Christmas gifts for mum
Some of the best stories we know, we heard from our mums first. These prints bring those books back, along with a few gentle words for the kitchen or the hallway. Each one is made by me, then printed to order on heavy archival paper.

How to choose
For the mum who loves Christmas itself, the Ghost of Christmas Present, holly on every wall. If she read Narnia or Alice to you, the Lamp-post or the Mad Tea-Party will mean more than any card. The quote prints are quieter: Just Keep Swimming and This Too Shall Pass for the mum who keeps everyone going, Hakuna Matata for the one who never worries, and Espresso Not Depresso for the mum who runs on coffee. White or natural oak frames suit most homes.
Questions
- What is a thoughtful Christmas gift for mum?
- A print of a book she loved, or read to you, or a line that sounds like her. It's personal, and it goes on the wall instead of in a drawer.
- What do you get a mum who has everything?
- Something with a memory in it rather than another thing to use. A framed scene from a family favourite book is hard to have already.
- When should I order for Christmas?
- Prints are made to order and sent within 1 to 3 working days. Order by early December to be safe.
