The winter is a difficult season for the plants. Cold, frost, snow and hail can cause significant problems in our garden. Very often, adverse weather conditions create marks on the leaves and damage to the shoots, which remain on our plants after the end of winter. In some cases, shoots and branches may break, as well as freeze the roots of the plants, causing damage that we can not repair. Vegetables, small ornamental plants and young fruit trees are most at risk during the frost. Also, significant problems occur in plants that we have in pots or plants that have been transplanted recently and do not have a strong root system.&nbsp;
Find below some tips to help the plants we have on our balcony and in the <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/futa/exoterikou-chorou-fyta.html">garden </a>withstand the <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/genikes-sumvoules-frontidas-futwn">cold</a> and reduce the damage that can be caused during winter.&nbsp;
<ol>
<li> We do not need to water the plants as often as we watered in the summer. You need to gradually reduce its watering. If you continue to water them there is a risk of mould or disease. A good way to understand when a plant that is dormant needs water is the soil. If the soil from above up to 5 cm depth is dry then you can water it.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="2">
<li>Move the sensitive plants to sheltered places on the balcony or inside the house. Prefer south-facing places to protect them from cold, frost and snow. We provide protection on the balcony for example for small fruit trees such as lemon, citrus etc. in a pot, as well as for sensitive aromatic plants such as basil, mint and oregano or for ornamental plants such as ficus and Benjamin. Some more sensitive plants, such as gardenia and azalea, succulents and cacti that have been recently transported, if necessary, move them inside the house to protect them from severe frost and snow. Place them in a bright place, away from radiators and a fireplace that can cause yellowing and drying at the edges of their leaves. Once the cold weather has passed, we take our plants out again in their normal position.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="3">
<li>Cover the plants with antifreeze fabrics, nets or special nylon during the winter. By covering the plants, we ensure protection from impending frost, snow and hail. Carefully cover the plants in such a way that they do not break leaves and shoots and do not tie them tightly to avoid poor ventilation.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="4">
<li> Avoid putting fertilizer on the plants at this time of the year. Also, avoid pruning them and removing their flowers before the frost to avoid encouraging the onset of new vegetation during the winter. In particular, due to adverse conditions, the tender new vegetation of the plants will be destroyed by low temperatures, snow and hail. As a result, our plant will be stuck in view of spring and its growth will be significantly delayed.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="5">
<li> Use compost both in the soil and in pots around the roots of the plants. The compost has the property on the one hand to maintain higher temperatures in winter, on the other hand helps the plants to grow a richer root system. Thus, they can better cope with any adverse climatic conditions.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="6">
<li>Spray the plants with organic algae extract or with a biological mixture of trace elements and amino acids before the bad weather to stimulate them before the frost, snow and hail fall. Algae are rich in trace elements, amino acids and natural hormones, reduce damage to plants, stimulate them and restore them to their original good condition.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="7">
<li>Dig your garden to help water it rain to be better absorbed. Clean your garden from the fallen leaves and dry branches. Plant shrubs around the garden so that they create a natural hedge. In addition to the beauty that will offer, it helps to protect from the air.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="8">
<li> If you have not already planted <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/genikes-sumvoules-volvoi">bulbs</a>, you can buy from the nurseries or a flower store near you sprouted bulbs with hyacinths, freesias, hyacinths, daffodils, anemones, crocus, lilies, irises, tulips, etc. and take them transplant in your garden or flower beds. You can also buy beautiful grown plants such as violets, pansies, calendulas, etc. and transplant them in your garden or as flower beds.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="9">
<li> Be sure to check your plants at regular intervals for any diseases or infestations.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="10">
<li> Choose plants that are suitable for your area. Choose the right place to plant the right plants. In the garden areas where there are strong and cold winds hardy plants should be planted. An intermediate solution is creating a windbreak -natural or artificial- to protect your plants.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="11">
<li> If the leaves of your plant start to turn yellow even though you are watering your plant and keeping it in the right place, then it is time to transplant it. Winter is a great season to transplant your plants into larger pots so that the plant is relaxed and its roots can grow while it breathes.</li>
</ol>
<ol start="12">
<li> In the winter when you take your plants indoors they are likely to be dusty. But the dust certainly does them no good. On the one hand, dust can cause diseases and on the other hand it prevents the absorption of sunlight. About once a month, clean the leaves with a wet cloth and they will be shiny and healthier!</li>
</ol>
<ol start="13">
<li> The dehumidifier makes the atmosphere at home more pleasant not only for you but also for your plants. In particular, with a dehumidifier it is easier to control the humidity levels in the room, in order to adapt it to the needs of your plants. This way you will reduce mould and other microorganisms that grow more easily when the humidity in the room is high.</li>
<li>Prune properly and reduce watering. If you notice damage (cracks) in the trunk or branches of your plants, you need to cover them with copper in order to not leave open gates to fungi.</li>
<li>Finally, remember that in winter we stop fertilizing, reduce watering and do not prune. Whatever is needed to be done it will be done at the end of winter, start of spring! Winter is an easy season perfect for gardeners to relax</li>
</ol>
Due to climate change the survival of plants is becoming more difficult nowadays. You need to take action in time because winter is always the most difficult time for your plants to survive.&nbsp;
Find in a flower store near your house great and beautiful plants that can withstand very cold and frost, but there is a way to protect them without much effort and will adorn your balcony and the interior of your home.

