Mother’s Day Is Sunday, May 8th

Gifts She’ll Adore

In the U.S., Mother’s Day dates back to the 19th century in the years before the Civil War. A woman named Ann Reeves Jarvis helped launch a Mother’s Day Work Club to teach local women how to properly take care of their children. These clubs later took on a key role in unifying women across the country during the Civil War. In 1868, Jarvis organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day” during which mothers joined with former Union and Confederate soldiers to foster reconciliation.

The Abolitionist and Suffragette, Julia Ward Howe wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation” in 1870 asking mothers to unite in promoting world peace. Following her mother’s death in 1905, Ann Reeves Jarvis invented a Mother’s Day to honor the sacrifice mothers have made for their children throughout the centuries. She argued that American holidays were based on celebrating male achievements and she launched a huge campaign to adopt a special day to honor mothers. By 1912, Mother’s Day had been adopted by many states. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially adopting Mother’s Day as the second Sunday in May.

Fast forward to the present day. Did you know that more phone calls are placed on Mother’s Day than on any other day of the year? We think you can do a lot better than that, though. A phone call is nice, but nothing beats a thoughtful gift.
