Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Mum

What we now celebrate as Mother’s Day, a time for buying gifts for mum and treating her for the day, has its origins in ancient times.  In Ancient Greece and Rome the Goddesses of Isis and Gaia were worshipped as the Mother of the Gods and then early Christians celebrated their Mother Church.  In the seventeenth century this day was broadened to embrace real mothers and the name Mothering Sunday came about.

Mother’s Day always falls during Lent and in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this was a day when families were permitted to break the fasting of Lent, and workers were allowed to spend the day with their families.

Today, Mother’s Day is all about showing your mum just how much she means to you – buying her a Mother’s Day gift and a card, and spoiling her for the day (I hope my husband and children are reading and paying attention – gifts for mum is important!).

This year Mother’s Day is on March 22nd (or May 10th if you’re in the US) – write it down NOW and then let us help you find some beautiful gifts for mum.
