Customer Story: Victoria Plybon Mother's Day Thank You Gift

I just want to brag on how much I love my Mixbook. It's so amazing. I mean, look at that cutie. I got this of my first kiddo, Ezra Michael, and this is actually a gift for my mom this year, for Christmas. —Victoria Plybon

Victoria Plybon’s mom gave her one of the best gifts for new moms on Mother’s Day: a professional photo shoot of her newborn infant Ezra Michael. In return, Victoria created an elegant, simple Mixbook photo book (with just a single photo on each page from the photo shoot) to give to her mom as a thank-you gift.

Looking for the Best Gifts for Mom on Mother’s Day?

She got us a photo shoot for Mother's Day, a little newborn session, so I'm getting to gift her a photo album with all the photos. So I'm really excited — she is going to lose it! I'm so pumped. —Victoria

Photo books are a perennial winner in the gifting category for Mother's Day, as they last for years and are rarely discarded.

The Best Gifts for Moms on Mother’s Day Preserve More Than Just Photos

Victoria’s thoughtful gift for her mother was a simple book showcasing one gorgeous image on each page. But there are so many beautiful custom options for your photo layouts. A wonderful way to preserve feelings, thoughts, and memories with your photos is by adding text. Many of Mixbook’s templates provide space to add dates, places, names, birthdays, thoughts, milestones, and other notations that enhance your photos by recording who, what, where and even how you felt when that photo was taken.

There are always options for customization — whether you’re using one of our layout templates, a blank book, or modifying an existing layout with personal touches like tilting your photos or adding stickers or frames.

Mother’s Day Isn't Just About Babies

Photo books are always a good idea, but the best gifts for moms on Mother’s Day are photos of any subject that's special and important to her.  Maybe the mom in your life is an avid travelerrecipe collector, genealogy buff, or proud pet parent.
