Personalised Gifts for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is all about showing you favourite lady how much you love and appreciate her. A generic gift of a box of chocolates or Mamma Mia on DVD just won’t cut it. It is time to make an effort. The best way to show how much you care is to buy (or create) a gift which is especially for her. Get something which reflects and celebrates her personality. Here are a few ideas:
Photo Album
In this day and age of countless photographs being taken every week it is a tragedy that hardly any of these images ever emerge from computer or smart phone hard drives. Reverse this trend by printing off the best images of your mum, the family and her friends and display them in a beautiful album.
Phone Case
If your mum is a smart phone addict (or just proud of the fact she can work her smart phone!), why not let her flaunt it with a personalised case? And if you have left it too late, websites such as Zippi offer next day delivery phone cases!
Favourite Book
Put in the detective work to find out about this special gift. Try and get intel on your mum’s favourite book as a child or even her best ever read and then buy a special version of that book. Websites such as The Folio Society specialise in beautifully presented and illustrated books.
Family Tree
There are two ways you can give your mum this gift. One would require you putting in the effort but is also likely to take quite a lot of time, the other is to let your mum do the research. Which you choose will depend on whether she would appreciate the findings from the projects or enjoy doing the research herself.
Bake a Cake
Put those baking skills that your mother taught you to the test and make her proud by making her favourite cake this 15th March.
Personalised Prints
Over & Over produce beautiful prints of all sorts of subject matter. You could get your mum’s favourite song lyrics nicely presented, world destinations she has visited or the aforementioned family tree.
Photo Montage
A montage of the best family photos can be an interesting creative project. Have a look on Pinterest for some inspiration on how to make a montage look quirky and different to the run of the mill framed pieces.
A Day Out
This does not necessarily have to happen on Mothering Sunday itself, but there is little your mum would enjoy more than spending a fun-filled day with you. Curate a day and night of her favourite activities and make it a Mother’s Day present to remember. Consider a spa day, the theatre, a shopping trip or just a lovely afternoon tea.
