Mother’s Day 2025: When Is It… and What Are You Getting Her This Year?

If you're anything like me, you've probably Googled "when is Mother's Day this year?" more times than you'd like to admit. Living in Sydney while my mum is in the UK, I've learned the hard way that we don't actually celebrate it on the same day — and yes, that has meant a few belated “oops, I still love you” gifts over the years.

🗓️ Why Mother’s Day Dates Are Different Around the World

Mother’s Day isn’t a globally unified holiday — it varies depending on tradition, culture, and religion. In Australia, we celebrate it in May, but in the UK, it's usually in March, tied to the Christian calendar and known as Mothering Sunday.

Here’s a quick rundown of Mother’s Day 2025 dates around the world:

💬 My Mum, My Heart (Even When She’s 17,000km Away)

For me, Mother's Day always feels a bit split. I’m soaking up the Sydney sunshine, and she’s rugged up in a jumper in London. We’re sending voice notes, dodging time zones, and laughing at old photos over WhatsApp.

But even across oceans, one thing never changes — that feeling of wanting to give her something meaningful. Something beautiful. Something that feels like a warm hug from afar.

Something that makes her feel like she just stepped off the sand in Bondi — even if she’s halfway across the world, wrapped in a blanket, sipping tea on the sofa.
