If you’re buying for a “sentimental” or “nostalgic” mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, or friend, you might consider creating a 3D gift from Shapeways.  This company takes me back to the days where I’d paint, draw, or sculpt for my mom in school (don’t you just love high school art and ceramics?) with more flair and modern technology.  Here is a little more information about the company from the site:

Shapeways is a place where you can create custom 3D gifts, such as a light poem with your own words/poem/thoughts, or a set of napkin rings personalized for your mom for mother’s day!

The process (from what I’ve heard) is simple.  Upload your design and the company prints and ships it to you within ten working days.  There are a variety of options including uploading your own designs or purchasing 3D artists’ designs.  Choose from a Lightpoem, Ringpoem, Lightsculpture and more!  This video actually explains the process really well:

Win It! One of you will win a $25 gift certificate to Shapeways (please note that you may not receive the actual design in time for Mother’s Day).  Simply head on over to the site and take a look around.  Come back here and leave me a comment with the name of a gift from the gallery that you’d like for that special mother in your life.  Comments will close on May 6, 2009 at 10 PM PST (please note the short timeline).  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit). US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner.
