Never too late for mum

The UK might have already celebrated Mother’s Day on March 15, but in many countries, including Australia, families celebrate their mums this Sunday.

It’s been going a while so there’s no excuse for forgetting – the tradition was created by Anna Jarvis in the USA in the early 20^th century.

David Jinks of ParcelHero (which obviously has a vested interest here), says you can get gifts to Australia in three days, so it’s (almost) not too late to send your mum a gift to show you are thinking about her.

People with mums in a number of other countries have more time. For example, Poland doesn’t celebrate Mother’s Day until 26 May, Argentina until 18 October and Russian mums have to wait until 29 November.
