Mother's Day is a day for mums to stop what they normally do, take a breather from the daily grind and relax.
For New Zealanders it takes place on the second Sunday of May.
In the UK the date is celebrated on Mothering Sunday in March. Around the world Mother’s Day is celebrated on 35 different dates during the year. But whatever the date the idea behind the day is the same - celebrating your mum and mothers from all cultures.
Whether it's your mother, step-mum, grandmother, mother-in-law, or an inspiring female in your life they all like to be made to feel special, at least for one day in the year.
Here's a few Mother's Day suggestions your mum may enjoy.

Flowers
They're an oldie but a goodie, a favourite for many mums is a glorious bouquet of flowers.
Pine and Ginger is a new flower truck in Auckland. Led by florist Daryian Teei, Pine and Ginger is taking a fresh approach to floristry by operating off the back of a 74’ Land Rover on Auckland’s Tamaki Drive. Pine and Ginger is a one stop shop for fresh flowers. Whether you are looking for something small and sophisticated or big and bright Pine and Ginger produce beautiful bouquets for every taste, served with a side of great banter. Swing by their truck this week to pick up your Mother’s Day bouquet or contact them to get a beautiful bouquet delivered to your deserving mother this Sunday.
You can find them at 19 Tamaki Drive, Orakei, Wednesday- Friday every week or click here.
Whatever happens, the main thing is mum has a day to remember. Some well-meaning gifts are the icing on the cake.
