Celebrate Mother's Day – history, meaning and perfect gift ideas

Why do we celebrate Mother's Day?

Mother's Day is one of the most emotional holidays of the year, a day dedicated to the amazing women who have shaped our lives with their love, strength and care. The tradition originally comes from the United States, where Anna Jarvis organized the first official celebration in 1908 to honor her mother and all mothers. The celebration quickly spread and in 1914 Mother's Day was recognized as a national holiday in the United States. In Sweden, we began celebrating Mother's Day in 1919, initiated by Cecilia Bååth-Holmberg. The day always falls on the last Sunday in May, which gives us the opportunity to pay tribute to our mothers when spring is in full bloom.

Mother's Day: More than just a holiday

Mother's Day isn't just a reason to buy flowers and chocolate. It's a time to reflect on everything our mothers have done for us – from the little comforts of childhood to the big milestones of adulthood. It's about showing appreciation, saying thank you and creating memories together. And what better way to express your love than with a thoughtful gift that lasts?
