Tips And Ideas For Mother's Day 

For a Mother’s Day gift, buy Mom a 500 piece puzzle if she does not do puzzles on a regular basis.  That way it will not be too daunting.  A custom mother’s day puzzle makes a great gift.  

A very thoughtful gift for mother’s day is wooden jigsaw puzzles.  A great way, or unique way, is to create a personalized jigsaw puzzle that says happy mothers day or best mum with your own photo.

What really makes fun puzzles are photos of the whole family. These are perfect for collage jigsaw puzzles that can include childhood memories or a beautiful place she may have visited.

 Every year many people search for mom gift ideas to make this special day as much fun as possible. Back in the day, cutting boards became associated with mothers day gifts but now a days, a unique gift such as a wooden puzzle often comes with some of the most beautiful fine art available and in different sizes too, as low as 50 pieces to 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

A personal custom gift tends to be more memorable and usually ends up on the wall and unique puzzles enhance this very special day for your Mom.

Regardless of which gift or jigsaw puzzle gift you get for your Mom this Mother's Day, the best gift for Mom will be the quality time you spend together.

History of Mother's Day

From Wikipedia

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, most commonly in the months of March or May. It complements similar celebrations, largely pushed by commercial interests, honoring family members, such as Father's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents' Day.

While some countries have a multi-century history of a day to celebrate mothers, the modern American version of the holiday began in the United States in the early 20th century at the initiative of Anna Jarvis, who organized the first Mother's Day service of worship and celebration at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which serves as the International Mother's Day Shrine today.

Don’t forget to look ahead for a great gift for Father's day. A custom puzzle image might be the big fish he caught so he can admire it on the wall. Look for platforms that offer free shipping.

Our most favourite Mother's Day jigsaw puzzle is Girl's Best Friend. See the following review we have put together.

Girl's Best Friend Jigsaw Puzzle

The Girls Best Friend Puzzle captures the ideal Mother-Daughter image that so many Mothers and daughters have fond memories about. I know this because I am one of them. 

And just so you know up front, the border being in black and white checkers like that is a tad tricky but once you get that accomplished you will enjoy the rest of the puzzle.

Girls Best Friend Puzzle Assembly: 

I did my usual sorting routine.

  1. Sorting to locate all  the outside border pieces, while....
  2. Placing the pieces into the 'general-color' layout onto the Grateful House puzzle trays. These trays are 14" x 10" in a pack of 8. I can layout all the pieces easily IF I use the lid for the edge pieces. This example is using the Cobble Hill Brand puzzle at 1000 pieces and puzzle Size is 26.625" x 19.25". 
I did my usual sorting routine. Sorting to locate the outside border pieces, while placing the pieces into the 'general-color' piles. I continued with a second round of sorting.
The next step is to layout all the pieces onto foam boards. Ideally, approximately 500 pieces per board. There's 550 pieces here so I spread them out.
Board #2 - The next step is to layout all the pieces onto foam boards. Ideally, approximately 500 pieces per board. There's 550 pieces here so I spread them out.
These border types are tricky and basically are determined by the shapes of the puzzles right down to the tips of the puzzles. Luckily it was the tips that gave the best clues to assemble it.

After sorting the pieces and according to the colors, the red letters were done first, followed by both Mother and daughter and the other baking items. The yellow text 'Mother' was completed next, then the brown table and finished with the background wall.

Girls Best Friend Puzzle Comments...

Karmin International is known for it's low prices, medium quality puzzles but great images - the price has to be traded for something. But since the images are attractive enough to buyers, the quality becomes tolerable making this one a really cute quick-fix.

The Artist, Mary Engelbreit, is also known for her beautiful graphic arts which are also in children's books and many other products. I recommend the Girls Best Friend Puzzle for those Mom's doing baking AND puzzles with their daughters.

I have also had the pleasure of doing At Christmas Give Your Heart by Mary Engelbreit. It was by Ceaco in 1994, with a size of 16x20", 500 piece ultra thick, unique die-cut cork board and shaped pieces border. Certainly worth checking out.

This Karmin International, Girls Best Friend puzzle by Mary Engelbreit was at the Thrift store still sealed. It sells at the Dollar store for $3 but I paid $1.00 for it which made for a pretty good chance all the pieces were there. So not a bad bang for a buck!
