When I was a little girl, there was a Mother's Day gift shop at my elementary school. (Metrowest Elementary in Orlando, Florida. I attended from 2004 to 2007.)
I bought this little cherub figurine for my mom - it had blue hair, a drum, and was sitting on the letter L. I believe there were lots of alphabet cherub figurines available but I could only afford one. So I bought the L figurine to symbolize love. We've always joked about how sad that was, haha.
I've been scouring the internet trying to find these figurines, hoping to finish the word love (as another Mother's Day present), but I cannot seem to find them anywhere.
I even contacted the school, wondering if they kept any record of who they did business with. Perhaps they got those gifts from a catalog of some kind? Or maybe the worked with a local Hallmark store? Unfortunately, I have not gotten a response, and at this point, any information would be helpful. :)

I couldn't find this exact item either. But you likely could find a set of cherub holiday ornaments and glue them to block letters for a similar gift. Lightweight figures if affixing to wood letters for hanging, or heavier ones if affixing, say, to a set of two alphabet book ends or stocking hangers for example.
If I were you I would buy letters at a store like Michaels and got glue cherubs to them.
Couldn't find any to match your Cherub figurine...but these may be a an option:

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and for sharing these options with me!
Gift shops usually always buy from manufacturers' catalogs and they have to purchase a large quantity of each item to be able to purchase wholesale. The number usually starts at 100 and these catalogs go to thousands of gift shops around the world.
One like this would be very difficult to find but there are lots of really cute cherubs in all kinds of poses available online.
Etsy has the biggest collection.
I think these two examples are some of the best:
Perhaps the ones to hang on the wall may be more suitable?

Hope you find something that you know your Mother will love.

I think these A to Z Angels/Cherubs Alphabet Letters are the most similar
You can buy the letters you need for AU $5.95, approximately US $4.15 each.
I think these cherub letters will help you to finish the word "LOVE":
