Mother's Day - 30th March 2025
Mother’s Day is a time to recognise and celebrate the incredible women who have nurtured, guided, and supported us throughout our lives. Each year, we look for meaningful ways to show our appreciation—through flowers, chocolates, a little handmade gift, or maybe just the gift of time. Sometimes, the most memorable gifts are the ones that hold a personal connection.
Naturally, we love Mother’s Day here since many customers make it extra special by choosing a personalised sunrise print from a significant day in your mum’s life, usually the birth of a child which serves as a deeply personal and lasting reminder of this special moment in time.
However we also understand that sometimes the simple gifts are the best, so have rounded up a few ideas below to help if you’re struggling for ideas.
A Tradition Rooted in Gratitude
Firstly let’s go back in time… The idea of honouring mothers has existed for centuries. Ancient civilisations, including the Greeks and Romans, held ceremonies dedicated to goddesses of motherhood and fertility. The modern version of Mother’s Day, however, began in 1905 when Anna Jarvis, an American activist, campaigned to establish a national day of recognition. Her efforts led to the official declaration of Mother’s Day in the United States in 1914.
In the UK, the tradition is linked to “Mothering Sunday,” a time when people returned to their “mother” church and spent the day with family. Over time, it evolved into a broader celebration of love, gratitude, much like the one we recognise today.

10 Simple Ways to Make Mum Happy
Mums do so much for us, and sometimes, the best way to show appreciation is through small, meaningful gestures. Whether it’s Mother’s Day or just an ordinary day, here are some ways to bring a smile to her face:
1. Spend Quality Time Together
Time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Whether it’s a simple catch-up, a movie night, or a walk in the park, spending time together shows you care.
2. Surprise Her with Kindness
Little surprises can brighten her day—a heartfelt note, a home-cooked meal, or even offering to run an errand for her. Small acts of kindness go a long way.
3. Listen and Be Present
Sometimes, all a mum wants is to be heard. Put away your phone, make eye contact, engage and truly listen when she talks. It’s a simple but powerful way to show love.
4. Help Without Being Asked
Mums often take on many responsibilities without complaint. Offer to help out with jobs around the house, cook dinner, or handle something she usually takes care of—it will mean the world to her.
5. Show Appreciation
A simple “thank you” can go a long way. Let her know how much you appreciate all she does, whether it’s through words, a thoughtful text, or a little handmade note.
6. Give Her a Break
Mums are always busy looking after everyone else. Encourage her to take some time for herself—whether it’s a spa day, catching up with friends, a relaxing bath, or just an uninterrupted nap.
7. Share Happy Memories
Reminiscing about good times together can bring a smile to her face. Look through old photos, share stories, or create a scrapbook filled with cherished moments.
8. Support Her Interests
Does she love gardening, reading, or painting? Take an interest in what she enjoys—maybe gift her a book she’d love or spend an afternoon in the garden together.
9. Stay in Touch
If you don’t live nearby, a simple phone call or video chat can make her day. Regular check-ins remind her she’s always on your mind… top tip don’t just call when you want something!!
10. Give a Hug
Never underestimate the power of a warm hug. It’s a simple yet effective way to show love and make her feel appreciated.
At the end of the day, making your mum happy is all about showing love, appreciation, and thoughtfulness. It doesn’t have to be extravagant—sometimes, the simplest gestures mean the most.
“A new dawn represents fresh beginnings, hope, and the love that continues to grow with each passing day.”
Making It Personal
If you’re looking for something meaningful this Mother’s Day, choosing a sunrise from a special date can be a thoughtful and unique way to celebrate. With the option to personalise it with a message and select a size or frame that suits her space, it becomes so much more than just a gift—it becomes a lasting keepsake.
This year consider a reminder of a beautiful moment in time—one that reflects the love, memories, and connections that make Mother’s Day so special. A new dawn represents new beginnings, hope, and the love that continues to grow with each passing day. Unlike traditional gifts that fade, get eaten, drunk or get cast away, a sunrise print is a lasting tribute to the magical moments that shape our lives.
