Isn’t it funny how the year races by? One minute, you’re celebrating the start of the Olympic year with a New Year party at your favourite pub or bar and the next it’s March 18th 2012. The significance? Mother’s Day.

As much as we love our mothers, it’s hard to remember Mother’s Day each year. We have so many national days, celebrations and special occasions that unless we walk past a card shop each and every day we’re sure to forget at least one special date. If you’ve not put Mother’s Day into your 2012 budget, don’t despair! We’ve got Mother’s Day gifts with next-day delivery giving you all the time you need.

Add a bit of sparkle to Mother’s Day 2012 with our engraved, personalised wine glasses available with a choice of fonts. Your mum is sure to appreciate a practical gift she can use on those warm summer evenings sitting on the patio, and on those chilly winter nights by the fire. Our wine glasses are gifts that keep on giving, and your mother’s sure to appreciate a personalised gift up to sixty characters in length. A fine wine glass is as important as a fine wine, and ours come in a beautiful satin-lined gift box and can include an image for an additional fee.

Of course, your mum might not be a drinker. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean she has to miss out on a beautiful glass gift that can be used regularly or placed on display to decorate her home. We’ve got gorgeous vases complete with an engraved heart and genuine Swarovski crystals to let her know that she’s the most important woman in the world, and our gifts include space for your personal message, a quote or lyrics from her favourite song. Just add flowers for a present that’ll brighten her home, and her day.

Going back to drink, we can’t help but be excited about our stunning engraved brandy glasses for a mum who likes something a little stronger. They combine the best of the two gifts above with Swarovski crystals and space for her tipple and they can, like our other glasses, be engraved with a logo or image.

If you’re ready to buy any of our engraved glass Mother’s Day gifts, be sure to think of the right message. You’ll want them to say something straight from your heart. If you can’t think of the perfect message for your mum, look below for meaningful quotes from some singers and musicians that all mums love! Here are our perfect lyrics for personalised, engraved glasses:

• Ronan Keating – “She has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully”
• Westlife – “You’ll find it in the deepest friendship”
• Phil Collins – “This bond between us can’t be broken”
• Bette Midler – “You are the wind beneath my wings”
• Il Divo – “Thank you for who I am. Thank you for all the things I’m not “

Our personalised Mother’s Day gifts are available with next-day delivery, ensuring they’ll be at the door in time for Mother’s Day. Send them ready-wrapped straight to your mum, or get them sent to your house with a few days to spare, and deliver the gift yourself.

This year, Mother’s Day falls on March 18th. It’s a day to celebrate the women in your life who’ve offered support and guidance, and been there for you through the years. Mother’s Day isn’t restricted to your biological mother – it’s a chance to celebrate aunts and grandmothers who took you in, it’s an opportunity to show your female guardians your appreciation and if you’re fostered or adopted it’s the perfect day to say a big thank you to the women who treated you as their own and took on that all-important role. Celebrate stepmothers, big sisters and godmothers – it’s Mothering Sunday, and it’s your chance to honour those who helped you become the person you are today.

The frame above reflects our relationships with our mothers and those who took on the role of ‘mother’ perfectly with a simple statement that shows a strong bond and a life-long friendship. Take it as it is, or choose your own message up to sixty characters in length for a beautiful personalised present she’s sure to treasure forever. There are no gifts better for showing an unbreakable bond than photo gifts complete with a picture of you and the person you’re giving the present to, which is why our personalised photo frames are an ideal choice for Mother’s Day.

A wooden photo frame looks elegant in any home, modern or traditional, but for a look of class you won’t find better than engraved high-quality silver frame like the one pictured below. They’re great as a Mother’s Day gift from a baby son or daughter, and just as perfect if you’re well into adulthood yourself. They can be filled with a picture of you and your mum together, or you can give the gift as an empty engraved frame so she can pick a picture herself.

Generic Mother’s Day presents come from the heart, but personalised or engraved presents are often even more wonderful for the person receiving them. They have a unique touch that makes them one-of-a-kind, and the right message can turn a beautiful gift into a truly treasured possession. Our gifts at Keep It Personal are exactly the kind of thing your mother will love, and our photo gifts are particularly great because they offer one further level of personalisation. You can pick a photograph from any time in your shared past, or treat your mum to a memorable experience by giving one of our personalised frames alongside a voucher for a professional photo shoot. Our gifts are the solid, material item given on Mother’s Day 2012, and you’ll get to spend an unforgettable day with your mother as you attend a shoot together for the perfect picture to place inside your frame of choice.

Of course, as beautiful as our photo frames are, they’re not particularly portable. If you’re looking for a gift your mum can carry with her wherever she goes, choose one of our beautiful engraved and personalised heart-shaped photo keyrings. With space for a message up to fifty characters in length they give you enough room to express your love on the outside, with space for your favourite picture inside. They’re an ideal present from an individual or from a few children giving their gift together, and since they hold two small photographs they make a wonderful personalised Mother’s Day present from twins and siblings.

Memories that last are what Mother’s Day is all about, and with our gifts you can celebrate the occasion the perfect way in 2012. Pick out a present and have us wrap it and deliver it in time for 18th March, complete with next-day delivery if you’re on a tight schedule. Gifts that come from the heart don’t require months of preparation – just the right message and that unique Keep It Personal touch.

