Mothers are the everyday heroines. They’re the emotional backbone of the family, manage every crisis, stay on top of key appointments for partner and kids, and are always there with help and comfort no matter the situation. And they do it 24/7, every single day of the year. Where would we be without mums?
Besides birthdays, Mother’s Day is the perfect chance to give something back. Mother’s Day is now celebrated in more than 100 countries – most of them in May. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Mother’s Day falls on 11th May 2025 this year.
Even though Mother’s Day is not a public holiday in German-speaking countries, it still holds great importance. It’s all about showing mums everywhere that everything they do is noticed and appreciated – whether it’s from a daughter, son, partner or even from one mum to another, like mum to grandma. So Mother’s Day brings the whole family together across generations. The idea: Spend the day together, plan a fun activity, enjoy a peaceful meal together and just take some load off mum. It’s also common to surprise mom with a small gift. A colourful bouquet of her favourite flowers, delicious chocolates or perfume are often top of the list. Traditionally, kids often present handmade gifts.
What makes the perfect Mother’s Day gift? That certainly differs in every family. But Strauss has a suggestion that will definitely put a smile on any mum’s face.
Mother’s Day is the perfect occasion to say thank you to your mum. DIY is trending for a reason, because a personal touch turns every gift into something special. After all, what mum wouldn’t love a gift made with lots of love? Personalised photo mugs, thermal mugs, cushions or engraved necklaces are real classics. But how about mixing it up with a shirt, hoodie or jacket featuring a heartfelt message and a cool design? With the CI CONFIGURATOR MYDESIGN, you can easily create a design online in just a few clicks and compose an unforgettable gift for your mum.
With Easytransfer and direct embroidery, the Strauss online designer offers you two different personalisation methods. While Easytransfer stands out with vibrant colours and bold looks, direct embroidery focuses on fine detail and durability. Both methods are available starting from just one item, making them perfect for creating one-of-a-kind gifts for Mother’s Day.
Love this gift idea and want to get started right away? Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Choose a piece of clothing you want to personalise and give as a gift. There are over 100 women's products to choose from – including T-shirts, polo shirts, sweats, hoodies, jackets and trousers. Here you’ll find all women's products that can be personalised using the configurator.
Step 2: Click on “Personalise now”, choose a personalisation method and where your design should be placed.
Step 3: Enter your own text and/or choose a suitable motif from our large database.
Step 4: Check your design for any errors, let us know the size you need and where the gift should be delivered. Then surprise your mum with a beautifully designed one-off and celebrate Mother’s Day in a truly special way.
Big joy with little effort: The MYDESIGN configurator is super easy to use and it only takes a few minutes to complete your custom design. You don’t need any layout or graphic skills. All you need is an idea – or to get inspired by our design templates. A one-of-a-kind gift for a one-of-a-kind woman: every design is individually created by our team after the order is placed. A photo frame, gift box or her favourite flowers are also great gifts – but a personalised piece of clothing lasts for years and is also practical for everyday use.
Give the gift of quality: Mother’s Day may come and go quickly, but your gift should last much longer. You can rely on trusted Strauss quality. Many of our customers are tradespeople who need exceptionally durable clothing, which is why our products are made to stand up to the toughest demands every day.
Let your creativity run wild: Whether it’s just text, a bold design or a mix of both – you’ve got loads of freedom when it comes to personalising your chosen piece. Pick from a variety of fonts and colours, plus over 200 unique motifs. How about a heart with the words “Best mum in the world”? Or a trophy design with the caption “World champion mum”?
If you want something a little more personal, you can also pick your mum’s favourite hobby from the CI CONFIGURATOR MYDESIGN motif database and celebrate her talent. Your mum loves making music? Why not add a guitar to the item and write “Mum rocks!” or “Mum, you’re a hit!”
No matter which personalisation you go for in the end: with the Strauss CI CONFIGURATOR MYDESIGN, your mum will end up with a gift she’ll treasure for a long time.
