Mother's Day Photo Gifts

Treat your mom to an engraved frame for Mother's Day.

Surprise your mom with a sentimental photo gift for Mother's Day. Whether you make the gift or design it yourself, it will carry a lot of meaning. Create a gift using a favorite childhood or present-day photo of you and your mother together. Photo gift ideas range from high-tech frames to handmade treasures.

Photo-Enhanced Mug

If your mom is a coffee or hot cocoa lover, surprise her with a photo-enhanced mug for Mother's Day. Have a ceramic mug professionally printed with a favorite photo, along with a "Happy Mother's Day" or "I love you, Mom" message. You can also include a special quote or saying on the back of the mug. Fill the mug with an individual gourmet coffee or hot cocoa packet, along with a chocolate-dipped spoon, prior to presenting the gift.

Digital Frame

For a mom who appreciates the latest gadgets, choose a sleek digital photo frame. The recipient can display the high-tech frame on her work desk, or anywhere in her home. Digital frames present a collection of favorite photos in a slide show format. The frames can hold different amounts of images at one time, depending on their storage capacities. Upload a collection of cherished family photos into the frame before giving it to your mom on Mother's Day.

Engraved Frame

You can customize a basic photo frame as a meaningful Mother's Day gift. Choose a frame material, such as silver or gold-tone metal, or dark or light wood, depending on your mom's preferences. Have the frame engraved with a "Happy Mother's Day" message, along with the year. If you have space, include a small quote or poem about mothers. Fill the frame with an image of you and your mom as a special touch.

Handmade Frame

Help a child make a handmade frame for her mom as a Mother's Day gift. Buy an unfinished wood frame and enhance it with craft items. If the child's mother is an ocean lover, attach small seashells or vibrant pieces of sea glass around the perimeter of the frame using a hot glue gun. You can also use flat-backed glass beads or plastic buttons, or strips of fabric or ribbon, to decorate the frame. Kids can use alphabet-shaped stencils and acrylic paint to write "Happy Mother's Day" on the frame, as another option. Insert the child's picture into the frame to complete the gift.
