Originally in the UK, Mother's Day didn't have much to do with actual parents! People would take the fourth Sunday of Lent to return to their "mother church" - typically this time was a moment when the whole family could be together, but it was not until some influence from USA and Canada in the early 20th century that it became the commerical holiday that it is today.
Regardless of it's origin, it's certainly a well celebrated holiday today, and can be a lovely way to mark your appreciation for your mothers and mother figures.
Even from it's origins as a celebration during the period of Lent, gifts of flowers, cakes and time spent with family were a common theme of mother's day. Later, in the 20th century, cards to send to mothers became a popular gift. These traditions hold true today, and of course once March / April rolls around, many of us still gift the traditional flowers, cards and baked goods to our mums and mother figures.
These gifts are always a classic and reliable gift, but often these days, outings (such as high teas, dinner, treatments and more!), small homewares, clothing and luxury toiletries are also popular mother's day gifts. Whether you choose traditional or more unusual, there are plenty of ways to shop small and discover unique cards and gifts for mother's day.

Not seeing mum this Mother's Day, but still want to make sure she’s loved, appreciated, and well and truly missed? Check out these cards that are perfect for mums who are on the other side of the country, planet, or even just the M25.
The arrival of the sun always fills us Brits with some optimism for the warmer months, and many mums have a soft spot for gardening. But even those mums who don't like to get their hands dirty, often look forward to getting out the garden furniture and spending summer in the garden.
With that in mind, a garden-themed Mother's Day gift that she can use in the summer months is perfect - such as pretty chair pads, drinks coolers, or perhaps a beautiful Bee Print to hang near the back door, kitchen window or in the conservatory. Finish of the gift with some floral wrapping paper as a floral finishing touch.

For the mums that love a tipple or two - send her a bottle of luxurious bubble, or opt for a fancy gift box or kit to mix things up.
Can't Wait to Squeeze You Card
Give her the gift of plans - because it's always nice to have something to look forward to! For those of you that won't see your parent in person on Mother's Day, pick her a present for the future - spa vouchers, theatre tickets, fine dining, whatever floats her boat - and send them along with this cute, can't wait to see you card.
Celebrating a first Mother’s Day is a magical momeny. Mark the occasion with a special mother's day card they can treasure forever, along with some home comforts for a likely exhausted new parent - whether it’s a meal-kit delivered to the door for easy preparation, a cosy new set of PJs, or just a few minutes to herself to take a shower, eat a proper meal and sit down in one spot - it’s sure to mark the moment in a small and lovely way.
Not everyone has the traditional, nuclear TV-Sitcom version of a family, and for many reasons traditional Mother's Day gifts and cards don't always fit perfectly. But if there’s someone in your life who’s been a mother-type figure that you’d like to acknowledge this year, here’s some ideas to show them they’re loved.
