Mother's Day gifts: Great gift ideas for mom on Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a very special day, after all, there is hardly anyone else who is as close to us as our mom. Every year in May, we celebrate Mother's Day and look for special Mother's Day gifts to simply say "thank you" to our mom. ❤️ It is not so easy to find the perfect gift for Mother's Day. Of course, classics like flowers always work. But there are also many other beautiful gift ideas for Mother's Day.
We have gathered a few inspirations for Mother's Day gifts here for you. We also clarify the question of whether Mother's Day is really an invention of the florists and when we actually celebrate Mother's Day (spoiler: it is not the same day every year).
The history of Mother's Day
Although it is often claimed that Mother's Day is an invention of the flower trade, this is actually not the case. Mother's Day originally arose from the American women's movement. 🇺🇸 Its founder is considered to be Anna Marie Jarvis, who organized a Memorial Mothers Day Meeting on the second anniversary of her mother's death in May 1907. The following year, the service was dedicated to all mothers and 500 white carnations were distributed to the mothers present. Afterwards, Anna Marie Jarvis launched an initiative with the goal of introducing an official holiday to honor mothers. And with success: in 1914, Mother's Day was officially celebrated for the first time in the USA. 35 years later, it was also declared a holiday in Germany and has since been the day each year when we say thank you to mom with small gifts.
When is Mother's Day?
Mother's Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday in May. The date changes every year: in 2024, Mother's Day falls on May 12, while in 2025 we will celebrate Mother's Day on May 11.
Mother's Day gifts: What is given for Mother's Day in Germany
When you think of Mother's Day gifts, the classic comes to mind first: flowers. And indeed, this assumption is not wrong: according to a survey, almost half of Germans give flowers for Mother's Day. 💐 But an invitation to a meal (31%) as well as sweets and chocolates (17%) are also among the top 3 most popular Mother's Day gifts. No matter what the gift ends up being: more than three-quarters of Germans believe, according to a survey, that Mother's Day is a nice opportunity to say "thank you" to their own mother.

A flowering sponsorship for Mother's Day
Why a bouquet of flowers when it can be a whole flower meadow? 🤩 With our flowering sponsorship, you give your mom a sponsorship for a piece of flowering meadow in the size of your choice for Mother's Day. 🌸 As soon as your mom redeems her sponsorship, we take care of the rest: We plant the flower meadow, take care of maintenance, and send your mom a monthly email update on the current status of her flowering sponsorship.
By the way, you also do something good for nature, because with your flowering sponsorship we transform agriculturally used areas in our home region of Nordhorn into buzzing, humming flower meadows that create an important habitat for insects and many other native animals. 🐝

This is what our customers say
Really a super cute idea that was well received!!! Thank you. :)
Great quality! Super packaging! I give it as a gift for many different occasions and everyone is always very happy – last time at a children’s birthday party, both young and old were equally delighted!
In times like these, when the WORLD really urgently needs a bit more (green) INSPIRATION – and (not just because of Corona and the flood disaster) many of us could use a little piece of "magic" (hope), the idea to pack "Wish Fulfillers" in the form of dandelions in a jar is something special! THANK YOU for this little RAY OF LIGHT in these currently – for many of us – quite "dark times." And it’s really nice to see that there are still companies for whom more than just pure profit is important. Please stay that way. Wishing you and all your loved ones to get through the Corona time well. And above all: stay healthy.
I ordered two sets at the end of July and gave one away, which was very well received. The packaging is very nice and so is the variety of *bombs*. This year, I haven’t dared to just throw seed bombs into the landscape because of the drought. But something is already growing in the flower box; whether the plants will grow big, I don’t know, it’s already late in the year. And seed bombs have also sprouted in my friend’s garden. Next spring, we’ll really get started.
A very nice and individual gesture! Shipping was super fast, I’m happy :)
The person who received the gift was very happy about the heartfelt good luck charm.
The Wish Fulfiller was very well received. Unfortunately, I see that they have been sold out for a while. Is there hope for a new edition? It would be a shame if not.
I ordered the Wish Fulfillers and they are great for making someone happy... Super friendly team! I can only recommend it.
Dandelions just feel magical. I have given your "Wish Fulfillers" for various occasions and it was always something special. Whether for a birthday, farewell, as a nice guest gift, or for Christmas. It always brought a sparkle to the recipient’s eyes. It’s simply beautiful.
The card is very beautifully designed and also very high quality. From now on, I will only buy these cards; they are an absolute eye-catcher and the flower seeds naturally complete it perfectly.