It doesn’t matter that you’ve known your mother longer than you’ve known anyone else, or that the bond between a mother and child is said to be the strongest bond in existence – it never gets any easier to pick out a present for her birthday, for Christmas or for Mother’s Day. This year, Mother’s Day falls on 18th March, and if you’ve not found the perfect present yet, there’s still hope! Look below for gifts for Mum that can be personalised to suit her unique, and hard-to-buy-for, personality.

Our engraved antique jewellery boxes are a great gift for the mum with everything. You can’t fail to impress with their elegance, and the price is sure to impress your partner or bank manager – whoever is more likely to analyse your spending. At under £25, these high-quality jewellery boxes can be engraved with a message up to fifty characters in length, and can be wrapped prior to delivery for that completely professional touch. They’re a great gift if your mum wants gifts that are beautiful, stylish and look like you’ve spent a fortune, and if you just want something within your price range they’re ideal with fast delivery including next-day options for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift purchase.

As the flowers bloom in spring, you’ll find no better time to buy your mum a beautiful bouquet. They’re great gifts for Mother’s Day, but they can seem a little generic. It’s not difficult to find flowers at your local supermarket or petrol station, and it can seem like they’re a present given from someone that hasn’t put in much thought. Why give your mum a bouquet of flowers still in their cellophane wrapping when you can opt for the stunning sparkle of genuine Swarovski crystals set into a perfect glass vase, complete with a unique message of love? A delicate heart shape and space for personalisation make this an ideal gift for a mum that values all things beautiful, and the vase will look wonderful above the fireplace or on her dressing table for bouquet after bouquet – a gift that lasts for many years, but will always look new when you buy her flowers in future.

Of course, some mums don’t like flowers. Some see jewellery as an inconvenience rather than a wonderful accessory, and some want a present that’s practical, not pretty. Fortunately, we’ve got a gift that’s ideal for almost every mum – a practical present she can use night after night – our engraved wine glasses made by Dartington Crystal. All of our gifts are produced to very high standards, but our engraved wine glasses come with the Dartington name as a guarantee of quality. They can be engraved with a quote, a unique message of love or simply with the word ‘Mum’, and we deliver them in a satin-lined presentation box so they can be stored safely if your mum prefers only to use hers on very special occasions. The glass pictured above is designed to really emphasise the flavour of white wines, though if your mum prefers red we’ve got an engraved red wine glass, too.

Be sure to take time to think of a personal message that lets your mum know just how much you care. Our presents are unique Mother’s Day gifts with sentimental value, and your mother deserves the best.

No bond in this world is stronger than the bond between a mother and her child. There’s a quote by Elizabeth Stone that reflects this perfectly:

“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body”.

One day there’s a maternal instinct, and the next the mother’s life becomes dedicated to her son or daughter – an ever-lasting commitment and a relationship that lasts a lifetime. Once a year, there’s a beautiful spring Sunday dedicated to celebrating the loved shared between a mother and her child, and on that day it’s usually up to the other parent or Mum’s best friend to find the perfect gift to be given from a baby or child to their mother. On those occasions, turn to Keep It Personal for ideal Mother’s Day gifts from children.

Our personalised  jewellery boxes are beautiful and elegant, like the love between a child and their mother. They’re a perfect present for children of any age to give to their mum, and they include space for a unique message of up to fifty characters. When you’re buying a gift on behalf of a child, ask them to choose their own message if they’re old enough. If they’re not, the child’s name along with a simple ‘I Love You’ can have a wonderful lasting effect, as can any of a number of quotes about motherhood.

Gifts with that elegant antique touch are sure to be appreciated, but if you need a Mother’s Day gift from a son or daughter for a woman that’s more interested in modern style, you’ll want a present that reflects her beauty and brightens her home. Pictured above, our engraved vases are a fantastic present from a boy or girl to their mum, coming complete with genuine Swarovski crystals and space for a personalised message of up to seventy characters in length. They’re a wonderful present given empty to put on display, but they offer the opportunity for a young son or daughter to pick out their own present, too. Buy one of our glamorous engraved vases, then take a toddler or young child to your local florist. They can pick out their own flowers and present them in the vase for a gift that comes straight from a little one’s heart.

The perfect present for a new mum or a mum that’s been in the role for years, our engraved silver photo frames are another choice for a beloved parent. They can include a picture of a cute child looking their best, or can contain a picture of mum and her son or daughter together. If you’re buying one, be sure to choose the perfect message for a present she’s sure to want to put on display, and have the great photographs ready before she picks one herself that’s sure to cause embarrassment for all involved. Our engraved silver photograph frames are beautiful presents for any mantelpiece, office or display cabinet, and can be treasured forever as a gift from a child to mum.

However old a child is, they’re sure to want to be a part of Mother’s Day with the chance to help choose the ideal gift. Let them pick their own message, or buy a gift with space for a photo of baby that a mum is guaranteed to treasure. Here at Keep It Personal we know that little hands aren’t great with scissors and sticky tape, so we can even wrap presents in advance.

Perhaps you are looking for a gift for a new mum who has a recent arrival of a newborn baby boy or girl in the family?

These are the first stages of a child’s life within the first 12 months and moments which you will want to remember forever.

This is an ideal gift for mothers day to celebrate the arrival of the baby. To make this gift extra special make sure the album has a few pictures of mummy and baby, particularly the front cover of the album, this is sure to bring an extra smile and likely a few tears of joy!
