Mother’s Day is your chance to spoil your Mum, Stepmum, Nan, Auntie – or anyone else in your life who you feel is deserving.
This year, go the extra mile and get them something unique and special to symbolise how much they means to you.
We have plenty of inspiration for Mother’s Day gifts…
When is Mother’s Day in 2025?
This year Mother’s Day falls on Sunday 15 March.
The date changes every year but it usually falls on the last Sunday in March in the UK.
However, as Easter falls earlier this year, Mother’s Day is earlier. This is because Mother’s Day usually falls three weeks before Easter, and on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
In the United States, Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday in May.
