Ideas to suit the mum she is
Think about how she spends her days in winter, not about the "gifts for her" aisle.
- She's always cold: the sweatshirt, $45.00. Adult sizes S to 2XL. A photo of her grandchildren on something she'll pull on in the evening to keep warm.
- Her fridge is covered in photos: the 2027 calendar, in A4, also available in A3 (29.7 × 42 cm). Fourteen pages, ring-bound, French public holidays marked, and a different photo for each month if you like.
- She's practical: the mug, $23.00. 325 ml ceramic, dishwasher and microwave safe. For her morning tea.
- She loves her home: the A4 wooden frame, $55.00, in black and ready to hang, or the canvas, $35.00, for a proper picture-on-the-wall look.
- She never misses the market: the tote bag, $35.00. Her family goes everywhere with her.
Which photo to choose for your mum
A mum doesn't look at a photo the way anyone else does: she sees a whole period of her life. Three ideas that never miss:
- You as a child, with her: the album photo where she's the age you are now. Scan it, or photograph it flat, near a window. The Polaroid template gives it the feel of a keepsake.
- Her grandchildren: this year's photo, all of them together. The family template (« Famille » in the studio) shows it off, and the calendar lets you give each grandchild a month.
- Then and now: recreate this year the photo you took twenty years ago, in the same place. One for the calendar cover, the other for one of the months.
- Her, when she was young: a photo of her before you came along, one she may have forgotten. On a frame rather than on clothing.
An old photo that's a bit small? The Make the photo sharper (AI) button helps. A busy background? The free Remove background (AI) button cuts out the people. For sizes and formats, see photo resolution for printing.
What to write for her
On a gift for your mum, the simplest wording is often the truest.
- A year: "Mum since 1992", with the year the eldest was born.
- The names of her children or grandchildren, under the family photo.
- The pet name she used to call you, or the one you call her.
- A low-key Christmas template: Gift tag (« Étiquette » in the studio), with "For you", or the Christmas template (« Joyeux Noël » in the studio) on the mug, if the gift is meant for December.
Don't default to "World's Best Mum": she already has it on a mug. The studio's text ideas by occasion give you more to go on.
Mistakes to avoid
- The photo she doesn't like herself in. Pick one she has framed or shared herself.
- A 2027 calendar that arrives in January: order before Thursday 10 December in Europe, earlier elsewhere. The dates are in when to order a personalised Christmas gift.
- Guessing the sweatshirt size: check the label on one of her jumpers and compare it with the size guide. If in doubt, the calendar and the mug don't come in sizes.
- The same gift as Dad's: if your parents live together, plan their gifts together. See a Christmas gift for your dad and a Christmas gift for your parents.
