Make Mother’s Day Special with Handmade Pottery Gifts
Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate mum and everything she does for us. At Crafty Monkey we see lots of people from babies to adults and lots of dad's bringing the kids in to create personalised pottery gifts for mum or even for grandma!
New mums cherish their first Mother’s Day with tiny handprints on pottery, little baby footprints, and adorable keepsakes. As babies grow into toddlers and young children, their artistic skills blossom and primary school aged children love painting gifts for mum. We see many brightly coloured mugs, fingerprint flowers and hearts, or messy but painted with love creations.
However, as children grow into tweens, then teens, the tradition of handmade Mother’s Day gifts tends to fade. Gone are the days of gifting a freshly picked daisy, a pretty stone, or a heartfelt doodle. Instead, it’s “Mum, can you wash my hoodie?” or “Mum, what’s for dinner?” (Sound familiar? 😆). Instead of making mum a handmade gift for Mothering Sunday, teenagers and adults often opt for shop-bought presents.
But here’s the thing - even when you’re all grown up we bet mum secretly misses those little love tokens and would still LOVE something handmade! So, why not bring back the magic this Mother’s Day with a hand painted personalised pottery gift to show your appreciation and bring back those special moments!🎨💕
