Mother's day is a traditional celebration meant to honour Mom for everything she's done. We have been celebrating our mothers for centuries but the origins of our modern version of Mother's day as we know it dates back to the 1905 and a pre-war United States.
Originally founded by peace activist and suffragette, Anna Jarvis as a memorial to her own mother, this American version of Mother's Day that we celebrate was entirely focused on peace between nations, banding together of communities, and the celebration of the work women do in the family.
Gift Ideas for Mom
Last year, South Africans spent almost R500 million on Mother's Day gifts and cards. Clearly, we love and think about our mom's! This year, things are expected to be even more extravagant thanks to lighter restrictions on lockdown and the opportunity to visit our mom's once again.
Take a look at our selection of personalised gifts to buy mom this Mother's Day:
Outdoor Moms
For the Moms with a green thumb who enjoy spending time out in the garden, consider the weave and style of a breton hat. The best thing about this hat is its versatility. Meaning you can wear it anytime and any day. Easy to pack and crush resistant thanks to a shape that springs back into life, moms can take it anywhere.

Moms with sensitive feet
Does mom suffer from cracked heels? We all know how painful dry skin can be, especially in the colder dryer months. Invest in a pair of foot sleeves with moisturising cream for less than R100 and give mom the well-deserved relief from those agonising cracks.
For the mom who hosts
For the mom who enjoys fine luncheons and inviting friends around for tea, this year's look for cuisine condiments is Caspari blue and white so consider getting mom a set of stylish napkins with these designs. Impressive and highly detailed print quality will have everyone asking her where she got it.

Not only will mom be able to focus on getting in a good run herself. But will have a secure and safe connection to the pup without the risk of letting go of the lead.
