Personalised Mother’s Day gift ideas

Non-personalised gift reaction: You didn’t need to! It’s beautiful!
Personalised gift reaction: *moved silence, wipes away tear*

Today’s hot hint: aim for the second one.

If you’re looking for a sure-fire, properly touching Mother’s Day present this year (and if not – why not?), then your answer is all in a name. Add yours and your mum’s – ‘Mum’ is indeed a legitimate option – with touches of what makes her distinctly her, and you’ve got a hit gift on your hands.

Personalisation elevates an already beautiful item to memento-status – something extra meaningful that will hit her in the heart (and the tear ducts) every time she looks at it. It’s a small touch that speaks volumes. That shows the extra effort you’ve made (without it really being much effort at all).

After the years our mums have spent reassuring us that we’re all special little snowflakes, it’s time to say, once and for all, “You’re a one-off, and I couldn’t love you more”.

So choose something you know she’ll love – to wear, or to have around her home – and speak from the heart. You’ll know you’ve done the right thing when you see her reaction. And it sure beats our plan B – a signed letter that simply says:

I SINCERELY APOLOGISE FOR EVERYTHING.

You can save that for her card.
