Free Mother's Day Portrait + NYC Makeup Mirror — April 29–30 at Century 21 NYC
April 22, 2026
Bring a photo of mom. Walk out with a keepsake she'll actually keep.
This Wednesday, April 29 and Thursday, April 30, Century 21 NYC is hosting a Mother's Day event built around the one thing mom really wants — something personal. Shop anywhere in the store, spend $30 or more, and walk out with two free gifts: a custom illustrated Mother's Day portrait drawn by an artist on the spot, and a New York-themed makeup mirror (first 75 customers each day).
No appointment. No catch. Just shop, show your receipt, show a photo of mom — and get both gifts before you leave.
Two Free Gifts. One Visit. Zero Reasons to Skip It.
Bring a phone photo of mom, grandma, stepmom, or anyone you're celebrating. An artist will draw them into a one-of-a-kind Century 21 NYC scene — complete with the iconic C21 storefront, a yellow taxi, and shopping bags.
Free with any $30+ purchase. Done on the spot. No appointment needed.
A New York-themed makeup mirror — a little piece of NYC to give to mom (or keep for yourself). Perfect for her handbag, her vanity, or the trip home.
Free with any $30+ purchase. First 75 customers each day. 150 total. While supplies last.
Both gifts. One $30 purchase. That's a designer beauty set, a silk scarf, a pair of Levi's, a Missoni beanie, or a perfume — any of which already costs less at Century 21 NYC than anywhere else in Manhattan. Stack a custom portrait and an NYC keepsake on top, and you've got a Mother's Day gift no generic brunch reservation can match.
How It Works
It's simple. Four steps, start to finish, under fifteen minutes.
1. Shop anywhere at Century 21 NYC and spend $30 or more.
2. Head to the portrait station on the main floor with your receipt.
3. Show the artist a photo of mom or the person you're celebrating — a phone photo works perfectly.
4. The artist draws your loved one into a custom C21 NYC scene while you wait. The first 75 customers each day also grab a free New York-themed makeup mirror at the register.
Each portrait is personalized with the recipient's name and a "Happy Mother's Day!" message. It's the kind of gift that makes someone feel seen — the kind that gets framed, posted, and kept long after the flowers wilt.
Who You Can Celebrate
This event isn't just for moms. It's for anyone who's been a mother figure in your life — anyone who deserves something thoughtful, personal, and made just for them.
If they've shown up for you, you can show up for them. Bring the photo — we'll handle the rest.
Why This Event Is Worth the Trip
Mother's Day is one of the biggest shopping moments of the year — and it's also the hardest to get right. A bouquet dies in a week. A card gets tossed. A candle burns out. A custom illustration of your mom, drawn by a real artist, into a scene that's unmistakably New York? That gets framed and hung.
Century 21 NYC already sells designer and brand-name clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty, and home goods at up to 65% below retail, every day. Spending $30 here isn't a stretch — it's a steal. This event layers two free, personal gifts on top of prices that are already the best in the city. You won't find this combination anywhere else in Manhattan. Two days only.