How to take care of plants in winter

Plants need three essential things to grow and thrive: plenty of sunlight, soil that is jam-packed with nutrients, and naturally, water. Let us show you how simple <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/frontida-futa-peripoiisi">plant care</a> can be!
Just as nature intended
Watering plants is not always easy. Water them too little and they will dry out; water them too much and you run the risk of waterlogging. This is why we developed an intelligent <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/plants/epaggelmatikoi-choroi.html">watering system</a> that allows plants to receive just the right amount of water they need – just as nature intended.
Simple, efficient, one of a kind!
Our intelligent irrigation system imitates a natural environment for plants. Our LECHUZA-PON plant substrate supports plants and gives them all the important nutrients they need. It also regulates the supply of water to the roots so that the plant always receives the right amount of water without the risk of waterlogging.
Magnificent plants that thrive!
Even without a green thumb, our irrigation system lets you enjoy an abundance of green leaves and colorful flowers just as nature intended. All you need to do is ensure that there is enough water in the reservoir after repotting.
Water once, then sit back and relax!
The water reservoir in our irrigation system is easy to fill from the outside. The water level indicator always keeps you informed of the amount of water in the planter. And once the reservoir is full, you can sit back and relax, or even go on vacation. Your plants will receive all the water they need.
How the irrigation system works
Classic system
Simply place the plant with LECHUZA-PON in the planter liner or directly in the planter. After the growing-in phase, your plant will receive all the water it needs from the reservoir.
Planting
Cover the separator with the supplied LECHUZA- PON substrate. Set the plant and LECHUZA-PON in the planter and fill the planter with soil.
Growing-in phase
Over the next 12 weeks continue to water the plant as you normally would, pouring water “onto” it from above. Once the growing-in phase is complete, the plant is able to care for itself.
Watering and dry phase
Following the growing-in phase, when watering the plant be sure to fill the water reservoir via the water supply shaft until the water level indicator reads “max.” Now your plant will care for itself, thanks to LECHUZA. If the water level indicator reads “min.,” this indicates the start of the “dry phase” for the plant; this phase can last 2–10 days. After each dry phase, refill the water reservoir to “max.” via the water supply shaft.
Water level indicator: Keeping the overview
Thanks to the water level indicator you always know whether you need to water your plant or not.Wait until the indicator is at „min.“ before rewatering. Does your plant prefer a drier climate? Then simply wait a few days before refilling the reservoir. The supply shaft makes it easy to fill the reservoir with water or fertilizer.
Drain plug: Practical for outdoors
For outdoor use simply unscrew the drain plug. An overflow ensures that enough water remains in the water reservoir. Excess water runs off and drains via the overflow. This protects your plants from becoming waterlogged even when it rains.
Wick watering system: No repotting necessary!
Quick and simple, the wick allows you to keep <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/mikra-fyta-esoterikous-chorous">small plants</a> in their pots when planting them in the planter.
Gather your grow pot and wick.
Insert the stick into the grow pot from below.
Place the pot in the planter. Water and enjoy.
Wick system - perfect for smaller plants
For plants with shorter roots that do not reach into the water reservoir, planters with an open plant liner with a wick are suitable. Water and nutrients stored in LECHUZA-PON reach the roots via the wick by capillary action and ensure a balanced supply of the plants. The All-in-One-Sets are, thanks to the included plant substrate LECHUZA-PON immediately ready for use.

