What’s better than a personalized gift to please Mom this Mother’s Day? Here are four ideas for personalized photo gifts.

Gift idea 1: A practical object featuring mom’s favourite photo

A classic mug is always a sure bet, so is a latte mug that Mom will use every day. For active mothers, a personalized sports bottle makes a great gift. Pick a classic family portrait or a snapshot that will remind her of great times spent with family. You can use a black and white photo for elegant results.

Another great idea is a photo notebook! She can proudly display it at the office, or keep it in the kitchen to take notes. The nice photo printed on the side of the pad is sure to make her happy.

A desktop calendar, wall calendar or agenda featuring a carefully chosen snapshot are other options that will undoubtedly please Mom.

Gift idea 2: a magnificent photobook

We all take thousands of photos every year but we rarely take the time to appreciate them later on. Mom will love leafing through a hardcover or softcover photobook of images you’ve carefully chosen. It’s so simple. Pick a theme and give it a go: a collection of family photos, stunning landscapes from her travels, or even a photo retrospective of the last year.

Gift idea 3: a personalized case for her mobile device

Here are gifts she won’t expect:

• A protective case for her smartphone, with the photo of a happy or memorable moment of her life.
• A cushion or blanket featuring one of her favorite images to accompany her cocooning moments at home.
