Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8. Are you ready to surprise the special moms in your life with gifts they will treasure?  Making an impression this Mother’s Day doesn’t have to cost a lot. Chances are if you asked any mom about their most memorable Mother’s Day gift she would not mention fancy jewelry or electronics.  It would probably be something like a thoughtful letter, a poignant photo, or a heartfelt, handmade gift.
The best Mother’s Day gifts are made with love. This year, make your mom smile with these easy and inexpensive DIY ideas and show her how much she means to you.

  1. Mother’s Day Questionnaire– These printable, fill-in-the blank questionnaires give little ones an opportunity to share their thoughts about mom, grandma, and aunt. Let the children answer the questions on their own – you might enjoy a good laugh at their responses!
  2. Salt Dough Handprint Frame– This craft is a new take on the classic salt dough handprint. Mix up a salt dough using flour, salt and water, make a handprint, cut out a heart, and glue in a photo. This is a precious keepsake any mom will adore.
  3. Footprint butterfly flower pot– What’s better than flowers on Mother’s Day?  A handmade – or rather a “foot”made – flower pot decorated with your child’s footprints.  The perfect present for the gardener!

  7. Lemon Sugar Scrub– Pamper mom with a homemade lemon sugar scrub. This delightfully smelling scrub cleans, exfoliates and moisturizes the skin and can be made with just three ingredients.
  8. Fingerprint Flower Bag– This tote bag is not only sweet, it is a gift that can be used and reused every day for going to the store, park, work, and more.  It is also so easy to make using fabric paint and markers.
