In the U.S., Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. This year, that's May 11, 2025.

As part of an upcoming story about gift ideas for the holiday, we want to hear about the most memorable Mother's Day gift you've ever received — or given.

Perhaps you received a bouquet of lovely flowers or a bouquet of dead ones. Maybe some yummy chocolates or some melted ones. Maybe you got a surprise guest or an uninvited one.

Tell us your Mother's Day gift story by filling out the form below. The deadline is April 27, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. EDT. A producer may reach out to you in the coming days.

This form was closed on April 27, 2025.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
