From Pasta Necklaces to Timeless Art – The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

From Pasta Necklaces to Timeless Art – The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift

There was a time when the ultimate Mother’s Day gift was a macaroni necklace lovingly crafted in school. Simple, colorful, and slightly uneven, it was always received with a beaming smile and an exaggerated “Oh, I love it!” from our moms. Today, while our crafting skills may not have improved, our gift ideas certainly have!

Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to show appreciation not only to our own mothers but also to the mothers of our children, our wives, and the women who shape our lives. This year, instead of another last-minute flower bouquet, why not offer a timeless and meaningful gift—one that reflects her personal journey and the places she loves?

A Short History of Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day as we know it has roots going back to Ancient Greece and Rome, where festivals honored maternal goddesses. However, the modern version was pioneered in 1908 by Anna Jarvis in the United States, who sought to establish a day to recognize mothers’ love and sacrifices. Officially adopted in the U.S. in 1914, the holiday quickly spread worldwide, with each country adding its own traditions and dates of celebration.

In the UK and Ireland, Mother’s Day is observed in March, while in France, the USA, and Canada, it takes place in May—giving us plenty of opportunities to celebrate the amazing women in our lives!
