A shirt for mom
Mom you rock signs designed by Lovely shirts for lovely people and Moms Are The Best Mother’s Day designed by Kasean Designs
Go for the good stuff. With a personalized T-shirt design, you’ll show your mom that you:
- have put thought into it
- took some time and effort
- made something yourself
It’s best to choose a design that matches her interests or personality and garnish the whole thing with a loving message or a special quote. The gift should be something that mom will love to wear after May 14thas well. And, of course, it’ll serve as a constant reminder of how much you love her.
-
Personalized posters
No drama lama and Icecreamlove designed by This is Jane Bond
Like personalized T-shirts, posters can reflect your mom’s personality and interests. Go for a topic she likes, a colorful collage or an inspiring quote. And if you want something extra special, use a design you created yourself. Important: think of where she’s gonna put it!
-
Compliments & memories in glass
Mom won’t get this every day! By far the most loving idea is the power of sincere compliments and wonderful memories. Find a large vessel or jar with a screw top and fill it with compliments, mom’s wise words, anecdotes, shared experiences, photos, illustrations, etc. Decorate it and you have the perfect Mother’s Day gift.
PS – pack a box of tissues, you’ll need it.
-
Illustrated postcards
It’s clear that a card should not be the only gift for Mother’s Day, but a friendly illustrated greeting – perhaps even with your own design – is a real eye-catcher. And when it ends up on the fridge or a cupboard door, it’s gonna remind her of you every day.

Wall art
There are plenty of reasons why your mom would want a new piece of wall art. If you’ve got kids of your own, for example, she’ll be a proud grandmother with those kiddo pictures framed for her. And yes, there’s a company called Kiddo’s that offers very straightforward frames for this occasion. Each new collector’s item can be assembled in seconds so it gets the attention it deserves.