How to use Lechuza pots

We believe that choosing the right pot that will suit your plants and enhance the overall aesthetic of your space is important. Remember to choose pots and planters that suit the specific needs of your plants, the environment they will be placed in, and your personal style preferences. Proper care and maintenance will ensure the health and longevity of your plants.
Plant pots are essential elements for gardening and adding greenery to indoor and outdoor spaces.
Here are some information to consider when choosing a pot for your plants:
Sizes and shapes: Discover pots in different sizes and shapes to accommodate different types and sizes of plants. Smaller pots are suitable for herbs and small plants, while larger pots can be used for trees or large flowering plants. Make sure the pot or planter is the right size for your plant's root system and growth potential.
Material: Pots are made from a variety of materials, including plastic, ceramic, terracotta, metal, and even wood. Choose a material that suits the needs of the plant and the climate. For example, terracotta is porous and breathable, while plastic retains moisture well.
Style and Aesthetics: Consider the overall aesthetic of your garden or interior space. Pots and planters come in different colors, shapes and styles to complement different types of decor such as modern, rustic or minimalist elegance etc. Choose a planter that matches the style of your space and adds aesthetics. Pots can be decorative and add elements to the garden or interior space.
Drainage: Proper drainage is vital to plant health. Most pots have drainage holes in the bottom to allow excess water to escape, preventing overwatering and root rot.
Pots without drainage holes: Sometimes pots without drainage holes are preferred for their aesthetic simplicity, although we do not recommend this option for beginners as watering mistakes can be difficult to correct.
Whether you choose to use drainage pots or not, we always recommend using a layer of stones, pebbles, or other solid materials at the base of the pot for proper drainage of your plant. A drainage layer allows the plant's roots to access oxygen, and a lack of drainage can damage your plant.
Self-watering pots: Plants in self-watering pots require careful watering of the soil after they are first planted. This is important because the plant roots must first grow in the pot. Water your plant for two to four weeks before using the tank. During dormant seasons or for plants that have slower growth habits, consider watering for a longer period of time.

