9 ideas for Mother’s Day gifts

Mother’s Day gifts are a chance to celebrate the incredible people we call Mum. This year, skip the usual flowers or candles and surprise her with a gift like no other. A personalised Mother’s Day gift that celebrates the best moments you’ve shared – a thoughtful keepsake made just for her.

Whether you’re shopping for your mum, grandma, or someone who’s been like a mum to you, get inspired by our nine thoughtful Mother’s Day gift ideas.

1. A mosaic of memories

Mosaic wall art is a thoughtful way to bring all your favourite moments together in one place. With space for up to 81 photos, it’s perfect for capturing everything from family holidays and celebrations to those quiet, everyday memories that mean so much.

This personalised collage turns a collection of photos into a beautiful work of art that your mum can enjoy every day. Head to our mosaic wall art guide for tips and inspiration.

2. Her new favourite mug

A personalised photo mug is the perfect Mother’s Day gift idea. Add a family snapshot, a silly moment that always makes her smile or even a photo of her furry BFF. It’s a small gift with a big impact – something she’ll reach for every morning.

Want to make it even more special? Create a matching pair of mugs for you and Mum so you can feel connected no matter where you are. Pair it with her favourite sweet treat, coffee, or tea for a lovely extra touch she’ll love.

3. Wall art to melt her heart

For a mother like no other, custom canvas wall art is a great way to bring her favourite moments to life. Choose a family photo that makes her smile, a candid shot from a special day, or even a meaningful place you’ve visited together.

Consider the space it’s for: a large canvas can make a statement in her living room, while a series of smaller canvases works beautifully in a cosy hallway or bedroom. You could even create a gallery wall with different photos that tell a story. Visit our wall art inspiration page for tips and ideas to help you get started.

4. Travel photo book

For a mum who loves exploring, a travel photo book is the perfect way to celebrate her sense of adventure. Fill it with snapshots from family holidays, dream trips she’s ticked off her list, or quiet moments spent soaking up new places.

Go the extra mile with your photo book and add captions or notes sharing the story behind each photo – like when she braved the waves on holiday or the hidden gem she discovered on a weekend getaway. Explore our travel photo book gallery for tips to create the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

5. Retro prints

If your mum enjoys getting creative, retro prints are a fun and versatile gift she’ll love. These instant-camera-style photos bring a nostalgic vibe to any space and can be used in so many ways.

She might hang them with fairy lights in her home office, frame a few favourites, or craft a scrapbook filled with moments that matter most. Add a personal touch by customising the prints with colourful designs or captions that make them stand out.

6. Bring the outdoors to life

For a mum who loves her outdoor spaces, aluminium wall art is a Mother’s Day gift she can enjoy all year round. Its weatherproof, durable design makes it ideal for adding a personal touch to her garden, balcony, or patio.

Choose a photo that brings her joy – maybe a peaceful beach, a family holiday, or a favourite view from a local spot. It’s a simple and thoughtful way to make her outdoor sanctuary feel even more special and bring a smile to her face every time she steps outside.

7. A calendar made just for mum

Mums are the ultimate organisers, and a personalised calendar is the perfect way to make her everyday planning more special. Fill it with photos from family holidays, celebrations, or simple moments that mean the most to her – one for each month of the year.

Add a personal touch by including important dates, like birthdays, anniversaries, or family get-togethers, to help her stay on top of everything. And because you can start the calendar from any month, it’s a great gift for Mother’s Day.

8. A Mother’s Day gift voucher

Not sure which photo gift she’d love most? A Photobox gift voucher gives her the freedom to create something that’s truly her own. Whether she designs a photo book filled with family memories, a piece of wall art for her home, or a set of retro prints, the possibilities are endless.

It’s a simple way to let her creativity shine and make something she’ll love. Plus, you can even plan a day together to create it, turning the gift into a shared experience she’ll always remember.

9. A cushion full of love

A personalised photo cushion is the kind of gift that feels instantly special. Add a family photo that makes her smile, a snap of the grandkids, or even a picture of her furry best friend. It’s a simple, cosy way to remind her of the people and moments she loves most.

Want to take it up a notch? Create a collage cushion with a mix of photos that tell a story. Think holidays, milestones, or everyday moments that make her laugh. It’s a thoughtful way to bring a little extra love into her home, no matter how near or far you are.
