This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the incredible worlds that mothers create, one photo at a time. Whether it’s your Mom, Grandma, Aunt, or any maternal figure dear to you, gift them the story of their lifetime on a photo blanket.
Begin with a vision in mind
Imagine the narrative you want the blanket to convey and the emotions you intend to evoke when Mum embraces it. Let this vision shape your decisions as you tailor the blanket. If you’re making a sherpa blanket for Grandma, choose the photographs that remind her of who she is — the anchor that connects you all.
Lay it all out
Once you’ve selected your photos, it’s useful to consider how you want to arrange them. Here are a couple of examples to provide you with an idea of how you might organize your photos for various types of mums.
For Mum
- Photos of the kids
- Wedding portraits
- Childhood pictures
- Photos with her mum
- Family holidays
- Pets
She’s your forever friend, your greatest inspiration. For all that she is and more, preserve Mum’s personal history with a photo blanket. Capture her school days, the day she said ‘I do’, and her greatest joy (that’s you). Do so in chronological order for a visually striking reminder of what she loves most.
For Mums-to-be
- Ultrasound scans
- Baby bump photos
- Baby shower
- Gender reveal party
- Building the nursery
Pregnancy: a time of profound change, joy and anticipation. This unique and fleeting time in her life deserves to be treasured. With a photo blanket you can create a Mother’s Day gift that reflects her unique story beautifully, from those first ultrasounds to growing baby bumps.

Top tip: Add quotes from your vows to each other, or even the first dance song lyrics.
Add the final touches
For an extra personal touch, add text alongside the photos; ‘My wonderful Mum’, ‘Greatest Granny’, ‘Mr & Mrs’ or just simply ‘Happy Mother’s Day’. Remember, you can create one blanket, order extra copies, and gift to many!