How to choose the pot for your plant

Do you want to decorate your home or business with flowers and plants, but don't have time to give them the care they need? Artificial plants and flowers are a good choice for both home and office.
Indoor plants have entered our lives for good in recent years. Beyond a decorative trend, it is also a way to revitalize the atmosphere of the house, to give life to places that need it and to change your mood thanks to the colors generously offered by plants and flowers.
Give a "green" touch to your space with artificial plants that look like real ones. You can use them as the main source of greenery, or place them in addition to real plants.
Moreover, artificial plants are equally a good choice for office spaces or business spaces. Decorate the office vases with fake plants and colorful artificial flowers, the space will look much friendlier and refreshed with plants that you don't need to keep fresh.
Artificial plants and flowers are still useful as they can be placed in places you wouldn't put real plants. An empty corner or a dark spot are not ideal places to place real plants due to lack of light. In addition, wall shelves or your desk are also places where artificial plants and flowers would be better suited, due to space or weight.
Benefits of artificial plants
Fake plants like real ones are the smartest way to decorate your home, office and balcony. Research has shown that even artificial plants can improve the mood and mental health of people who use these spaces. This alone proves that you can create the ideal atmosphere in your home, office and balcony to improve your psychology, using artificial plants.
When it comes to taking care of natural plants, it is a task that can be time consuming. If you lead a busy lifestyle or suffer from plant-related allergies or perhaps lack the enthusiasm for gardening, artificial plants are the perfect solution for you.
Faux flowers and plants are the perfect alternative, offering the aesthetic benefits of live plants, without the hassle of any maintenance.&nbsp;
If you want to add some greenery to your decor, but don't have the necessary time to water and care for the plants in your home, then artificial plants are a great solution. Plants can give your interior a vibrant and fresh new look and now they look just like the real thing!&nbsp;
You can move your artificial plants to another location without worrying if this will disturb their flowering and health. Many times when we attempt to move a pot, the native plant is affected by the change in sunlight and its new environment. This problem does not exist if you have chosen to decorate your place with artificial flowers and plants.
Many times natural plants can harm a pet or a bird that visits our balcony. Some aromatic and herbaceous plants are toxic to the digestive system of these animals and most of the time we find out when the animal has already been affected by our plant. We recommend artificial plants, so you can be sure that your pets are not at risk of poisoning from a natural plant in your pots. With artificial plants, you don't have to worry about such incidents, whether your pet is curious about the new pot you installed or not.
Fake indoor plants will not be damaged by intense heat, nor will they freeze from freezing temperatures in winter. They are completely durable and allow you to enjoy your winter-summer holidays comfortably, without worrying about leaving the pot on the balcony. You'll also never again have to look for a neighbor to water your pots or build makeshift irrigation systems if no neighbor is willing to serve you.
Another key advantage of artificial plants, especially in the summer season, is that they do not attract insects. Insects and their larvae often find shelter under plant leaves and often feed on them. If you have plants on the balcony that have become a haven for insects, you will have a hard time getting rid of them. You will need to spray with special solutions, clean the plant by hand and sometimes prune the insect-infested area. On the contrary, fake plants stay clear of annoying insects and let you enjoy an evening on the balcony and relax.
Fake plants definitely have a lower purchase cost than real ones and of course they don't cost you extra in the future to maintain them. You will not need to buy soil and pots for transplanting, nor fertilizers and vitamins. You buy fake plants once and you have them forever!
Finally, another key advantage of artificial plants is that you don't have to worry about watering them during your trip. Your artificial plants will be waiting for you to return, maintaining their color and vibrancy even if you are away for several weeks! One less thing to sort out before your trip, therefore.
Useful tips for buying an artificial plant
We have some useful tips for buying an artificial plant. The first thing you should think about is its appearance. An empty plant with few leaves will look less realistic than a full one. As far as colors go, a plastic plant with leaves in different shades of green could really look like the real thing. It's also a good idea to keep color variations in mind when considering flowering plants, since you'll likely want the colors of the flowers to match your decor. Finally, the material is also an important element, as it plays a decisive role in the appearance of the fake plant.
