Giving Mother’s Day gifts is a common trend. How about you making it a journey in itself. Something that she is going to cherish for a long time, the memories associated with getting the Mothers Day present. Turn the whole process of exchanging gifts into a treasure hunt for your mom. Anna Jarvis was unmarried and was left alone with only her sister when her mother passed away in 1905. She realised the role that mothers play in our life and felt that we fail to recognise and appreciate our mothers enough when they are alive. This was how that Anna, with the help of some friends began a letter-writing campaign in support of observing a national Mother’s Day holiday. Julia Ward Howe succeeded in reaching out to influential leaders of those times, like William Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, and John Wannamaker to promote Mother’s Day. This gave a much needed awareness to the idea.
