About Mother's Day

Mother's Day is the time to celebrate Mom and endlessly thank her for the hours spent putting up with our antics throughout the years.

The holiday is observed on different dates around the world but is commonly celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Origins of the holiday can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who held festivals for the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Today, mothers traditionally receive flowers, breakfast in bed and gifts like jewelry and chocolates.

No matter what you're buying, make Mother's Day extra special by shopping from international retailers. It's easy to buy something unique from stores in the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong and Europe just by using your Borderlinx international forwarding addresses.

  • Designer Clothing and Accessories

    In the days leading up to Mother's Day, you'll see discounts from some of Mom's favorite designers. Retailers like Michael Kors, Nordstrom and Coach could drop prices on apparel and accessories as much as 70%. Mom will be impressed with her new handbag, and you'll score points for looking like you paid a ton of money for it.

  • Jewelry and Watches

    You'll see sales on jewelry for Mom, but buy early for the best savings. Retailers tend to offer higher prices closer to the holiday. Check out places like Amazon, and Overstock.

  • Beauty Gift Sets

    Beauty sets are perfect for Mother's Day because Mom gets multiple products in one gift. They're also a great money-saver because gift sets tend to cost much less than buying everything separately. Some even come with extras such as makeup pouches or brushes. Visit retailers like Macy's or Amazon for options.
