Mother's Day

Show Your Mother Some Respect

Moms can be such pushovers.

Moms can be such pushovers. Sometimes all it takes are a few well-chosen words, like "I respect you," to make her day. So if you forgot to send a Mother's Day gift, don't despair: there's still time to send an ecard! Better yet, send one for a good cause.

The Respect Campaign, devoted to the prevention of family violence, has an easy-to-send ecard that gives you plenty of space to tell your mom — or anyone, for that matter — why you look up to her. So throw together a few elegant lines about what she taught you about respecting yourself and make your mom's day.

Website of the Day: Card Funk

You think your mom is Super Woman, so why not show her how you feel with an animated card this Mother's Day from Card Funk?

You think your mom is Super Woman, so why not show her how you feel with an animated card this Mother's Day from Card Funk? Upload a few of your best pics into the photo editor, including those of your mom, dad, and brother or sister, and watch her go! I love how TeamSugar member mharvent made Angelina Jolie into a Super Mom, with Brad, Pax, and Zahara as costars!

The only bummer is, if you're an only child, you're gonna have to pretend on this one — there doesn't seem to be a way to delete characters from the animation. But hey, I'm sure mom won't mind seeing your face on both kid's bodies — it's the thought that counts.

If you're thinking of sending your mom an ecard this Mother's Day, send one from Toast to Mom. This website is partnering with Clos du Bois — one of my favorite affordable wine makers — to raise money for women's heart disease.

For each sent ecard, Clos du Bois will donate $1 to the cause. The site also has tips for healthy living and some delicious-looking recipes for grilled shrimp with mango salsa and spicy oven fried chicken. I've already sent etoasts to the important mothers in my life and suggest you do the same!

How To: Create a Virtual Xmas Tree E-card

Here's an e-card that is not only fun to send, but fun to make as well!

Here's an e-card that is not only fun to send, but fun to make as well! Grow an Xmas Tree is an interactive site that helps you create your very own personalized Christmas-tree e-card.

It's really simple. . . . Just choose your background template and text color (give the rainbow a whirl for added effect) and start typing your message! The tree can only hold 240 characters, so don't go overboard. As you can see here I typed "Happy Holidays from geeksugar!" Once you are finished, send to your friends and family to enjoy.

It's fun, it's festive and best of all, it's free!
