The best personalised Mother's Day cards

Mother’s Day is a chance to say ‘thanks’ for everything our mums do. After all, we wouldn’t be here without them! Mother’s Day falls on 14 March this year, and it’s looking a little different than usual—real hugs are out, Zoom calls are in, and we’re scouring the internet for unique Mother’s Day gifts for when we can’t be there to celebrate. A personalised card is an affordable, thoughtful option you can order online, even if you’ve left things ‘til the last minute. With so many websites offering customisable cards, it can be hard to know where to start. We've rounded up our faves to help you find the perfect personalised Mother’s Day card to show mum you care. Go on, she deserves it!

Moonpig

From £3.99
You’ve left things until the last minute, but you still want to get mum something special this Mother’s Day—we get it. It’s hard to keep track at the best of times, least of all in a pandemic. Moonpig is our top pick for personalised cards with next day delivery. Start with one of the online templates and customise your photo card with your own snaps and messages. There are loads of alternatives to the classic Mother’s Day card, too—you’ll find card templates for pet mums, aunts, grandmas and mums-to-be in this Moonpig collection.

NotOnTheHighStreet

From £4.99

NotOnTheHighStreet has a great range of funny cards guaranteed to make mum laugh this Mother’s Day. Stocking customisable cards from small businesses across the UK, NotOnTheHighStreet has cards suit any sense of humour—who said dad jokes can’t be for mums, too? We love this cute merit patch card which comes with embroidered patches for mum to wear with pride, adorned with accolades like ‘best baker’, ‘love sharer’ and (our personal favourite) ‘bottomless piggy bank’. Thanks, mum!

Snapfish

From £2.99

Personalised postcards are super underrated. They’re quick to design, cheap to send and can be easily framed as a forever keepsake. We love Snapfish’s easy-to-use website and app, which will help you design a photo postcard in mere minutes. There are loads of templates to choose from—create a collage of family snaps or select your favourite pic to take centre stage. This is also a great option if you’re looking to send a personalised card overseas this Mother’s Day.

Funky Pigeon

From £1.49

If you’ve really left things ‘til the last minute, a Mother’s Day Ecard is the perfect workaround. Browse the cute animated cards available at Funky Pigeon, which can be sent by email for an instant ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ message. These are a far cry from the old-school Ecards from the early 00s, and with options to personalise with your mum’s name, your own photo or a cute message, it’s a whole lot better than a last minute text message. You can opt for it to be sent at a certain date and time to align with a surprise phone call—crisis averted!
