Celebrate Mother’s Day in Gothenburg

2020-05-25

Surprise with a special experience or a tasty gift

Mothers all over the world deserve a special day! Mother’s Day was first celebrated in USA in 1908. A lady named Anna Jarvis had recently lost her own mother and wanted to honour her, so she convinced President Woodrow Wilson to instate an official Mother’s Day. The celebrations spread across the world and was first celebrated in Sweden in 1919. It is not an official holiday in Sweden but is still celebrated by many families. And of course, there are many reasons to celebrate the mothers in our lives! Here are our top tips for gifts and activities!

Treat her to a luxury dinner
