Most Beautiful Gifts for Mother’s Day for Every Budget

Mother’s Day has its roots in 1908 in West Virginia, USA, when social activist Anna Jarvis launched a campaign to honour the sacrifices mothers make for their children. What began as a personal tribute to her own mother quickly gained national recognition, and by 1914, Mother’s Day was officially declared a national holiday in the United States. Since then, it has evolved into a global tradition—a day dedicated to celebrating the love, care and strength that mothers bring into our lives.

Celebrated on 11 May 2025 in South Africa, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation for your mom or the mother figures in your life. And what better way to do so than with a thoughtful gift that makes her feel truly special?

Giving a gift is all about the gesture—not the size or the price. Treat her to something meaningful from Maxwell & Williams, and don’t forget the finishing touches: beautiful wrapping, a ribbon, and a heartfelt handwritten note.
