Tiles are the smallest, most salable Mother's Day gifts you can have in your store. Priced under 10 euros, universally recognizable, and small enough for spontaneous impulse buys at the checkout. A must-have peak item for florists and gift shops in May.
What will you find in this collection?
The focus is on tiles with Mother's Day and Grandma texts, supplemented with display accessories.
- Classic Mother's Day texts: "love you", "ik hou van uw" (I love you), "u bent de allerliefste" (you are the sweetest), "dikke krup" (big hug). Straightforward gifts for the average customer.
- Expressive texts: "mom you are magic", "you're wonderful, fantastic, beautiful", "full of love", "love love love", "xoxo hartje" (xoxo heart). For customers who want something specific.
- For grandma: "liefste oma" (dearest grandma) tile. Special variant for grandmother gifts.
- Display accessories: 12 cm wooden easel, green 3-leg stand for tiles. To display tiles independently, gift-friendly.
When does demand peak?
The two weeks before Mother's Day. Sales start end of April, peaking between May 5th and 12th. Useful detail: many customers buy two tiles at once. One for their own mother, one for their mother-in-law. Proactively recommend this combination during busy periods. Largest stock peak for you as a store: end of March, with reorder opportunity early May.
How do you position Mother's Day tiles?
A small display near the checkout in the last three weeks of April and the first two weeks of May. Clearly visible with a "Mother's Day Gift" sign. Place the tiles on easels or the stand so customers see them upright. If they are lying flat, they can easily be overlooked. For cross-selling: place gift tags, ribbon, and carrier bags next to them to complete the gift immediately.

Do tiles sell outside Mother's Day?
The explicit "mother" and "grandma" texts are specific to the Mother's Day peak. The general texts ("love you", "you're wonderful, fantastic, beautiful", "love love love", "xoxo") are universal enough for birthdays, Valentine's Day, and spontaneous gifts. For year-round sales: stock more of the neutral texts and fewer of the specific Mother's Day variants.
