Unique Mother's Day Gifts

Mother’s Day is one of those days throughout the year that you don’t want to forget, but it can be tricky to keep track because the date changes every year and even celebrated on different days around the world. This year, it falls on Sunday, May 13^th in the United States. But why is this holiday so important, and where did it originate? Mother’s Day was originally celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at a church in Grafton, West Virginia. She began the campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized U.S. holiday a few years prior in 1905, following her mother’s death. The fight to make the holiday official was finally won in 1914, when Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation confirming that Mother’s Day will be celebrated the second Sunday of every May.

Today, the holiday has been widely accepted across the United States. Families show their appreciation in many ways. Some buy flowers, others cook breakfast in bed, and many look for meaningful and unique Mother’s Day gifts.
