Already during the week before Mother’s Day lots of companies invite to a lunch or dinner celebrating the moms. Kindergarten and schools treat moms as well with an invitation, where the kids present shows and little hand-made gifts showing their moms their love and appreciation.

There are concerts, shows and performances throughout Peru to honor mothers. Shops have special Mother’s Day discounts encouraging Peruvians to make this day extra special by purchasing a great present and spend more than most can afford.
