Why is Mother's Day important?
Keeping the kids entertained, taking care of them, housework, shopping...: a mother has a lot of work. How much? According to statistics from the Federal Statistical Office for Germany, a mother with a child under six spends an average of about 55 hours a week doing unpaid work! Not at all without, right! So we hope you'll be sure to thank your mom more often. But Mother's Day is of course an ideal opportunity to express your gratitude with a beautiful and thoughtful Mother's Day gift.
When is Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is celebrated in Germany every year on the second Sunday in May. Incidentally, the day was officially declared a holiday in the USA in 1914. However, it took a few more years for it to become established in Germany, and it wasn't until 1922 that the first German Mother's Day was celebrated. Meanwhile, 80 countries around the world honor hard-working moms once a year. Not all holidays are on the same day, by the way! In Spain and Portugal, for example, Mother's Day falls on May 1, while in France or Belgium it is celebrated on the last Sunday in May.
History of Mother's Day
The history of Mother's Day dates back to the 19th century. In the 1860s, American feminist and peace activist Anna Jarvis campaigned to create a holiday to honor the work and achievements of mothers. After the death of her own mother in 1905, Jarvis launched a campaign to make Mother's Day an official holiday. Nearly a decade later - in 1914 - her efforts bore fruit and the first Mother's Day was celebrated in the United States.
Creative gift ideas for Mother's Day
The be-all and end-all for any gift is thought. Before you run to the nearest store, just think for a few minutes: What does your mom like to do? How does she spend her free time? What does she hate? For example, if she's an avid hiker, a gift certificate for a sports supply is a great idea. Does she already hate walking and is more of a "I'll take the car" type? Then you might want to reconsider the sports supplies gift certificate.
We've rounded up a few ideas for you to use as inspiration for your Mother's Day gift.
Personalized gifts: I ❤️ Mom
Personalized gifts are a great way to give a 08/15 gift that certain something. A mug with "Best mom in the world" is all well and good, but how about a mug with a pretty or funny picture you with your mom? Practical and yet unique! Meanwhile, there are many websites that offer such personalizations for shirts, mugs, phone cases and more.
Bouquet: Flower Power!
Buy wool rose? The bouquet on Mother's Day is almost a tradition, because it is always a nice idea. A bouquet not only enhances any table, it also reminds your mom of you a few days after Mother's Day! A large bouquet is also something that no mother buys herself. So ideal for you to intervene here! The bouquet will be especially personalized if you can tell the florist your mom's favorite color and/or favorite flower.
