Mother’s Day 2025 will be celebrated on Sunday, May 11, continuing the annual tradition of honoring mothers and motherhood. The date, confirmed by sources such as Hallmark, Good Housekeeping, and National Today, gives families time to plan and gift the special women in their lives. In the United States, Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday in May, a tradition established in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson designated it a national holiday to recognize mothers’ contributions. The day originated from Anna Jarvis’s early 20th-century efforts to acknowledge mothers’ sacrifices. Although the commercialization of Mother’s Day is debated, the sentiment remains significant for many. For 2025, retailers expect increased spending on flowers, jewelry, experiences, and personalized gifts. Economists predict continued growth in Mother’s Day spending, reflecting overall retail trends. While the May 11 date applies to the U.S. and many international observances, other countries celebrate on different dates, often tied to religious or historical significance. Preparations are underway for marketing campaigns highlighting modern mothers’ diverse roles and the importance of maternal figures. The National Retail Federation will release its annual Mother’s Day spending survey closer to the date, providing insight into consumer behavior and projected economic impact. Mark your calendars for May 11 to show gratitude and love.
