What it is
Mother's Day in Russia is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, which in 2026 is 29 November. It was introduced in the late 1990s as a separate national day, and it is not tied to the date of the same holiday in the US or UK.
For businesses it is a warm family day: people look for gifts, flowers, a pampering session or a shared activity with their mum, and brands that speak sincerely and avoid cliches do best.
Symbols: Flowers, a handwritten card, a family photo, a cup of tea together
Emoji: 💐 ❤️ 👩👧 🎁 ☕ 🌷
Colours: Soft pink, warm beige, sage green
Hashtags: #MothersDay #MothersDayRussia #GiftForMum #FamilyTime #MumLove
What to aim for
- Sales: help people choose a gift or a visit for their mum quickly
- Engagement: invite followers to share a memory or a photo with their mother
- Trust: show the real mothers in your team and speak warmly, not commercially

On 29 November we celebrate Mother's Day, and we would like to give mums a calm hour in the chair. Book a visit together with your daughter or son, or give a gift certificate for a manicure, a massage or a hair treatment. Tell us in the comments the first thing you want to say to your mum, and we will help you put it into a card.
Mother's Day is on 29 November, and we collected three gift directions for every budget: something cosy for home, something for tea and something personal with a handwritten note. Open the catalogue from the menu button and tell us in a message about your mum’s taste, and we will suggest several options. Order early so delivery arrives in time.
Today we say thank you to the working mothers on our team, who handle deadlines, school calendars and clients with a calm we all learn from. We are glad to have flexible hours and open conversations about balance. If you are a manager, ask your team what support would help them most this month and listen to the answer.
Meme and trend formats that fit
- What mums say vs what they mean. Two panels with a typical mum phrase and its real meaning, which is always love. Keep it warm and make sure the joke is about shared family situations.
- Then and now photo. A side-by-side of a childhood photo and a current one with the same mum, shared by the team with permission. Add one sincere line.
What to avoid
- Remember that not everyone has a mother close by or alive; keep the tone inclusive and avoid pressure to buy
- Do not use stereotypes about what mums must like or do
- Do not invent discounts or deadlines for emotional pressure
When to post
- Prepare the gift guide in the first half of November so delivery cut-offs are clear
- Publish the main post on the morning of Sunday 29 November and a reminder story on Saturday
- On Monday, thank those who shared photos and reshare the best stories
What to check afterwards
- Saves and shares of the gift guide
- Comments with personal stories, which show the emotional connection
- Orders, gift certificates or bookings for mums from the post links
