Farhi's Ultimate Mother's Day Gifting Guide
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate the incredible women who shape our lives, and in the UK, it takes place on the last Sunday of March. The tradition dates back to the 16th century, when it was originally known as Mothering Sunday, a day when people would return to their "mother church" for a special service during Lent. Over time, it became a day for family reunions, and children would often bring small gifts or flowers for their mothers.
The modern version of Mother’s Day, inspired by the American holiday, gained popularity in the early 20th century. In the United States, it was first officially celebrated in 1908, thanks to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honour her late mother. It became a national holiday in 1914. Although the UK already had its own tradition of Mothering Sunday, the influence of the American celebration helped revive and reshape it into the holiday we recognise today.
Whether you’re honouring your mum, grandmother, or a motherly figure, finding the perfect gift is a wonderful way to show appreciation. Nothing conveys love quite like luxurious confectionery for Mother's Day, and Farhi has an exquisite selection of indulgent treats to suit every personality.