How long will artificial plants last?
Artificial plants placed outdoors may not last as long as those placed indoors (due to weather, rain and UV rays from the sun) and how often the artificial plants are maintained (cleaned, etc.). So be sure to choose artificial plants that have been produced to the best standards and are extremely durable.
Decoration with artificial plants
Artificial indoor plants are a fantastic decoration option for any home. In addition to not needing constant care, they can give a much-desired touch of natural scenery and relax you from the intense everyday life.
Looking for hardy potted plants? You might even start thinking about artificial plants as a solution. Besides, they look like the real thing!
Artificial plants and trees for your home can transform it in ways you can't imagine. That's why we made this article to give you room-by-room decoration ideas with artificial plants and help you change the interior of your home in a smart and affordable way.
So let's see which artificial plants and trees suit every room in your house and how to complement the pleasant atmosphere.
Artificial indoor plants for living room
The living room is the most chic room in the house. Therefore, it needs to be surrounded by plants with a corresponding style. So for your living room we recommend Dracaena and Philodendron, two timeless aesthetic fake plants that will make your living room more beautiful, relaxing and elegant.
The Dracaena is an excellent addition to side tables next to a sofa, while the Leaf Tree can be placed next to the TV cabinet or even in an empty corner of the room, e.g. next to floor lamps, decorative baskets and stone floor figurines.
Artificial potted plants for bathroom
For your bathroom, we suggest a more exotic touch with a strong contrast of green and purple. Dieffenbachia and Calathea leaves are what your bathroom needs, to give you the feeling of showering on some exotic pedestal or under a gurgling waterfall. Complete the experience with aromatherapy and bath salts, allowing yourself to live the ultimate exotic moment in your own home.
Artificial indoor plants for the bedroom
Caladium and amaranth artificial indoor plants are excellent suggestions for bedrooms. Their low height and bright green leaves are uniquely suited to modern minimal white bedrooms, but also bedrooms with warm shades such as salmon, pink and coral. But they could also perfectly frame a more masculine bedroom in shades of gray, blue and ice white.
Artificial plants for the hall
Many times the hall of a house is the most empty and indifferent room. But things don't have to be this way. A Shefflera, a Bucarnea or a Ficus will bring life to your hall with their color and make the entrance to your home more interesting. You can illuminate your artificial plants in the hall with LED lights and make the space even more romantic in the evenings.
Tall artificial plants for balcony
Our house does not end with the rooms. Our balcony is an extension of our home and it deserves to be properly designed. With a Bamboo tree, a Chikas or a Daphne you can have a wonderful balcony that does not require care. In fact, these artificial plants for the balcony will immediately give you the privacy you need, without waiting years for any of the plants in your pots to grow.
To decorate a house or a workplace with artificial plants is clearly a much simpler case, since artificial plants do not need continuous care, nor are they going to acquire damage from their natural environment. You can choose tropical or edible artificial plants without restrictions and get a themed terrace of your liking.
Some ideas for themed decorations are:
Mediterranean&nbsp;
Tropical&nbsp;
Decor with Japanese plants
Classy decoration
Cacti and succulents
Vertical garden
Exotic palm trees in your home
Add a tropical touch to your home with a beautiful artificial palm tree. These trees feature full, lush leaves that give them a very realistic look and feel. They are quite tall, making them a welcome addition to any room!
Of course, you don't need to water a fake plant, but they do need cleaning now and then. You can easily wipe off the dust with a dry cloth and before you know it, the leaves will be back to a bright green color and looking great!
Artificial flowers will offer your space unique elegance and vitality that have nothing to envy in beauty from natural flowers. They are made of excellent materials, which ensures a realistic and beautiful appearance. Add touches of color and vibrancy to the home and office with exquisite artificial flowers. Place them in a beautiful vase or basket and combine them with candlesticks, wall frames or other table decorations
Fake plants can give a completely different dimension to a space, beautifying it and creating a wonderful atmosphere of relaxation. Place artificial plants in small pots on tables or hang them on the walls. Place them next to books, in the bathroom or in bare corners of your home, for a harmonious decorative approach.
Artificial plants give you complete flexibility while at the same time giving you all the experience of having indoor plants in your home.

