1. Canvas prints from photos

The classic Mother’s Day gift idea, canvas prints from photos are a beautiful addition to any home. Are Mum’s walls looking a little bare? If so, she could definitely use a canvas print (or three).

For a more personal touch, you could create canvas prints from photos of the family. These are available as single prints in a range of sizes. Or, to create something a little more special, you could make a split print or a wall display for a larger area.

For a smaller wall area, use a single print or a small photo collage. Ask the whole family to contribute their photos so you have more to choose from. Then you can create canvas prints from photos that work well together.

If you’re creating a wall display, images from the same day or location work best together. Or, you could use similar colours to tie the photos together, or mix and match different images in black and white to create a more timeless, classic look. Versatile pieces are great as they can work well in any setting.

Don’t have many family photos? Try using a beautiful landscape image from a family holiday, like your family picnic spot, a beach, holiday house or a just a place that is meaningful to your family. Or if Mum has a soft spot for her furry little friends, you could always print images of the family pets.

If you’re low on family photos, or simply want something that looks great with your mum’s decor, choose from our range of millions of wall art images. We’ve got everything from landscapes, to retro art, to abstract prints.

Tip: Unless you really where your mum likes things placed, we recommend not going crazy banging nails into walls. Use hooks that can be easily removed, just in case she’s not in love with the placement of the prints!

2. Photo books

If your mum’s walls are already a little crowded, a personalised, hard-cover photo book is the perfect photo gift for Mum. It’s also a lovely way to show her you care without words. Photo books are especially perfect to showcase an occasion, such as a wedding or a family trip, and can be added to a coffee table collection or displayed propped open on the bookshelf, ready to flip through.

You can arrange your photos in the photo book exactly the way you want. And you can even change the specific layout of each page to ensure you arrange all your photos beautifully.

3. Photo mugs

For the more pragmatic mums, photo mugs are a fun way to showcase your beautiful images. This gift is guaranteed to make mum smile and will be used time and time again.

You could create a single image photo mug, or a collage with a number of different images.

When creating a collage, images in the same colour tones work best together. If you have a number of different shots from the same event like a party or beach trip, these will look great on the same mug. And if you have too many photos for just one mug, why not get her two?

Our themed “Mother” mug and “Best Mother Ever” themed mugs are a beautiful way to recognise and celebrate your mum. Or, for something a little quirkier, try a Magic Mug. They start off with a solid black thermal coating, but when heated by hot water, they reveal a personalised photo underneath. You could even create a mug with adorable photos of Mum’s favourite pet to cheer her up during those long days at work. And voila – you have the perfect gift for Mum!

4. Photo blocks

Photo blocks are a more modern take on the traditional, boring photo frame. Unlike photo frames, their frameless design means they are more versatile than ever and will look good in any room of the house.

They are also very affordable and come in a range of shapes and sizes. Choose from a number of finishes, such as matte, gloss, and black and white styles.

Typically speaking, a gloss finish looks nice in a living space that is more contemporary and polished. A matte finish might suit more classic or art-deco-style interiors better. Yet each style of photo block looks equally chic in any home.

5. Photo cushions

You can never have too many cushions. The latest trend taking the interiors world by storm, photo cushions are the perfect way to create truly unique, personalised interiors for Mum. She’ll love the fact that no one else will have the same design that she does.

 Mother's Day Gift Ideas - Photo Cushions

You can create anything from a single photo style on a cushion to a collage printed cushion, to a themed printed photo cushion, especially for Mum. The options for personalisation are endless.

When styling, try to mix and match with your mum’s existing colour scheme or home décor. For example, if she has a navy, blue and white colour theme, go with family photos at the beach or seascapes for your photo cushions.

If she has a more natural colour scheme, you might prefer to use images from the park. The green tones will work with the colours in your mum’s living room.
