all the things she has done for you over the years. Mothering Sunday
in the United Kingdom and America falls in different months, but one
thing that we can be sure about is the fact that many Mums throughout
both countries are being treated to breakfast in bed, a heartfelt card,
and a lovely bouquet of her favorite flowers. This is the time to go that
extra mile and show your Mum how much you care, after all, it's the
little things that she will remember for the rest of her life.

Mothering Sunday in the UK has come and gone, but for our friends across
the pond, Mothering Sunday falls on May 10th, so there is plenty of time
to start planning for the occasion - no excuses! What do you normally do
on Mother's Day? Maybe it's time to embrace the age of technology and
send your Mum an electronic greeting card this Mother's Day.

E-Cards are definitely becoming more and more popular with many people
opting for the quicker, cheaper, and eco friendly alternative to paper
greetings. If you have never sent an e-card before then Mother's Day is
the perfect chance to give them a go because eCards.co.uk has a wide
selection of wonderful cards to choose from. You are sure to find a card
that your Mum will enjoy.

This free ecard site offers a fun and funky application called 'Face It'
where you have the chance to upload a photograph of your Mum and
incorporate it into the card design. A great idea as this means you are
able to add that extra special touch to your greeting. This particular
'Face It' card stars your Mum in the World Mum Olympics we see her making
a pancake breakfast, completing the housework chores, and the mountain of
ironing - all in record time! The text accompanying the closing sequence
of the card is short and sweet "To The World's Greatest Mum...Thanks!"
Imagine the surprise on your Mum's face when she sees herself starring in
her own card!

Another card to try is the 'fan-tastic' Your Biggest Fan greeting. This
card has a short sequence, and shows a group of office style fans on a
table, with the biggest, and happiest fan in the middle. The accompanying
text "Mum, I'm your biggest fan" displays at the bottom of the card.

A cute and caring Mother's Day e-Card to try out is Mum's Jumper, this
greetings card shows a lamb having given up his wooly fleece to knit his
Mum a jumper as a Mother's Day gift. This card is a great choice to show
your Mum that you will go that extra mile for her and make her feel
appreciated and special this Mothering Sunday.

E-Card greetings are fast becoming a firm favorite for many people as a
green alternative to paper greetings cards. Since electronic cards are
sent via cyber space, no paper is required, just think of the trees you
are saving by opting to send an e-Card. With recycling containers from
everyday household products, composting left- over food, and perhaps
switching to energy efficient light bulbs, in general we are becoming
increasingly aware of the danger man has put the planet in over the
years, and these small actions all help to lower our carbon footprint.
Why not go that extra step further and send e-Cards to all your friends
and loved ones on special occasions, you will be helping the environment
by doing so. Just always remember to switch your computer off afterwards,
rather than leaving it on standby!

Something that is constantly cropping up everywhere we look is the
dreaded phrase 'credit crunch'. With people being careful with their
spending, it makes sense to try and save the pennies where possible, and
opting for a free service to send your greetings card like eCards.co.uk
is a great place to start. You can have fun along the way with the 'Face
It' application too, a sure fire way to provide some giggles both for
recipient and sender.

If you are an American Mum I hope you have a fun filled exciting
Mothering Sunday this year, sit back, relax, and take some 'me time'.
Enjoy!
