This Mother’s Day, give your mother a gift that will actually last. While she may appreciate a scented candle or a gift card for her favorite restaurant, we’ve got five affordable printed gifts that are sure to remind her of fond memories and help her make new ones. Why settle for generic gifts when you can create meaningful, personalized presents for your mom this Mother’s Day?
Photo books
At Alexander’s we print thousands of photo books every month. Many customers like to dedicate their photo book to highlighting photos and memories from their last family vacation. Other families map out their family trees and preserve their genealogical information in hard or soft cover books. Whatever memories you want to capture, a printed book helps you preserve and share them.
Personalized stationery or greeting cards
Sure, you can pick up cheap blank stationery at the dollar store, but your mother deserves a nice set of personalized stationery to send thank you notes and cards to her relatives and friends. Flimsy paper doesn’t have the same meaningful effect that something like heavy cardstock with her name printed across the top offers. Texts, phones calls and emails are nice, but maybe your mom wants to send messages of gratitude or love with greeting cards and stationery. Let your mother select her favorite design or font and create a pack of 50 or more personalized cards. We promise you, this gift is not only personal, it’s practical.
Personalized journal
If your mother likes to take notes or write in a journal, why not create a small pack of journals just for her? Include her name on the front or inside cover, and create sections for notes, journal entries, grocery lists and to-do lists. This is an item you can easily design yourself, or ask for help to create the finished product. We regularly provide custom design services like this.
Large format photo enlargements
Remember those family photos your mom made you dedicate a whole Saturday to? Since you know she already cherishes the photos, why not have one printed for her living room or bedroom wall? Most commercial printers like Alexander’s offer large-format photo enlargements in any size, allowing you to customize the photo for any space in your home.
Calendars
Despite the shift towards digital communications and calendars, printed calendars are still a popular item. Having a calendar next to your desk to glance at quickly is often an advantage over having to navigate to through your schedule on a smartphone or tablet. For this reason, we suggest gifting your mother a personalized, printed calendar. Add photos of her family, or perhaps high-resolution images of her favorite travel destination.
If anyone deserves a thoughtful and personalized gift, it’s your mother. Don’t pass up an opportunity to give her something she’ll use and appreciate. If you’d like help with any of these items, please contact us. We’re happy to help.
