You can consult a professional block carver who can create a block based on her favorite patterns, motifs, or any other personal inspiration. This unique gift will make her feel truly cherished and motivated to create more stunning prints.

4. Block Printing Books: Help your mom expand her knowledge and skills by giving her a couple of block printing books. Look for titles that focus on different aspects of the art, such as design ideas, techniques, history, or inspiration from renowned block printing artists. These books will be a valuable resource for her, enhancing her creativity and understanding of the art form.

5. Block Printed Fabrics: Treat your mom to some beautiful block printed fabrics, like scarves, shirts, or home decor items. Look for vibrant and intricate block prints on high-quality fabrics that suit her taste. These pieces will not only add a unique touch to her wardrobe or living space but also serve as a source of inspiration for future projects.

6. Custom Block Printed Stationery: Personalize her gift by creating custom block printed stationery. You can design a set of notecards, envelopes, or even a journal with her initials or favorite motifs. Include different colors and patterns to add variety. This delightful and useful gift will encourage her to stay connected with loved ones through handwritten correspondence.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and love behind it. Choose something that reflects your mom's passion for block printing, and she will truly appreciate your effort to support her creative journey.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.
