While you are on your search for the perfect gift make sure you look for items and shopping companies that also support a worthy cause. That will be double brownie points for you!
You can try out these two shopping sites that are fully involved in worthy causes
www.kalahari.com.ng ----- A company run by MultiChoice, they are involved in Educational Aid in Africa, so shopping here will be an excellent choice this mothers day.
www.yesidefashionstore.com ----- Yeside Asekun is the CEO of Yeside Fashion Store, she has actively been involved in fighting cervical cancer in Nigeria. They also have an offer of free delivery anywhere in Nigeria if you purchase items worth more than N15,000 (fifteen thousand naira)

I've read in those How To Find Your Inner Frenchie self-help books that French girls are not so chummy with each other...Hmmm
That they're more competitive than bosom buddies. I decided to check this out last trip...
From everything I can see they're just like us when it comes to best girl friends...
In fact when French Girl talks about her girl friends, it's like something sacred, a religion. Even though we've known each other 3-4 years and I've stayed with her and brought her NY bagels and Essie nailpolish (it's cheaper here), we are not exactly 'girl friends' the way she is with her French girl friends.
I will always be an extra-terrestial/E.T.
c'est la vie
French girl friends go shopping together just like we do.
They dress in identical outfits and have the same hairdos just like us.
They yackity-yack on the Metro while eating just like we do.
They goof around after they've 'won' free macarons at Pierre Herme on Jour Du Macarons.
They browse together and call it 'licking the windows'/leche-vitrine.
They do more kiss-kiss/bisous bisous then we do.

Sharing macarons is a universal among girl friends.
Sharing macarons is a universal among girl friends. I like this little video of two French girl friends chatting away. I'm not sure of every word and the subtitles are in Spanish Portuguese Catalon! but the actions are the same the world over are they not?
BONJOUR FRENCH AMIES!
