Mother's Day Traditions Around The World
Mother's day traditions may vary, but the emotion and love that ties families together is the same all over the world. No matter how or when it is celebrated, it simply serves as a reminder of all mums do for their families every single day and the honour they deserve because of it.

Perhaps mothers all around the world will be envious of India's Mother's Day traditions - Hindus in India celebrate mothers and women during a 10-day festival called Durga Puja in October. People worship Mother Goddess Durga during this time and celebrate the triumph of good over evil.

Similarly in Peru, Mother's Day celebrations are spread over a 7 day period. Families spend this time organising special meals, parties and trips for their mothers. What's even better is that mothers can visit museums, exhibitions, and festivals for free during this week, definitely something that should be introduced in the UK, don't you agree?
Family is the most important aspect of an Italian’s life so it's no surprise Italian mothers are the most significant person in the household! La Festa della Mamma is celebrated on the second Sunday of every May, family members get together and indulge their mothers and give them a day off cooking. Mother’s day in Italy ends with a dessert, most often a heart-shaped cake!

They offer just two different bouquets each week to ensure wastage stays low. What’s amazing about Petalon is that they are certified carbon neutral and donate 100% of their profits to UK conservation projects. What more could you want?!
2. If your mum is passionate about cooking and gardening then our next subscription is perfect! Jekka’s, a family run herb farm, have designed a Grow at Home package. Every 2 months you receive more herbs to add to your growing garden. Throughout the year you'll be able to add colour and flavour to your meals and enjoy the calm of caring for plants.
3. Nothing beats the gift of food so why not treat your mum to a gift voucher for one of her favourite restaurants.
