This Mother’s Day, choose a gift that’s as special as she is

As Mother’s Day draws nearer, consider a gift that reflects all the love and admiration you have for your Mum. At Caran d’Ache, we believe that every detail matters, especially when it comes to celebrating the people we love the most. This year, put that traditional bouquet of flowers to one side and opt for a unique gift: a customised writing instrument created thanks to our Caran d’Ache + Me configurator.

A pen designed by you and inspired by her is much more than a simple object, it’s her companion in moments of reflection and inspiration. Discover how you can turn a classic gift into a unique testimony of your affection and turn this into a very special Mother’s Day.

Gifting a writing instrument to your Mum on Mother’s Day is choosing a gift that is simultaneously elegant, useful and intimate.

All Caran d’Ache writing instruments, whether fountain pens, ballpoint pens or mechanical pencils, are built to last. Unlike some gifts which can be short-lived, a pen will last for many years and may even become a family heirloom.

Whether it’s used to draw up shopping lists, keep a journal or sign important documents, a pen is always useful and within hand’s reach.

Finally, a writing instrument is the perfect gift to encourage your Mum to rediscover the pleasures of writing by hand, an increasingly rare occurrence in our digital world, that is nevertheless appreciated for its personal and intimate nature.

With the Caran d’Ache + Me configurator you can customise every aspect of the iconic 849™ ballpoint pen. Every detail can be adapted to your Mum’s tastes and preferences, from the engraving on the pen’s body to its colour to the type of ink. Her customised writing instrument is, as a result:

• As unique as she is: your Mum is unique, and her gift should be too. Thanks to the Caran d’Ache + Me configurator, you can design a pen that reflects her tastes, personality and favourite colours.

• A personal message: by personalising your writing instrument, you can add an engraving, whether a name, date or loving message.

• A meaningful everyday object: a customised pen is an everyday companion that is by her side for writing, drawing, getting organised… that will always remind her of you.

Choosing the perfect pen for your Mum means considering her needs and personality. A pen isn’t just a writing instrument, it’s the accessory that will be by her side during moments of reflection, organisation and creativity. Here are a few tips to help you find the personalised pen that is not only useful, but also very special.
 

Before choosing a pen, look at how your Mum writes. Does she use a light writing instrument, or does she prefer something with more heft? Is her handwriting fine or wide? Caran d’Ache pens are available with various types of nibs that come in different sizes, making it easy to adapt to every type of handwriting. A ballpoint pen or roller ball pen is ideal for everyday writing, while a fountain pen is the perfect choice for lovers of neat handwriting and calligraphy.
 

Think of the colours and the finishes that your Mum loves. Caran d’Ache pens offer a wide range of colours, textures and materials, from elegant platinum finishes to brightly coloured lacquers. If she likes classic, timeless accessories, she’ll love a black pen with touches of gold. If she prefers a more colourful or modern style, a brightly-coloured pen will surely delight her.
 

The pen you choose for your Mum must match her personality and reflect who she is. A platinum ballpoint pen set in a leather case, with its understated elegant style, is perfect for a woman who is discreet and pragmatic. Conversely, a more daring personalised style with bright colours or novel finishes will suit a creative Mum who has an artistic temperament. Discover and try out the Caran d’Ache + Me configurator and create the personalised gift that will go straight to your Mum’s heart on Mother’s Day.
