Writing Tips

Be specific about what she means to you

Generic praise is nice, but mentioning something particular she has done -- a meal she always makes, a phrase she says, the way she handles a crisis -- will mean far more.

Match the card to her personality

If your mum loves a laugh, a cheeky message will land better than something overly sentimental. If she treasures heartfelt words, lean into the emotion without holding back.
