As Mother's Day approaches, celebrated on May 11, 2025, in many countries including Ecuador, it’s time to honor the remarkable women who have shaped our lives. This annual celebration, rich in history and sentiment, is an opportunity to express gratitude to mothers everywhere for their unwavering support and love. From chocolates to luxurious skincare, here’s a comprehensive gift guide to help you find the perfect way to show appreciation this year.
Mother's Day has deep roots, tracing back to ancient civilizations. In ancient Greece, Rhea, the mother of the gods, was venerated at the beginning of spring. Similarly, in ancient Rome, the festival known as 'Hilaria' honored the goddess Cybele, the mother of all gods. These traditions laid the groundwork for what we now recognize as Mother's Day.
The modern observance of Mother's Day began in the United States, thanks to Anna Jarvis, who organized the first official celebration in 1908 to honor her late mother. Her efforts led to the adoption of the second Sunday in May as a day of recognition for mothers, which was formalized in 1914.
This year, as we prepare to celebrate, various brands are offering unique gifts to make this day special. For instance, ISDIN promotes its Retinal Intense serum, a night treatment designed to rejuvenate skin in just four weeks. This gift not only shows love but also encourages self-care, making it an ideal choice for mothers who deserve a moment of pampering.

As we celebrate Mother's Day, it’s essential to remember that the best gifts come from the heart. Whether it’s a simple bouquet of flowers, a box of gourmet chocolates, or a thoughtful piece of jewelry, the gesture of giving is what truly matters. Chocolates remain a classic choice, and with the rise of high-quality chocolatiers in Chile, this gift can be made even more special by choosing unique flavors that cater to your mother's tastes.
Perfumes are another traditional gift, but this year, consider exploring natural fragrance options that offer something different. A cozy pair of pajamas can provide comfort, especially during the cooler months, while stylish leggings can cater to the active mothers who juggle fitness with their daily routines. Handbags are also a wonderful gift, allowing mothers to express their style while being practical.
