Pop Some Mom Love in the Mail!

As Mother’s Day grows nearer, you can’t get too far without hearing comments about “greeting card holidays” and “corporate cliches.”

We might be biased here at Studio Masha D’yans, but we don’t think it’s quite as glum as all that!

In fact, we think of sending a greeting card as a radical act of love!

What used to be common (sending a letter through the mail) is long considered to be quaint. The act of mailing a card through the postal service can be fun, personalized, and might just make you feel like a kid again.

When it comes to greeting cards, tenderness and affection can be found in the ritual itself. In the time it took to choose one, to compose and handwrite it. In the sealing of the envelope, in the walk to the mailbox… in the joy that comes from receiving a thoughtful piece of stationery in a box that usually delivers bills or unwanted junk .

With Mother’s Day approaching, it can be tempting to think of a greeting card as a cliche… but choosing a beautiful, artfully-created card to express your love to whomever you call “Mom” — or someone who is missing theirs — is a classic that’s hard to beat.

Pop some love in the mailbox or pair it with a beautiful gift. Here are a few of our faves right now:

Cactus Deer

This bright-eyed, bushy-tailed desert friend is sure to lift Mom’s spirits and usher in spring!

 

Sunset Soak

This dreamy sunset scene is sure to lull the mother in your life into a luxurious, pampering mood!

Guitar Cat

Is Mom a cat lover? A music lover? Both? This jazzy cat is a unique, fun way to send some pep through the post.

Pair our cards with few of our favorite gift ideas to make Mom’s day!

Jonathan Adler Bubbly Pop Candle

Smells like: pink grapefruit, raspberry, French cassis, violet leaves, rose petal, and grape leaf.

A lush scent in a metallic vessel that is begging to be reused as a vase.
