When it comes to Mother’s Day, things like flowers, chocolate or maybe some wine, are often top of the list for gifts. And while these things are great, there are other routes to consider.
One of the popular ones is to get a personalised teddy bear for your mum but why is this such a good gift?
What is a Personalised Teddy?
A personalised teddy bear goes one step beyond the usual types of teddy bears because they have some kind of personalised element. This makes them fantastic to give as gifts as you can make them unique and special for the person you are giving them to.
Personalised teddies are very popular as gifts for new-born babies and for special occasions for children such as their 1st birthday. But really, they can be used for any occasion and as so many of us have a love of teddies, few people won’t have a smile if they receive one.
How to Personalise for Mother’s Day
There are lots of ways you can personalise a teddy bear for a Mother’s Day gift. A simple option is to just to have the teddy with a short message and the date on it. That way, it will always be a keepsake of the occasion and it is easy to remember when it was received.
You could also go further and have a special message or even a verse added to the teddy, depending on the style and size. There are lots of different options but something meaningful or relevant to your Mum would always be a good option.
Simple also works and you could just add the names of the people giving the teddy as the personalised element. This works well if you have siblings and want to give the gift between you.
Teddy Bears are Better than Flowers
Personalised teddy bears make a great gift for a number of reasons, especially when compared to flowers, one of the traditional Mother’s Day gifts.
Top of the list of reasons why is that they last so much longer. Even the best flowers will be gone in a week or two. Plants will last longer, depending on how good your mother is at caring for them! But they will still have a lifespan. Whereas a teddy bear can last almost forever.
The personalised element means they are a gift with greater meaning. Even with a nice card attached to them, there’s nothing too personal about flowers, apart from perhaps which ones you choose.
Finally, there’s the benefits that come from teddies regardless. Hugging one, having them on a shelf that makes you smile when you see them, reminding yourself you are loved. Teddies do all of these things naturally just by existing and this is something that is beneficial for mums of all ages in the same way that it is for kids.
So, this Mother’s Day, rather than sticking with the tried and test flowers or chocolate, why not get a personalised teddy bear for your mum and give her a gift that will make her smile for the longest time?
