Personalised Mother’s Day presents

One-off gift ideas for one-off mums

May 8th. The day we all scrabble to find gifts that say, ‘thank you for giving me life’ and fall hilariously short. Because nothing can come close to acknowledging that feat, or dedicating at least 18 years to instilling values and wisdom that (hopefully) shape us into half-decent human beings.

But – collective clearing of consciences – mums don’t do it for the thanks (or the presents). So with that in mind, the Mothers Day gifts most likely to floor them are the ones rich in thought, meaning and memories that mums can tear up over all year (and beyond).

Which all really points to one word: personalised.

There’s the little touch that will bring a smile to her breakfast or dessert…

The hand-drawn portrait capturing her much-loved pooch for all posterity…

The beautiful memento she can always keep close, or save for extra special occasions…

And the sweetest of messages that can lift an otherwise uninspiring day of errands.

Because one-off mums deserve one-off gifts that don’t have to cost the earth – but show that she has your time, she’s in your thoughts, and that she means the world to you.
