Mother’s Day offers and promotions

What and when is Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day, also sometimes called mothering Sunday, is a celebration honouring mothers all around the world. Although it is always on a Sunday, the exact date varies from year to year, as well as from country to country. Traditionally the day was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was common for servants to have the day off and pick some flowers on their way back to their hometowns. Nowadays, it is considered a secular holiday to show our appreciation to mothers all over the world, even though it is still celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent.

Mother’s Day is not only a day to celebrate mums, but also stepmothers, mothers-in-law, grandmothers or any maternal figure. It is common to spoil your mum on this day with breakfast in bed, a meal out, a card with loving quotes inside, flowers, chocolates and other gift ideas. At schools, children make cards and other crafts to gift their mothers with. If you can’t be with your mother on day, it is common to call and share your Mother’s Day wishes with her.
