Thank your Mum for the everyday things with P&G - Mother's Day giveaway



P&G believe it's the little, everyday things that mums do for their children which makes them special.  Small gestures or activities which enrich their lives, from teaching them to tie their laces, to getting them ready to go to big school.  From washing their hair, to cleaning favourite teddies.


They believe that the “ordinary” things mums do every day have an amazing impact for the whole family, which is why their mission is to make products that help towards making everyday life that little bit better. They are calling this the 'Everyday Effect'.

So, to wish you a happy Mother’s Day we're giving you the chance to win a hamper full of P&G goodies so that you can enjoy a bit of the Everyday Effect too!

Take a look at the video above, and them I'd like you to tell me in the comments below, what one little thing you remember your mum (or guardian) doing for you.  What would you like to thank them for?

For an additional entry you can tweet "I'm entering to win an #everydayeffect hamper of treats with @missielizzieb and  @PGUK here: http://bit.ly/WwiY2w"  Leave a comment to say you have done so.

  23. "M" is for the million things she gave me,
    "O" means only that she's growing old,
    "T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
    "H" is for her heart of purest gold;
    "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
    "R" means right, and right she'll always be,
    Put them all together, they spell
    "MOTHER,"
    A word that means the world to me.

  72. I'd like to thank my mum for showing me how to be confident when the bullies were trying to make my life a living hell, I remember being so badly beaten up by a gang of teenagers when I was just 11 years old that I ended up in hospital for 2 weeks & then I had to go to secondly school with them. Inbeweetn the summer holidays by mum taught me to stand up for myself with words not voilence & how if I acted confident they would feel it wasnt worth their time to bully me. That was the best talent my mother ever taught me & one that Ive used throughout my life & gained great achivements by being confident.

  82. My sister and I are so incredibly lucky to have a Mum like ours in our lives! From day one we have known with utter confidence that we are the centre of her universe. When we were kids she was at every play, every sports day and now she’s doing the same as a Nana. I remember coming home from school and if it had been raining our PJs were always on the radiator and she had us changing into them while she made a hot chocolate. Every meal was home cooked, with pudding! I don’t want to make this a sob story but she has been through the toughest of times in the last couple of years. However, I honestly believe her love and devotion to us as a mother gave her less time to dwell on what was happening to her. It also gave us the opportunity to give back what she has given to us. If every child in the world had a Mum like ours, everyone would grow up to be confident and to know that they had someone to run to, no matter how silly the mistakes they may make in their own lives.

    My mum was with me every step of the way when I was expecting my daughter. She was there at the birth and got the bus from miles away to stay with me all day, every day when I was in for the 10 days after. Once I was finally allowed a bath, she first scrubbed it clean in the hospital and even brought salt with her to put in it! Those 10 days with just us three girls were magical and inspired me to try and be even as little bit as good of a Mum as she is.

  83. My mum adopted me and inspired me to do the same. I foster children and have her continued support with a rather large 'extended' family. On behalf of myself and all those that have come into our care - Thank You
