Mother's Day Photo Frames
It seems spring may have actually sprung (finally)! As we get towards the end of April, there is one holiday that is fast approaching that has a tendency to take us all by surprise ­– Mother’s Day!

Hobby frames, travel frames, and of course, family frames are the perfect, thoughtful gift. Pick out a sweet picture for your picture frame and it will be sure to get mom all teared up this Mother’s Day.
Of course, the holiday has been around for a while now, so as we were thinking of gifts, we couldn’t help but wonder where it all started. Here’s what we found out!

  1. Spring festivals were held to honor the goddess Rhea in Greek mythology. She was said to be the mother of many gods and springtime was the time to honor her, just as springtime is when we honor our mothers now.
  2. Ancient Romans also celebrated their mother goddess Cybele with a springtime festival that lasted for three days. These festivals were complete with masquerades, parades, games, and offerings.
  3. In 17th century England, the fourth Sunday of Lent was called ‘Mothering Sunday’ and in church a prayer would be said to honor the Virgin Mary. Many people would return to their “mother church” where they had grown up and give flowers to their mothers.

While we all wish we could throw our mothers a three-day long festival with parades and masquerades, we know that getting everyone in the family together for one day can be pretty tough, let alone three! Plus, good masquerade masks are so hard to come by these days… Luckily GiftWorksPlus has you covered with all the unique gifts and personalized photo frames you need to help make Mother’s Day special. Whether you are looking for a beautiful photo frame from a happy memory of the two of you, or if you think she may enjoy some of our Smooth as Silk Body Butter, visit our website for the perfect gift to make this the best Mother’s Day yet!
