Letter’s for Mother’s Day

Depending on where you are in the world, you may be facing another year not being able to see your mother on Mother's Day. Even if you can be together, over the past couple of years, we’ve seen how the card and letter are such vital ways for us to connect and celebrate the day.

When writing a card to your own cherished mum, could you also find time to write a few words of warmth and support to another significant maternal figure in your life?

So this Mother’s Day, why not get around your worries about not knowing what to say by jotting a few thoughts, tales or updates down in a letter? Whether to your mum, aunt, godmother or other important female figure in your life, it’s the perfect way to stay in touch. It gives you time to think about what you want to say and, most importantly, it makes sure the person receiving your message feels remembered and supported.

See this blog post for ideas on how to get your own writing juices flowing when writing to loved ones.

And here are some envelope sized gifts to accompany your letter:

• What says I love you more than an origami heart - and they're super easy to make - here's how.

• Why not pop some of your favourite photos on a USB stick and pop that in the envelope?

• Get the kids to draw pictures - there's nothing more joyful than seeing yourself through the eyes of a child!

• We are hosting a spring themed letter writing workshop at the end of the month - buy a place here and we can arrange a gift voucher for you. All profits are donated to From Me to You.

• Our friends at The Kitsch Hen create boxes of beautiful biscuits perfectly sized for the letterbox!
