Mums Would Love to Capture a Hug

London, United Kingdom, March 20, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A poll released today has revealed that the British Mums would capture and keep their children’s hugs if they could.

The survey, carried out by PhotoBox.co.uk – the UK and Europe’s number one online community for photo printing and personal publishing - asked Mums* what is the one thing about their children they wish they could capture, as easily as a photograph. 41% of Mums cited the feeling of their child’s hug as the most treasured moment, with a close-run 36% opting for the sound of their child’s laugh.

The poll also revealed other top moments treasured by Mums, including: knowing what your child is thinking, the sound of them sleeping, heir smell, seeing them grow confident and happy, the way they run to you when school finishes and their sense of humour.

PhotoBox is offering a range of personalised Mother’s Day gifts including mugs, designer Mothers Day cards and collage prints, with the option of: adding a delightful design, pictures of Mum, family portraits, photos of the kids, even a cheeky message or inspiring quote, ideal for that personalised gift this Mother’s Day.
