10 Handmade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Do you like making homemade gifts for people you love?  I love giving and receiving creative gifts, and if you do too, I’ve got you covered with ten handmade Mother’s Day gift ideas!

If your mom’s a coffee drinker, a knit cashmere cup cozy makes a classy gift.  You could embellish it with a piece of meaningful vintage jewelry, add a knit rosette, or leave it plain.  Take it up a notch by pairing it with a gift card to a favorite local coffee shop.

Don’t all moms need a little time to relax?  Give your mom a spa in a jar.  Simply gather up all Mom’s favorite pampering items, add some DIY spa treatments, and decorate the jar with the free printable included in the post. 

An etched monogrammed pendant makes a beautiful present and is simple enough even for a last minute gift.  You can never go wrong with a monogram, right?

Linen spray always sound luxurious and now you can make your own scented linen spray with this tutorial.  Kids can pair a bottle of linen spray with a homemade coupon for naptime for Mom!

A velvet bookmark would make a sweet gift for an avid reader.  Wouldn’t vintage velvet or vintage embellishments make these special?  And better yet if you can find a classic copy of one of Mom’s favorite books to tuck the bookmark inside.

Encourage your mom to pamper herself a little with a jar of homemade honey brown sugar scrub …

… or whip up a cute and colorful ruffled apron for the mom that loves to spend time in the kitchen.  Gift it along with a new cookbook or some cute new kitchen utensils.

Fragrant mint soap is a thoughtful gift and even better when it’s made in a cute mold.

Or, if you’ve got a mother who loves to garden and craft, give her a mint plant, soap molds, and the recipe for the soap and let her create her own!

You could stitch up a sleep mask and package it with a new pair of slippers or a cute nightgown …

… or make a teacup candle in a vintage teacup for a pretty and decorative gift.  A local thrift store is the perfect place to find inexpensive cups to use.

Whatever you choose to give, I’m sure Mom will love the heartfelt gift.
