Most importantly... when is Mother's Day?


In 2023, Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday 19th March in the UK, Sunday 14th May in the USA or Australia and Wednesday 10th May in Mexico.


*for a more in-depth explanation as to why they're celebrated on different dates across the globe... read this article here.

A special time to celebrate motherhood in all its glory; mums, grandmothers, stepmums, adoptive mums, expectant mums and all the other fabulous variations. But, if there's a fitting title for all of them, it would be... 'superwoman'.


Perhaps it's their first Mother's Day as a new mum (how lovely!). Perhaps you're sadly unable to see your mum in person this year due to travel restrictions and you want to let her know just how much she means to you.


Whether it's for mum, mummy, mom, mam, or mama. From son or daughter. Here you'll find lots of meaningful and funny messages to make her smile. Raise a glass to the strong women who've raised us!


So, read on and we'll inspire you. All you need to do is simply put pen to paper (well, 'card' to be exact)...