Carnation, Mother’s flower
Anna Jarvis, founder of Mother's Day, used carnations on her first Mother's Day because carnations were her mother's favourite flowers. He sent 500 white carnations to the Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia to share with the mothers. Then, it became a tradition to give flowers on Mother's Day as a sign of gratitude for all her love and care.
White carnation is preferred because it is considered to characterize some of the virtues of motherhood, purity, faith, love and charity. They also symbolize memory and are used to honour mothers who are no longer with us. Pink carnations represent the endless love and gratitude of a mother.
Carnation is considered one of the oldest flowers grown and has a rich history. If you want to send flowers for Mother's Day, then a bouquet of fresh beautiful carnations is the perfect gift for your mother.
Regardless of your budget, rest assured that your mom will love any gift you choose to give her as it will be chosen with care and love especially for her. Even if your mother claims to have everything, you need to find the perfect gift that will bring a smile of happiness to her face on Mother's Day.

Wonderful gifts to celebrate Mother’s Day

Best gift ideas for Mother’s Day 

<a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/blog/post/giorti-miteras-dora">Mother's Day</a> is a celebration that honours the mother within the family, motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, usually in March or May.
Ancient traditions
Thousands of years ago there were many traditional celebrations around the world for mothers and motherhood.
The ancient Greeks and Romans dedicated many feasts to the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, respectively. In England in the 16th century there was Mother's Day, during which children would worship in their family church (also known as the "mother" church) on the fourth Sunday of Lent. This celebration also provided a good excuse for a family reunion - usually for the daughters of the family, where they worked as domestic helpers - to be able to see their mothers. In some countries, Mother's Day celebration is still synonymous with these older traditions.
Julia Ward Howe
There is an anti-war story behind Mother's Day. In the 1870s, the poet and writer Julia Ward Howe wrote “The Declaration of Mother's Day”. For her and the anti-war activists who agreed with her position - including Anna Jarvis's mother, the idea of Mother's Day should spread unity around the world after so many post-civil war traumas in America and France-Prussian war in Europe.
Howe invited women to gather once a year in churches or community halls, to listen to sermons, present essays, singing hymns, or pray if they wished - all in the name of promoting peace.
Anna Jarvis
In recent years Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis erected a memorial service for her mother at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. After the death of her mother in 1905, Anna Jarvis came up with the idea of creating Mother's Day as a way of honouring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.
The original idea to start Anna Jarvis' Mother's Day was to create a community service day to help mothers in need. She was inspired in part by the tragedies of her own mother who gave birth to 13 children, but only four of them lived to adulthood. Their purpose was to educate women about proper hygiene and to give their children more chances to stay healthy.
Anna Jarvis was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War and set up her mother's work clubs to address public health issues. Together with Julia Ward Howe, they called for the creation of a Mother's Day dedicated to peace. Anna Jarvis wanted to dedicate a day to honouring all mothers because she believed that mother is "the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world."
In 1908, the US Congress rejected a proposal to make Mother's Day an official holiday. However, due to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, in 1914, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day, held on the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honour mothers.
While Jarvis initially worked with the flower industry to promote her Mother's Day profile, she was later disappointed with the commercialization of the holiday. She began to believe that companies had misinterpreted and exploited the idea of Mother's Day and that the emphasis of the celebration was on emotion, not profit. She argued that people should appreciate and honour their mothers with handwritten letters expressing their love and gratitude, instead of buying gifts and prefabricated cards.
Jarvis eventually launched an open campaign against florists and patisseries and urged people to stop <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/flowers.html">buying flowers</a>, cards and sweets for Mother's Day. It was opposed to organizations that used the occasion as a way to raise funds for charity.
She launched countless lawsuits against groups that used the name "Mother's Day", eventually spending most of her personal wealth on legal fees. Her perseverance never diminished and she devoted the rest of her life and savings to fighting against the commercialization of the Day. She spent some of her last years in a sanatorium and died, without a penny, in 1948.
20th century
Following in the footsteps of Anna Jarvis, some women in the second half of the 20th century used Mother's Day to draw attention to important causes. For example, Codetta Scott King organized a march in 1968 to fight for disadvantaged women and children, and in the 1970s, women's groups used the day to discuss equal rights and access to child care.
Mother's Day around the world
Whatever date Mother's Day is celebrated around the world, the essence is the same everywhere. It is the day when the child will express respect and gratitude to their mother, thanking her for their birth and the best care and upbringing.
Find below the different ways in which this day is celebrated in different countries of the world.&nbsp;
United Kingdom
It is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, and has its roots in the earlier years in which separated families would return to their original church. Today the celebration is based on religion while traditionally the girls bake a fruit cake that they will give to their mothers.
France
In 1920, the French government began awarding medals to mothers of large families who helped rebuild the population after so many lives were lost in World War I. After World War II, the government declared the last Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
Spain
Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May in Spain and like all over the world, this day is celebrated all over the country to honour all mothers. Mothers for this special day receive gifts such as <a href="https://anthemionflowers.com/attica_en/dora/sokolatakia.html">chocolates</a>, flowers, cards, jewellery and clothes. Some families dine in a restaurant while others stay in and celebrate the day with traditional, homemade meals.
Canada
Mother's Day along with Christmas and Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days of the year in Canada. Greeting cards, flowers and sweets are the most popular gifts to express their love to their mother. Going out to a restaurant, cinema or for a picnic is a way to wish their beloved mother well.
Mexico
Mother's Day in Mexico is celebrated on May 10. It is an extremely popular occasion celebrated throughout the country, with special events funded by schools, churches, and political groups. The family tradition is for sons and daughters to come to their mother's house on the eve of Mother's Day (May 9). Mother's Day celebrations, handmade gifts, flowers, cards and children's school presentations are a key element of the festive process.
Similar celebrations are common all over the world, including Argentina (2nd Sunday in October), Lebanon (1st Sunday in spring), Norway (2nd Sunday in February), South Africa (1st Sunday in May), Sweden (last Sunday in May) and Serbia (two weeks before Christmas).
India
In India, Hindus celebrate a ten-day festival in October in honour of their Divine Mother, Darga, and a westernized version of Mother's Day is officially observed on May 10.
Japan
After World War II, a version of Mother's Day became popular as a way of consoling mothers who had lost their sons in the war. You will see carnations on display during the March holidays, as they symbolize the sweetness and resilience of motherhood in Japanese culture. In the tradition, the children gave a red carnation to a mother whose child was alive and a white one if their child had died.&nbsp;
In the United States, Mother's Day continues to be celebrated on the second Sunday in May with Americans giving gifts and flowers to their mother along with their wishes.
Other countries celebrating Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Japan, Greece and Turkey.
Mother's Day is an annual holiday in countries such as Costa Rica (August 15, the same day as the Assumption Day), Georgia (March 3), Samoa (second Monday in May) and Thailand (12 August) (Birthday of their queen).
While dates and holidays vary, Mother's Day traditionally includes sending gifts such as flowers, cards, jewellery and other gifts. Regardless of the distance, you can still let your mom know you are thinking about her with a beautiful gift from our e-shop that will delight her.

