Ditch the flowers and chocolates this Mothers Day and show your mum how much you care by giving her one of our thoughtful and life-changing ‘gifts full of feeling’ through the Brooke shop. Your gift will really make a difference to hard-working horses and donkeys and their owners in some of the poorest parts of the world.

The Brooke – the UK’s leading charity for working horses and donkeys overseas – has developed a special range of thoughtful and affordable Mother’s Day gifts so you can show your mum how much you care.

Why not swap a gift of a handbag for a harness with our gift of Comfort? For £15.32 you can buy a new and well-fitted harness for a horse or donkey, helping them to pull heavy loads without ropes cutting into them or rubbing their skin.

Or choose a £15.50 Kindness package and provide pain relief and protection from disease for a hardworking animal. The Brooke will even show the owner how to use this small but important kit.

Otis Redding was spot on when he sang ‘You’ve got to try a little tenderness’ and now you can try some too by purchasing a gift of Tenderness for £20.70. This will provide special care of an old or sick horse or donkey. After being treated to a week of fresh, nutritious food, health checks and joint care, they'll come away feeling like a new animal. This gift also helps owners understand that older animals need a little extra attention.

Selecting a Gift full of feeling is easy: simply visit `The Brooke Shop’ at thebrookeshop.org or call 0845 367 0555 and choose from the catalogue. Every gift comes with the choice of a fantastic gift pack or gift email for the recipient. You can see your gift come to life by watching a video showing exactly how your present will make a difference. And to show their appreciation for your support, Brooke are also sending out an extra special gift especially for you – ‘Brooke magnetic poetry’ for a fridge full of feeling.

The last order for postal delivery is 8th March, 2010 but you can order online at any time as gift packs are available to download and send from the website.
