Whether she’s the first person you call in a crisis or the quiet cheerleader behind every win, your mom deserves to be celebrated. And what better time than Mother’s Day to let her know just how much she means to you?

Why Mother’s Day is the Perfect Time to Express Your Love

Mother’s Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s an opportunity to pause, reflect, and honour the woman who’s been a constant source of strength and love. But why is Mother’s Day celebrated? Globally, it’s a day to recognise the tireless efforts of mothers. 

In India, it carries additional depth. From waking us up for school to putting our needs before hers, the Indian mother symbolises selfless love and resilience.

With Mother’s Day in 2025 falling on Sunday, May 11, now is the time to start thinking about how to say “thank you”in a truly heartfelt way. Whether you live with her or are miles away, a well-chosen Mother’s Day gift can bridge the gap and express what words often cannot.
