DURING the 16th century, people in the UK would return to their church on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It also became a tradition that en-route, children would pick and gather flowers to place in the church or gift to their mothers. That tradition developed into what we now call Mother’s Day – a day set aside to honour and appreciate the mother figures in our lives.
While one could never go wrong with handpicked flowers, Glass has compiled a list of alternative gifts that are perfect for showing one’s appreciation on this special day.
