Mother's Day in Ukraine is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. It's a day to thank mum for her love, care and support. The gift needn't be expensive: what matters most is attention, warm words and time together. Here are Mother's Day gift ideas from grown-up and young children, self-care and relaxation gifts, experiences, flowers and card messages.
In Ukraine, Mother's Day is officially celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Children congratulate mothers and grandmothers, give flowers and spend time with family. We covered the holiday's history and traditions in Mother's Day in Ukraine.
Gift ideas for mum
From grown-up children, self-care and relaxation gifts work well: a spa or massage voucher, a skincare set, a soft robe, a throw or a reed diffuser. Keepsakes are lovely too: a family photo book, jewellery with the children's names or a digital frame with photos of the grandchildren. More ideas in birthday gifts for mum.
Little ones can delight mum with a drawing, a card, handmade jewellery or a breakfast made with dad. And the best gift for any mother is a day spent together: a family dinner, a picnic, the theatre or a trip.
Mother's Day flowers
May is the season of tulips, peonies and lilac, so a Mother's Day bouquet can be especially soft. Mums love pink and peony roses, hydrangeas, lisianthus and spring mixes. A bouquet or boxed arrangement graces the day, while a flowering pot plant will bring joy for a long time.
What to write in the card
Mum, thank you for every day filled with your love. You're the dearest person in the world. Or: Thank you for teaching me, supporting me and always believing in me. Happy Mother's Day! Gift ideas for dad are in Father's Day gift ideas.
