It’s coming around again. As much as you want to do more than send a card this year (at the last minute), you know yourself. If you’re a regular reader of blogs like ours you’re a business owner or marketing professional. It’s hard to find time to brainstorm gift ideas.

Allow us to brainstorm for you! Here’s 8 takes on one simple idea: turn her life into art.

1. A different take on flowers. Flowers are pretty easy to order and have delivered. The problem is that they die. This year take a few high-quality photos of the arrangement and capture it for a lifetime on canvas.
2. You and Mom last Mother’s Day. Or Memorial Day, or Easter, whenever it was that you had your dad take that beautiful picture of you two together.
3. Mom’s favorite vacation memory. This one might require a little stealthy thievery … but she’ll forgive you when she sees herself and Dad arm in arm, the Hawaiian sunset behind them, all large as life on her bedroom wall.
4. Loved ones who have passed away. Who does she talk about the most among family members show have passed on? She will love that you noticed.
5. You as a kid. “They grow up so fast!” says everyone, and Mom is no exception. Depending on your age the image quality might not have been great back then, but she won’t care.
6. Grandkids. The image quality should be much better, and wouldn’t it be fun to do both this and #5 to marvel at the family resemblance?
7. Mom’s special animal friend. Whether she’s a dog person, cat person, parrot person, orangutan person (you get the idea), how could she not love to see her animal baby captured on canvas?
8. Accomplishments. What has she done in life that she is most proud of? Is she an artist? A gardener? Has she written a book, climbed a mountain, built a business? Consider what you can photograph to capture this part of her life and do her the honor of enshrining it in her home.

That’s just 8 of hundreds of ideas. Yes, some of them do require a bit of photography work. If you’d like, we can connect you with our network of professional photographers who would love to help you with your project.

Just give us a call. We know you’re busy, so we’ll make it quick!
