Mother's Day: A Tribute to the Women Who Shape Our Lives
Mother's Day is one of the most heartfelt holidays we celebrate each year. It's a day when we stop, reflect, and express our gratitude to the women who have stood by our side throughout our lives. But how did the tradition really begin, and why do we give gifts on Mother's Day?
The history behind Mother's Day
The celebration of mothers can be traced all the way back to ancient Greece and Rome, where festivals were held in honor of mother goddesses. In modern times, however, it was American Anna Jarvis who fought to establish Mother's Day as an official holiday in the early 20th century. In 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation making the second Sunday in May the official day to honor mothers.
Sweden adopted the tradition a few years later, and since then Mother's Day has been an obvious opportunity to show appreciation, often with a personal gift.
Why we give gifts on Mother's Day
Gifts are a way to say "Thank you." A way to show that we see and appreciate all the work, all the love, and all the small actions that are otherwise easily taken for granted. A thoughtful gift on Mother's Day becomes more than an object – it becomes a memory, a feeling, a recognition.
