  • Love the DIYs.. May be for next year. For this year I got our grandma bracelet personalized name & birthstone of her 12 grand children.

  • What a great article, I’m really glad I stumbled across it as I found it to be really informative. A good article on mothers day gift is not that easy to find but I’m amazed at how you touched on all the corners and how brief and to the point it was. I personally like the embroidered photo design idea. I highly recommend checking out twent3 for mothers day gift and cards, as I’ve used them on several occasions and the cards they produce are really unique and also customized in 3d. So if you want to gift a birthday card to your friends, loved ones or even just for yourself, I can assure you these greeting cards will keep your long-lasting memories alive with the clever lenticular lens they use.
