Traditionally, Mother’s Day has been all about celebrating your own mum. But we think Mother’s Day should not just be about your own mum but be about any mother figures that we have in our lives.
Whether you know someone who is the owner of a cute little fur baby that they would do absolutely anything for, or someone that who has taken you under their wing after you moved to a new city, or someone who is the kind of person you can always turn to in times of need, it’s time to acknowledge the mother figures in our lives whose kind and nurturing nature often goes unnoticed.
Here are seven options to surprise someone who wouldn’t ordinarily be celebrated this Mother’s Day through our card sending service:
Even though you’re not my mum, you’re a great mum
Biological…schmyological… This card is to acknowledge and appreciate any mum in your life that is doing an incredible job. Send them this card to let them know how special they are. Express your gratitude and admiration for someone who may not be your biological mum but has shown you love, support and care just like a mum would.
This card is ideal for:
- a step-mum who has always treated like their own
- your friend who has just become a new mum and is doing a bloody brilliant job
- your sister-in-law who has been a supportive parent figure to your children
- your friends mum who is your ultimate cheerleader and loves to see you succeed
I couldn’t think of a better adopted mum
Celebrate the special mums who aren’t our biological mums but have taken us in as their own and treated us with love and kindness. This card is to acknowledge the powerful impact their love and nurturing has had on our lives.
This card is perfect for:
- Your best friend’s mum who has always welcomed you with open arms, and always has your fave snacks in the fridge
- Your awesome neighbour who always takes your bin in for you, collects packages left on your doorstep when you’re not home and brings dinners over to you because they made “extras”
- Your best friend who loves and treats your children like they are her own
- An aunty that has taken care of you when your parents haven’t been around.
You’re the best fur baby mumma - dog
Shout to all the dog mums out there. Those people who love their furry four-legged friends like they are a member of the family… the royal family!
This card is perfect for:
- Your best friend who loves her fur baby more than anything in the world
- Your sister who treats your dog like a member of the family
- Your coworker who always talks about her dog and can’t wait to get home to see him
- Your neighbour who is always out walking her dog
- Your wife who jumped through hoops to convince you to get a dog and now you’re more thankful than ever
You’re the best fur baby mumma - cat
This card is the purrrr-fect way to show appreciation for all the cat mummas out there.
This card is perfect for:
- your friend who treats her cat like a queen and always has a lap available for snuggles
- your mum who spoils the cat more than she spoils you
- your coworker whose cat always features on the zoom calls when they are working from home.
You’re an otter-ly amazing mum
There's nothing out there that prepares you for being a mum - and that's what leaves every new mum doubting themselves. Be the one to let them know that you see how well they're doing.
This card is ideal for:
- a new mum that's doing their best and needs to know that their best is more than enough
- Your own mum who has been your sounding board through your teenage years, the breakups and rejections
- a mum who is extraordinarily biased and always sees the best in you
- a mum who works so hard to give their kids the best, but doesn't get the appreciation they deserve
- a mum who juggles a job, more than their fair share of the housework, cares for elderly relatives and is simply an inspiration to those around her
Happy Mother’s Day from your favourite child
Okay, okay, we know this one’s a bit more generic, but we thought we better at least include an option for those of you who enjoy stirring the pot!
Send this card to your mum if:
- You’re the youngest child that always gets away with everything and likes to play up to the favourite child role.
- You’re the middle child who is crying out for some attention
- You’re the family prankster who likes to stir the pot at every occasion
- You’re an adult child who likes reliving childhood memories of teasing their siblings
- You’re an only child, so by default you are your mum’s favourite kid.
