Personally, I am not a huge fan of personalized gifts.
Maybe because what always comes to mind are those glass and wood mounted clocks emblazoned with some motivational quote and meant to adorn the desk you probably never got that everyone seemed to give people when they graduated college in the 90s.
I guess that was before teleworking and cell phones and everything else that has made them obsolete still made them seem cool (they weren’t, not even then).
Stuff like ink pens that ruin shirts and calendars that never get hung and tote bags too ugly to carry and onesies your baby grows out of almost immediately upon birth.
And Mother’s Day gifts.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I have received some very special, personalized mom’s day gifts from The Dudes that I truly cherish. But, really, how many birthstone necklaces can a person wear?
One. Because you have one neck. And that is all you need.
Fortunately, Zazzle has more than just necklaces.
8 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas You Can Personalize on Zazzle
1. This custom coordinates necklace. You can personalize it with the place you bought your first home or had your babies or whatever important mom location you can think up. Like, um, the bathroom sink in the master bathroom where she hides her bag of KitKats. Or, whatever.
2. Polka dot initial wall print. With your last name. Or, buy one for each kid using their first initials.
3. Skinny cuff bracelets. One for each of your children.
4. Monogrammed flip flops. Pair them with a pedi and it’s perfect gift.
5. A personalized hoodie dress. That you will probably encourage her to wear with leggings or shorts or something. But, soooo comfy.
6. Captain America Tote Bag. It’s cool enough on its own for us super her loving mamas, but you can get it customized with Super Mom on it if you want!
7. Beach tote. For the summer trips to the water. You can even change the stripe colors and the handle colors to make it match moms style better.
8. A pretty little makeup bag. For travel or just for always.
