Give Mum a Memory She Can Keep: Mother's Day Keepsake Ideas with instax™ 💐
This Mother’s Day, go beyond the usual gifts and create something personal. With instax™, you can turn your favourite memories into instant prints Mum can keep, display and look back on long after the day is over. From handmade cards to memory jars, photo garlands and personalised frames, here are a few simple ways to turn your instax™ prints into a meaningful Mother’s Day keepsake.
1. Create a handmade photo card 💌
Swap the standard card for something more personal. Add an instax™ photo to the front of a handwritten Mother’s Day card, or place one inside as a little surprise.
Choose a photo that captures a favourite shared memory - a family lunch, a holiday, a candid moment or even a childhood photo reprinted from your phone.
Keepsake idea:
Write the story behind the photo underneath, so Mum keeps both the memory and the moment.
2. Design a photo garland ✂️
Turn your instax™ prints into a decorative garland Mum can hang at home. Use string, mini pegs and a mix of photos, handwritten notes and small paper decorations. It works beautifully for a Mother’s Day breakfast, lunch setup or surprise bedroom display.
Keepsake idea:
Theme the garland around “our favourite moments with Mum.”
3. Build a mini memory album ✨
A small scrapbook or photo album filled with instax™ prints makes a beautiful keepsake Mum can look over again and again.
Add captions, dates, little notes and stickers to make each page feel more personal. It doesn't need to be perfect, the charm is in the memories.
Keepsake idea:
Create one page for each family member to decorate with their favourite memories and messages for Mum.
4. Frame a moment that matters 🫶
Choose a favourite instax™ print and turn it into a framed gift. Keep it simple with a classic frame, or decorate the border with a handwritten note, pressed flowers, ribbon or small keepsake details.
Keepsake idea:
Use a photo from Mother’s Day itself and gift it to her at the end of the day.
5. Create a “then and now” photo gift 💕
Pair an old photo with a new instax™ print to show how much has changed - and how much has stayed the same. This works beautifully with childhood photos, family traditions, sibling photos or recreating an old moment with Mum.
Keepsake idea:
Add a caption like: “Same love, years later.”
Make Mother’s Day last longer. The best gifts are the ones that feel personal.
Turn small moments into something Mum can hold, display and treasure.
Create a Mother’s Day memory Mum can keep with instax™.
