Personalized Gifts for Mom on Mother’s Day, Including Thoughtful Photo Mugs

I’ll start with some mugs because we can never have enough mugs 🙂 Mugs break, get relegated to holding pens and other odds and ends, bits and bobs, and so we need more mugs in our cupboards.

I’ll start with a more artsy design with a personalized name and the words “Mom Extraordinaire,” along with three photos and some flowers. I am especially proud of the purple flowers on the mug. I think they look really cute! Also, this mug allows you to share more than just one photo of you and your mother. Of course, some people don’t have many good photos handy, but if you love photography and have something like a series of takes from one photo shoot, then this design gives you the chance to use them. It also works if you want to share photos with you at various ages!

Then I also have some designs with “I/we love you more than words can say” because it’s a sentiment that doesn’t receive enough recognition on gifts for Mom. Also because many of us try to express our feelings for our mother on the occasion of her birthday or Mother’s Day and the text in most greeting cards falls flat.

I made some mugs for Second Moms as well because there are so many of them in the world and so few gifts that honor them. They can be foster moms, a special grandma, a godmother, or even a stranger that steps in to raise or mentor you as a child or young adult when your mother was not there for you.

Note that you can customize “Second Mom” to say “Grandma,” if you wish.

If you were lucky to have the kind of Mom I have, you may also appreciate the following card—which you can instantly download and use as a digital product as well!

It has a photo of wisteria flowers on the front. I love these flowers and they also happen to bloom around Mother’s Day.

I love that wisteria photo myself, but if you prefer something more artistic, here’s another design.

I also created some personalized photo pillows for Mother’s Day or Mom’s Birthday. Here’s one of them.

And here’s a more artistic design, with the watercolor painting I used on that card and a turquoise background I like (note that you can choose between five colors!). It lists Mom’s very special qualities. I am very fond of this pillow. I think it’s rather artsy and cute, and so very cheerful, if I may say so myself 🙂

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s post. If you found anything helpful, I’d appreciate a pin/share!

Happy Mother’s Day!

To a happier, healthier life,
