Customized Decorative Pillows Pillows make a great Mother’s Day gift because they are both decorative and functional. Also with pillows, the sky is pretty much the limit when it comes to personalization options. From tracing and cutting hand and feet patterns out of fabric and sewing them onto the pillow, to creating a screen print from a favorite family picture, motto or slogan, or digital image, a pillow design can be as lively or minimalist as your mom’s personal aesthetic and taste. Get creative with fabric and ribbons, and when your pillow is ready to wrap, add a little extra flair with matching tissue paper and a decorative gift bag or box.
