Why Mums love keepsakes
Most mums will tell you they don't need anything. What they treasure is proof that they are loved: words they can reread, a gift they can display, a reminder of the family they raised. A keepsake gives her exactly that, long after flowers have faded.
Mother's Day gifts from the whole family
The Mum Queen of Hearts Family Keepsake is designed for everyone to take part. Each family member adds their own message to a sentimental scroll, so the gift comes from all of you. It is especially meaningful for milestone birthdays and for families who live apart.
Kiss-print keepsakes for Mum
A kiss-print keepsake preserves a real lipstick kiss in a themed display. A kiss from a child or grandchild becomes something Mum can keep forever. Try The Most Precious Kiss of All, which includes a gold-tone case and matching lipstick, or the soft, romantic Butterfly Kisses.
Beauty gifts for Mum
For the mum who loves her makeup, a lipstick gift set is a complete present in one box. Cosmopolitan Kisses suits a stylish, city-loving mum, while Bohemian Kisses suits a free spirit.
Gifts for Nan and Grandma
Grandparents treasure anything that celebrates the family. Pair the Queen of Hearts certificate with a kiss keepsake from the grandchildren, or add a My Grandchildren Heart and Stone Card for her to give in return.
Remembering Mum
Mother's Day can be hard if Mum is no longer with you. The Gone But Not Forgotten remembrance keepsake offers a gentle poem and space to record treasured memories.
