Mother's Day gifts 2025: jewellery and watches for the best mom in the world
Once a year, a very special person takes centre stage: our mom! Whether we celebrate her as an everyday hero, the heart and soul of the family, or simply as that incomparable woman who has been there for us throughout our lives – Mother's Day is an ideal occasion to express our sincere gratitude for everything. And what more stylish way to do this than with a gift that will light up our mom's eyes with its sparkle and shine? As Mother's Day gifts 2025, pieces of jewellery with symbolic depth or watches of exclusive beauty create magical moments of connection. Before we delve into the seductive world of fine jewellery and beautiful watches, let's take a brief excursion into the history of Mother's Day.
History of Mother's Day
Even in ancient times, the Greeks and Romans celebrated festivals in honour of mother goddesses such as Rhea and Cybele. The modern Mother's Day dates back to the American women's rights activist Anna Jarvis. With the first Mother's Day, she wanted to honour her mother Ann and at the same time set a precedent for the social and political role of women in society. Anna Jarvis was a strong-willed woman. After her mother's death in 1905, she passionately campaigned for the introduction of a day of honour for mothers. In 1908, on the third anniversary of Ann Jarvis's death, she distributed 500 carnations, her mother's favourite flowers. The symbolic gesture initially delighted florists, who already sensed a lucrative business opportunity. Anna Jarvis's efforts were not crowned with success until 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday in May a holiday.
Mother's Day was introduced in Germany in 1923. Here, too, the initial goal was to draw attention to the social position of women. In response to the understandable criticism that Mother's Day is no longer contemporary and reinforces outdated gender roles, it can be argued that Anna Jarvis originally intended something positive and progressive: to honour women and strengthen their rights. Nevertheless, especially considering the politically very active "Mother of Mother's Day," it would certainly be a good idea to perhaps celebrate Mother's Day as a "Care Work Day" in the future, thereby focusing more generally on the tasks of care and support – regardless of the gender of the person providing the care.
