For just one day a year we can pay homage to the efforts of hard working mothers up and down the country. On this rare occasion, it is the female relatives in the family who can enjoy exclusive tender love and care. As such, weighing in mind the once a year nature of Mother's Day coupled with the neverending efforts of our mums, when the day eventually arrives, it is our duty as loving children to express our most sincere gratitude, love and admiration.
Mother's Day in modern times is celebrated on different days in many countries of the world - most commonly in March, April, or May as a day to honour and celebrate mothers and motherhood. Purchasing a gift that encapsulates our feelings for our mum is something we all love to do, and never more so on this special day.
In the UK and Ireland, Mother's Day follows the old traditions of Mothering Sunday and is celebrated on the Fourth Sunday in Lent - a moveable feast that falls on different weeks during March or April - the earliest possible date being 1 March and the latest 4 April. The US Mother's Day is on a different day - second Sunday in May - and has different origins, being 'created' by a West Virginian woman, Anna Jarvis, in 1908 as a day to honour your own mother.
A teddy is a gift of universal appreciation, adored across generations and welcomed openly among the sexes. Few items incite greater feelings of content, of well-being and of affection, and a teddy bear really fits the bill - like no other gift can - when presented as a show of love on Mother's Day. For this special day, Teddy Bear friends has drawn together a collection of its most cute Mothers day teddy bears and loving gifts, so as to help you find a gift that your mum will adore for this fast approaching event. As an additional extra, it is also possible to couple any teddy bear gift with a range of indulgent chocolates and quality greeting cards, offering a unique range of gifts for Mothers day.
