Good Old Mom Fine Art Print: A Thoughtful Gift for Mom

A practical guide to choosing the Good Old Mom fine art print as a gift for mom, covering size, signature, framing, and the made-to-order timeline.

Why this print works as a gift for mom

The Good Old Mom Fine Art Print pairs Mary Engelbreit’s whimsical artwork with a warm, humorous message that reads like a mother’s voice. It’s a sentimental gift for mom that works for Mother’s Day, a birthday, or just because. The print is available in two sizes and with or without Mary’s signature, so you can tailor it to your budget and her space.

Because all fine prints are created to order, you’ll need to plan ahead—processing can take up to one week. That makes this a good choice when you have a little lead time and want something more personal than a last-minute store-bought card.

What you’re actually giving

  • Good Old Mom Fine Art Print: Printed on high-quality, textured paper. Textured paper gives the print a tactile, art-print feel that elevates it beyond a poster.

  • Good Old Mom Fine Art Print: Reads: Good Old Mom. The text includes a mother’s humorous reassurance about being the prettiest, nicest, and brightest girl in school. The message is the heart of the gift—it’s sentimental and funny, which suits moms who appreciate Mary’s sense of humor.
  • Good Old Mom Fine Art Print: Available with Mary’s signature. A signed print can feel more collectible or personal, while an unsigned print keeps the cost lower.
  • Good Old Mom Fine Art Print: Standard frame sizes: 11" x 14" and 16" x 20". Standard sizes make it easy to find a ready-made frame, so you can gift it framed without a custom order.

Size and signature: the two choices that matter

The print comes in four variants: 11" x 14" or 16" x 20", each signed or unsigned. Your decision should start with where she’ll hang it and whether a signature matters to her.

  • 11" x 14": A versatile size for a desk, shelf, small wall, or gallery arrangement. It’s the lower-commitment option if you’re unsure of her space.
  • 16" x 20": A larger statement for a main wall, living room, or entryway. It suits a mom portrait wall art display or a standalone focal point.
  • Signed: Choose signed if she values artist signatures or you want a more collectible gift. It also signals a special edition feel.
  • Not signed: Choose unsigned if the message and artwork are the priority and you’d rather put the difference toward framing or another gift.

Framing and display: plan before you order

Both sizes are standard, so you can shop ready-made frames from common retailers or frame shops. If you plan to gift it framed, buy the frame before the print arrives—or order the print first and take it to a framer for a custom look. The print is created to order, so allow up to one week for processing before it ships.

For a mom portrait wall art arrangement, the 16" x 20" size can anchor a small gallery, while the 11" x 14" works well paired with family photos or other Mary Engelbreit prints. Keep the message in mind: it’s a conversational piece, so give it a spot where she’ll see it daily—a hallway, kitchen, or bedroom wall.

When this print is the right gift

  • She appreciates sentimental humor: The mother’s message is warm and funny, so it fits moms who enjoy a laugh with their keepsakes.
  • You want a made-to-order gift: Because each print is created to order, it feels more personal than a mass-produced item—just allow up to a week for processing.
  • You need a standard frame size: Both 11" x 14" and 16" x 20" are easy to frame, so you can gift it ready to hang without custom costs.
  • You’re celebrating Mother’s Day or a birthday: The message and title make it a natural mother’s day art print gift or birthday surprise.

What to keep in mind before you buy

The supplied information doesn’t specify matting, glazing, or hanging hardware, so if you need those details, check the product page or contact the studio. The print itself is on textured paper and comes unframed—framing is your choice. Also note the processing time: up to one week before shipping, so order early if you’re working toward a specific date.

If you’re considering a signed version, remember that the signature is part of the print, not a separate certificate. That’s fine for most gift-givers, but if she’s a serious collector, you may want to confirm details with the studio.
