Mother’s Day as we know it is a kind of recent holiday, though it is not really a “Hallmark holiday” established to sell more cards. There are a number of Mothering day or Mother-focused holidays in history such as Mothering Day in the UK, Cybele in ancient Greece, or Mothering Sunday in much of Europe. Mother’s Day was trademarked by Anna Jarvis in 1912. Mother’s day was particularly chosen to be a singular possessive meaning it was suitable for each family to respect their mother, not plural possessive that would be used to honor all the mothers of the world. Following congressional passage, It was officially established on May 9, 1914 when president Woodrow Wilson made the official statement proclaiming Mother’s day as a national holiday to be celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May. Mother’s Day has ultimately been adopted by many other countries and cultures. In many cases, the date was changed to fit current celebrations or to concur with a significant date in which the majority are based on religion. Due to this fact, Mother’s Day is celebrated in February in Norway and on December 22nd in Indonesia, with several other dates in between celebrated by other countries and cultures. One of the traditions of Mother’s Day is to give your mom a surprise along with positive wishes as a way to honor her. If you live close by (and are seeing your mom regularly!) you no doubt have a good idea what to buy her. Then again, those of us that don’t live close can be at a complete loss. Consider the things Mom take pleasure in a perhaps send her a surprise with that theme. Gift baskets are wonderful when it comes to gifts with a theme. If your mom take interest in golf there are golf themed gift baskets. Possibly she is into tea and relaxation then buy a nice tea baskets or a relaxing spa basket. Maybe she take pleasure in fine wine and you know she likes red wine or white wine or even champagne. There are a number of great wine gift baskets to select from that feature wine which would make a perfect Mother's day basket. The selections are many and what a gift baskets does, is give you a nice variety of goodies that she will take pleasure in with the theme she will appreciate. Rather than sending clothes yet again this year, you might consider a Golfers Gift Basket. Whether at the range, on the green, or in the 19th hole, this gift will add to anyone's game, but not to their score. This custom designed basket filled with great golf items and food to make an impression. This golfer gift basket includes a box of balls, golf snack mix, golf cookies, sports drink, tees, and lots of good munchies for your favorite golfer to enjoy. Great golfer's gift for birthday, Father's Day golfer gift, Thank you gift or even a get well gift for a golfer. Another thing to think about here is the useful factor. What I mean by this is many of the gifts that you give your mom are either unnecessary or something she will never us. So, consider something green, useful and best of all reusable. The green and reusable is the present holder which could be a reusable basket or even a 100% recycled reusable shopping bag.
