Open Me When Letters for Mother's Day

Following on from the enormous success of my Valentine's 'Open Me When' Letters sets I have now designed one for our Mum's for Mother's Day! 

So here's what's included: 12 envelopes in pretty pastel shades, all with pretty pastel labels for each occasion for Mum to open her envelopes. Each one has been designed by me at Sarah's Simply Handmade so that the whole set co-ordinates beautifully. Along with the envelopes you also get a 'starter kit' so to speak of things to include in your envelope including quote cards, things to do, jokes, lavender & ribbon to tie everything together once you have added all your personal notes, photos & gifts etc. You will also receive an ideas sheet to help you fill your envelopes.

Let's see what's inside:

We start with an envelope for Mum to open on Mother's Day, where you can add a couple of quote cards, a joke maybe & a little note from you explaining what you have put together for her & how when she the time's right she can open each envelope on the days she needs to. (Picture left) There's also an envelope for Mum to open if you haven't spoken to her in a while, included a 'call me' quote card, and 5 things you admire about her that you can fill in so she knows although you haven't spoken you're always thinking about her + again add a little note. (Picture Right)

Next there's an envelope for Mum to open on her birthday with a pretty quote card included, + you could add a gift voucher, IOU Lunch note, a letter, photo clues to a gift or anything you want that you know your Mum will love (Picture left). There's also an envelope here for when you and your Mum have had a little disagreement!! (Hopefully not used to often!) it includes a quirky joke, and 2 quote cards and you can also add a little apology note telling Mum how much you love her etc. (Picture Right)

The next two are thoughtful envelopes, one for when Mum can't sleep with a little card with suggestions to help & some lavender. You could also pop a note saying look for 'playlist' and secretly you could have popped an easy listening playlist for your Mum on her phone / ipod etc if she has one. (Picture Left). The other is for when your Mum's feeling a bit down and maybe feels like crying. I have included some lovely quote cards telling her how much a Mum means and you can also pop in a tea bag. You can write her a little note saying she should take a deep breath, call you, have a cuppa etc or anything else that you know would help your Mum to feel a bit better!

These are lovely envelopes for Mum to open .. A Walk Down Memory Lane (as you can see I've printed out some photos to include in the one I'm making up for my Mum ) and you could pop a little note with some good time memories for her to sit and reflect on. (Picture Left). When Mum needs a laugh there's an envelope just for that & can be filled with silly jokes & a quote card all included in the set. Plus you may well have some inside tales & jokes you can add to this to make her giggle. (Picture Right).

Here we have an envelope for when Mum needs to know someone cares, complete with quote cards to let her know how much you love her you can also pop in a little gift, a chocolate bar? and a personal note. (Picture Left). We all have days when we're feeling a bit bored so here we have a couple of suduko puzzles & a Mum word search included, but you could also pop in a hot chocolate sachet for when she sits down to do her puzzles and some ideas you know your Mum would like to get her out of her boredom.

Lastly a bit of Ying & Yang! An envelope to open when Mum's having a good day with quote cards, add in photos, notes, little gifts, scratch cards etc. (Picture Left) and finally an envelope to open when she's having a bad day .. includes a '31 things to do when you're having a bad day' sheet, some bubble wrap with 'pop 3 times when required' and a quote card. You will have other ideas of what to include that will cheer your Mum up! 

So as you see there are lots of ideas & lots of items included ... just look at them all together!

This is such a thoughtful gift to give your Mum on Mother's Day that shows her how much you care and love her not just on Mother's Day but throughout the year too! I know you'll have fun personalising your envelopes and adding all the photos, gifts & notes throughout. And your Mum she will feel very special indeed that you did all this for her.
