Mother’s Day is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of May every year. It honours mothers and their relentless love and care they bestow upon us. It was started in 1907 by Anna Jarvis during a memorial to her mother. Thereafter, she embarked on a campaign to have the day recognised as “Mother’s Day”.

Every mother’s day, it is a tradition for children to given carnations and other gifts like cards. The origin of giving carnations can be dated back to the time when Anna Jarvis offered carnations to her mother as they were her mother’s favourite flowers. This tradition was passed along when Mother’s Day was officially recognised as a holiday in 1914.

Aside from traditional gifts like carnations and cards, gift ideas for this special day have evolved greatly. If you’re on a budget but looking for a personalised gift, why not try digital scrapbooking?

Digital scrapbooking, an alternative of traditional scrapbooking involves creating them on a digital platform.
