A Coulsdon photo business owner has come up with a set of alternative, and inspired, ideas for presents for your mums this Mothering Sunday.
In the frame: prints of favourite photo moments can provide a more original Mother’s Day present than flowers or chocolates
Flowers and chocolates are safe options, but neither has the enduring impact of a personalised gift that mums can cherish for years to come.
Oscar Palmieri, the owner of The Photo Shop at 32 Chipstead Valley Road, said: “Mother’s Day is the perfect time to treat your mum – or mother figure – to something that she can treasure forever.”
Palmieri’s in-house photo printing service offers a wide range of personalised gifts, from small prints to giant posters. “Nothing beats the charm of receiving a printed photo – especially when it features a loving memory,” he said.
Palmieri’s Photo Shop, a Fujifilm partner, suggests these gifts for Mother’s Day:
Create a photo book
“Many families have fond recollections of flicking through photo books during their childhood with a loved one and revisiting the happy memories they hold within. This Mother’s Day, gift the power of nostalgia by creating a modern photo book of your favourite moments with mum.
“We have a wide variety of sizes and personalisation options available to fit all your treasured images and our software can help generate your perfect photo book.”
Frame your favourite photo
“We take so many photos on our phones and cameras but often forget to print our favourites and reminisce on good times. We’re sure any mum will appreciate the time and effort in choosing a photo and deciding on a frame that will complement her home.”
Go big with an enlarged image
Poster present: enlarging images is one of the services offerer at Coulsdon’s The Photo Shop
“If there’s one photo in particular that you know your mum will love, consider using our poster printing service. Available in both landscape and portrait designs and printed using Fujifilm Satin Inkjet Paper to ensure stunning vibrant colours, this is the perfect way to make a big and bold statement of appreciation.”
The Photo Shop offers a range of photo printing services in-store and online, using the latest technology by Fujifilm, and a wide range of services – such as personalised gifts to restoring old and damaged photos, and professional printing.
Mother’s Day this year is on March 30.
