The second Sunday in May was officially established as Mother’s Day in the early part of the 20th Century, when President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure making it so. The original idea for Mother’s Day began before the Civil War when Ann Reeves Jarvis started the “Mother’s Day Work Club” to help teach young women how to care for their children. Other iterations followed, including “Mother’s Friendship Day” and “Mother’s Peace Day.”

Then, in the early 1900s, Ann’s daughter, Anna Jarvis, memorialized her Mother’s original activities by working to get a special day on the calendar to honor the sacrifices that Mothers make for their children. Nowadays, it is customary to give Mom a gift to enhance her personal comfort such as those shown in our Top Picks For Mother’s Day:
