FAQs about Mother's Day gifts
In this section, we'll answer your top questions about our range of Mother's Day gifts.
When is Mother's Day in Australia, and how did it start?
Mother's Day began in 1908 in the United States after it was initiated by Anna Jervis to honour the work of her mother - peace activist and women's rights advocate Ann Jervis. The idea gained popularity in Australia as an occasion to recognise and thank mothers for their hard work. Mother's Day was first celebrated with gift-giving in Australia in 1924, thanks to Sydney woman Janet Heyden. She was inspired to collect charitable gifts for lonely mothers in a local nursing home. Mrs Heyden placed ads in local newspapers asking schools and businesses to donate lollies, soap, scarves, and hairpins. Over 850 women were given a gift on Australia's first Mother's Day in Sydney.
