Looking for a unique gift for Mom this Mother’s Day? Here are some ideas that you can create with your own digital talents.
Gift Idea #1: Framed “Mom” Quotes
Grab your favorite Mom quote, add a border or background, print it out and then frame it. Go the extra mile and add a photo of you with your Mother.
Gift Idea #2: Make a Slideshow
This one is sure to please. Collect and scan a bunch of photos of your family throughout the years (or, just the two of you if you’d rather) and put them in a slideshow. If you live far away from your Mother, send her the video via YouTube or be old school and burn it on a CD.
VideoStudio users, browse our collection of instant project templates that make slideshows as easy as 1-2-3, including this special Mother’s Day template.
Gift Idea #3: Create a personalized card
Mothers love nothing more than knowing how much they mean to you and that you truly appreciate all of their hard work over the years. And, sometimes, a generic card from the local card shop just doesn’t cut it.
Gift Idea #4: Printable Cards
If you’re short on time or not artistically inclined, you can find many printables online. And, best of all, they’re free!
PaintShop Pro users, download this free Mother’s Day card template from within the product! Go to File > New from Template, select the Cards category and then browse to find this and other free templates to download.

Gift Idea #6: Then & Now Photos
Now, this one’s FUN. Recreate an old childhood photo with your family. If you want it to be a surprise, choose a photo that does not include Mom.
Gift Idea #7: Computer Wallpaper Collage
Make a collage of special photos you know your Mom will love—photos of you! Score some extra teary-eyed points by using old photos from your childhood. Or, even better, make a collage of the grandkids.
