Mother's Day was first celebrated on 9 February 1919 and was initially organized by religious institutions. Later it has become a family day, and the mother is often treated to breakfast in bed, flowers and cake.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mother's Day in Norway|url=http://blogs.transparent.com/norwegian/mothers-day-in-norway/|access-date=26 May 2015|date=11 May 2010}}</ref>{{Better source needed|date=May 2015}}

It has gradually become a major commercial event, with special pastries, flowers and other presents offered by retailers. Day-cares and primary schools often encourage children to make cards and other gifts.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}}
