Mother’s Day
Funny Mother’s Day gifts
A funny Mother’s Day gift works when it proves you were paying attention. Send one photo and a few true things about her, and we print a picture book for adults starring her — her face drawn correctly, her hands drawn very incorrectly.
She’ll show it to her friends, her neighbors and the pharmacist.

Questions
What’s a funny Mother’s Day gift that isn’t flowers?
Something that proves you were paying attention. One photo and a few true things about her become a printed picture book with her in it.
Can it be from a son or a daughter?
From anyone. You type who it’s from and we print it under the dedication, exactly as you type it.
Is it rude?
It’s a gag book, so read the sample pages first. The computer still can’t draw a hand. What the text says about her comes from the details you send us; keep them kind.
How does it work, and what do you need from me?
You pick the book, send one clear photo of them and a few true things about them. We write and illustrate the book from that. You must confirm they’re an adult (18 or older), they’re willing to star in a gag book, and you have permission to share their photo.
Will it arrive in time?
We print and bind the book after you order it, so it isn’t instant — and we won’t promise a date here that we can’t keep for your address. Order with room to spare. If the day is close, write to hello@hellosorry.com first and we’ll tell you honestly whether it can make it.
