Mothers are revered everywhere. From being the first teachers in our lives to putting our needs before her own, a mother’s love knows no bounds. Her unwavering dedication is a selfless act that deserves to be recognised.

Beyond the domestic sphere and throughout history, mothers have always been symbols of strength and power. Today, we celebrate our mothers and mother figures who tirelessly nurture our communities and the broader society.

This Mother’s Day, instead of typical gifts like jewellery or flowers, we can honour and show our deep appreciation for the cherished women in our lives with thoughtful gifts made from scratch.

1. Scrapbooks

Using photos and texts, scrapbooking is a great way to document and preserve fond memories that you can look back on in the future. For Mother’s Day, a scrapbook could be a step up from the traditional card and a way for you to push your creative boundaries to deliver a truly one-of-a-kind gift.

The best part about scrapbooking is that there are no hard-and-fast rules on what you can or cannot include. Be bold in your artistic endeavours! Aside from photos, you can even include drawings, comic strips, cut-outs or precious memorabilia that remind your mother of shared experiences, such as the tickets from a trip you took together.

From your favourite photos to photocopies of memorable letters or notes, the ProDigi™ HD Print Technology enhances the vibrancy of every shared memory. Perfect for the woman who brings colour to your life!

2. Heartfelt Letters

There is no gift more personal than a heartfelt letter. Letters are a classic gift and the perfect medium for anyone to pen down their heartfelt thoughts and gratitude to their mothers. Personalise your handmade letters according to Mum’s preferences, from the design concept down to the colours used.

Don’t know where to begin? If you are good with digital design or illustration, you can bring your artwork from screen to life by printing it on the PaperOne™ Digital 80gsm Carbon Neutral paper. Enhanced with ProDigi HD Print Technology, the paper ensures printouts with lines so crisp that your sincerity would shine clear as day!

3. Recipe Books

Compile a cookbook with recipes from the family’s weekly dinner rotation, featuring all of Mum’s specialty dishes! Or use this time to do a little sleuthing, talk to grandparents and other older relatives, and uncover cherished family recipes that have been passed down for generations.

This creates the perfect opportunity for you and Mum to spend some time together cooking up dishes old and new. Not only will a family recipe book serve as a reminder of delicious meals shared, but it also represents the precious kinship ties that bond your family.

With the volume of recipes that are likely to be in your book, it is important to find a paper that does the job effectively and efficiently. For its high opacity and superb smoothness, the PaperOne Digital 80gsm Carbon Neutral is perfect for this project. It is ideal for double-sided printing, acting as the best canvas for a recipe book full of colourful prints and photos. Even better, its high thickness ensures your recipes are printed to perfection, crafting a timeless recipe book that's built to last and be passed down through generations!

Although Mother’s Day only comes by once every year, mothers are larger-than-life wonder women who should be celebrated every day. Together with your handmade gifts of love, reach out to your mothers and let them know how much they mean to you on this special day!
