Mother’s Day is just around the corner…so if you haven’t picked up a present for Mom yet, why not try one of these easy handmade (and budget-friendly) gifts for her? DIY with love and have fun!
“A mother understands what a child does not say.” – Jewish proverb
o Cook Mom’s favorite breakfast.
She’ll definitely love it!
o Or surprise her with a special home-cooked brunch with the family.
“The family that eats together, stays together”!
o Gift her with a photo board.
Create a nice memory board of some of her most favorite photos using whatever you have at home (e.g., reusable cardboard/pinboard, pins, scrap papers, colored pens, watercolor, etc).
“Your memory feels like home to me. So whenever my mind wanders, it always finds its way back to you.” ― Ranata Suzuki
o Give her a bouquet of fresh flowers from your garden.
You can arrange them in her favorite vase or any reusable glass bottle/jar/tin can that you can decorate with some scrap papers, colored paint pens and twine, or you can neatly bundle the flowers together with a nice reusable ribbon/twine/wrapping paper/kraft paper that you already have around the house – so lovely!
o Make/bake Mom’s favorite dessert.
A lovely dessert sweetened with your TLC!
o Give her a well-deserved pampering.
Set up her room with a nicely-scented aromatherapy oil (what’s her fave scent?) and give her a relaxing massage (she deserves some pampering!).
“A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s.” – Princess Diana
