First mother's day gifts FAQ's

Is your first mother's day when you have baby or when you're pregnant?

This can cause some common confusion around this time of year when it comes to buying mother's day gifts and cards. While we'd definitely encourage treating a mum-to-be to a lovely mother's day gift this year, the official first mother's day is when baby has been born.

Is it appropriate to buy friends a first mothers day gift?

Traditionally, a mother's day gift is given to mum from their children. If the children are too young to pick a present for mum themselves, then mums partner or friends may buy mum a gift on behalf of baby. In recent years, the lines of tradition have been blurred, and we don't think there's anything wrong with buying your friend or close family member a first mother's day gift. If you're keen to stick to a budget this year but still want to show the mamas in your life some love, then why not try some DIY Mother's Day crafts that make lovely gifts?
