Suitable for every occasion, in this case Mother's Day, we have beautiful designs that elevate your creation for ‘Mum’ beautifully. Plus, they also make great gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and ‘just because’... Read on below for our simple tips and tricks for creating a gift that she will love this Mother’s Day and beyond!

Select Your Photo of Choice

As a rule, images will need to be shot in a portrait format - a wonderful basis for a mobile phone case. This format is also recommended for your photo of choice as smartphones are often placed upright in sight or in the hand of the user.

If you have time, stage a small selfie photo shoot with your Mum to get some recent photographs of the two of you together. Remember, don't say what you intend to use the photos for to create an even bigger surprise. If you don't have a chance to grab a spontaneous picture then don't worry. There are definitely photos that you can look for alternatively - maybe one from when you were younger?

Top Tip: The cut-out for the camera of your mobile phone is often found in the upper left area of the case. Remember to plan for this when choosing your final photograph.

Start Designing - Mother’s Day Edition

When making your selection, make sure that the desired photo still has a little “air” around it so you can add a Mother’s Day template. When using the template ‘"Best Mum" , it will overlap the bottom part of the photo so make sure there is some space that you don’t mind being covered up by the motif.

Top Tip: You can find our design with the “Best Mum” design under “Layouts”. Here, you can find more that are also suitable for other occasions too - browse to your heart's content and remember to not overthink your design. Your gut is your best advisor when making the right choice!

The Icing on the Cake

Now that you’ve created and ordered your personalised phone case, it’s time to wrap it up in your most fancy materials! We would recommend matching the gift packaging to your mobile phone case, alongside a personal message and maybe even a bow. Alternatively, you can also choose something a bit more understated - for example natural brown yarn or a simple gift tag to complement.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Mother’s Day is an occasion celebrated far and wide and is your chance to thank your mum for everything she does. A little bit of thought goes a long way and we’re here to turn that thought into a beautiful photo gift.

Whether they are a new mum, the ‘best-mum-in-the-world’, or someone who is just like a mum to you, create something with CEWE and be assured that you’ve crafted a gift that she will instantly fall in love with.
