"In May, do as you please!"... or almost! Don't forget our beloved mothers' day and offer her what SHE wants!

By the way, do you know the origin of this tradition?

No, it was not Marshal Pétain who initiated it. He did indeed formalize Mother's Day, but with the sole aim of repopulating France during the war and drawing attention to the major role of women in the home...!

So we're far from the idea of celebrating mothers!

Mother's Day was already celebrated by the Greeks in honor of the goddess Rhea, who had saved her son Zeus from the clutches of his own father.

However, the "modern" version of Mother's Day comes to us from the United States where in 1907, a woman (of course!), Anne Jarvis, after the premature death of her mother, asked the authorities to establish a ceremony (which would later become an official national holiday) in honor of all mothers in the world! Unable to attend, she sent 500 white carnations; this was the first time this event was associated with flowers.

Well, let's go back to France and the appearance of gifts. The pasta necklace that delighted all mothers dates back to Pétain since he made Mother's Day a family holiday taken care of by children supervised by school teachers!

Then, in the 60s, offering a salad spinner or an iron was synonymous with "women's liberation" (a movement exploited by a famous household appliance brand)!

Today, Mother's Day is finally a true declaration of love to our dear mother.

Offer her the best of the best: gifts made with love to pamper herself and take care of herself.

At Les Petits Prödiges, we have created the perfect gift set for you!

Our three multi-purpose balms Coconut, Lemon and Scentless, as well as a fig-scented candle offered, all 100% natural & made in France!

I'll give it to her ♡
