Why celebrate Mother's Day?

Whether we call her Mommy, Ma, Mother or Mom; Mother's Day is a day that is celebrated in her honour, every 2nd Sunday of May, for as long as we can remember!

It is an opportunity to ensure that the mother figures in our lives feel appreciated and loved as they should every day. For adoptive mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, big sisters, godmothers, mothers at heart, and all those who were destined to be mothers at some point; this is a day worth celebrating.

It is a time to reflect on the lessons we learned from them, the stories they told us, and the memories we will cherish forever. For many, it is a day to celebrate and show our admiration and gratitude toward our mothers and other important women in our lives.

What to give as a Mother's Day gift?

What to give to that person who means so much to us, to express the sincerest "thank you"? Whether you choose a gift based on her passions or simply personalize an item that you know she will love, we have the gift that will make her day remarkable.

If you are lucky enough that she is still alive, a personalized Odela gift is a way to express your appreciation, to say, "I love you" and "Thank you" and so that when she is feeling down or tired, she will have a meaningful item to cherish at hand and smile at the memories.

Here are 10 ways to express your gratitude to your mom with a personalized gift!

1. Honour her with this special mother-daughter gift: a pair of personalized wine tumblers that symbolizes your eternal bond.

2. Give new life to your mother's favorite family photos with the help of Odela. Simply upload her favorite images (photos of her grandchildren, vintage portraits of her great-grandparents, or sunsets from your most memorable beach vacations), and choose a theme that will highlight them to make a large collage that your mother will treasure for years to come.

3. For the mom who always arrives with her hands full: This personalized canvas bag with black handles will make it easy for her to store the goodies she has made for your family, her slippers, her umbrella, and anything else she needs to take with her.

4. Is your mom an animal lover? This personalized pillow can act as a unique and thoughtful tribute to her mom/pet relationship.

5. Jot down a meaningful note, take a picture of it and have it printed on a coffee mug she will cherish.

6. Immortalize your mom's famous apple pie or other favourite recipe on a unique apron.

7. The mothers in our lives are often the source of our most cherished memories. So, gather the unforgettable excursions, celebrations and stories that span generations in the pages of a personalized photo book.

8. We believe that if a puzzle is going to sit on your coffee table for days, it should also be beautiful and meaningful. That is why we offer you the option to personalize it. Simply choose one of your favourite photos and with the configurator, you can turn it into a unique puzzle that the whole family will enjoy putting together.

9. As a parent, one thing is for sure: you can never have too many pictures of your kids or grandkids. That is exactly why your mom will appreciate this stylish frame that will make her smile every time she walks by.

10. Does your mom like to play cards? Give her a personalized deck of cards that will highlight her grandchildren and imagine how proud your mom will be when she plays with her friends or with your kids!

What if your mother is no longer around?

Mother's Day is not like it used to be after our mother passed away. Instead, this special day reminds us of the pain of loss. We are strongly thinking of her. Why not honour the unique relationship we had with her and find a personalized comforting gift to give to ourselves?

With the possibility of uploading photos via a configurator and having them printed directly onto a keepsake or album, giving yourself a commemorative gift at Odela allows you to have your mom with you, wherever you are. Also think of your brothers and sisters who might appreciate this personalized gift, the one you took the time to prepare with great care and anticipation.

There are many little moments we remember about our mothers that we will never forget. Mother's Day is the perfect time to share them. Everyone loves to hear family stories, especially those they may not know that reveal those special little things that made her unique and wonderful.

If you have children, you can use this opportunity to tell them about their grandmother. Have your own photo album of moments from her life. This will help all of you feel closer to her, even if she is not around.
