Creative, practical and affordable ideas to transform Mother's Day gifts
The value of handmade
Firstly, transforming a simple souvenir into a gift full of affection doesn't have to be complicated - or expensive. What I've learnt over time, producing authorial content and remixing good ideas, is that intention and care count - a lot. Here you'll find practical, easy and affordable Mother's Day tips for transforming your mother's gift with personalised and customised stationery. See DIY stationery projects for mums here.
That's why, with Mother's Day fast approaching, there's nothing better than getting your hands dirty (or with EVA, paper or hot glue) to create something unique and memorable.
Packaging that surprises - tips that make a difference. DIY stationery projects for mums
At first, many people still underestimate the power of good packaging. But I stand by it with conviction: the packaging can be more charming than the gift itself - mums get emotional.
What's more, have you ever thought about printing your own personalised box, made at home, just the way you like it? In my digital mould kit, for example, you'll find ready-made templates to download, print and assemble.
📌 Quick and practical tip:
Use thicker paper (A4 cardboard works very well), fold along the dotted lines and glue gently. In just a few minutes, you'll have a charming, sturdy box ready to hold anything from sweets to the most special souvenirs.