Mother's Day is a celebration that honours the mother within the family, motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in society.

International Women’s Day has been observed since the early 1900s. In 1910, in Copenhagen, it was proposed that there should be a celebration on the same day every year in every country. International Women’s Day began to be honored in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland, followed by Russia, and spread throughout the world.
Women all over the world are demanding change once again, and with the World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report finding that gender equality is over 200 years away, it is important that IWD continue to be observed.
Gloria Steinem once said: “The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights”.
Events are held all around the world for International Women’s Day.&nbsp;
A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, and government activities and networking events through to local women’s craft markets, theatrical performances, fashion parades and more. The day is about coming together with friends, family and co-workers to celebrate the achievements of the strong women that put themselves forward to rally for change, to celebrate how far we have come as a society and how close we are to reaching the ultimate goal!

Shopping frenzy is huge and like that of Valentine's Day in the USA.
On March 8, Italian women traditionally receive a yellow mimosa from men and most often free entry to a museum or a visit to various monuments of culture.
Women’s day is also popular and celebrated in Turkey. There, women visit various social events or restaurants where women's parties are organized without the presence of men.

Celebrating International Women's Day

Those who are truly in love may celebrate every day, but there is also a day of the year that they officially celebrate love. It's Valentine's Day on February 14th. It is the day that every (or almost every) man or woman will express their love by offering a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates or more romantic gifts.&nbsp;
History of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the world on February 14th. There are various stories behind why we celebrate Valentine’s day, the one that is most popular is the following one. The story dates back to 3rd century. It was the time when Romans were converting to Christianity. However, the emperor, Claudius II was a non-christian and had very strict rules for the Roman Christians, one of which was that they can’t marry. He believed that this way, the Roman soldiers will remain devoted to their duty towards Rome.
Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest was completely against it. He started to get these soldiers married in secret ceremonies. He was caught and jailed, but by then he earned a reputation for being a saviour of love. It is said that in jail, he fell in love with the jailer’s blind daughter. He cured her blindness and just before getting executed, he wrote a love message and signed it as ‘from your Valentine’.&nbsp;
This happened on February 14th of the year 270. Two hundred years later, the pope of the Roman Catholic Church proclaimed this day as the Saint Valentine’s day. This is widely assumed as the main reason for celebrating the valentine’s day.
Valentine's day isn't just for people in romantic relationship. It is meant to celebrate all relationships with friends and family. Any special person in your life would treasure a gift for Valentine's day.
