25+ Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Every Mom Will Love

1. DIY Photo Frame Flower Display

How gorgeous is this flower display? Made by Josy’s Crafts, you’d never know it was handmade, and you’ll be surprised by how EASY it is to make this gift. Best of all, it’s personalized with photos or handprints from family.

Check out Josys Crafts’ great video tutorial that walks you through the steps of making this gift:

You’ll need a few basic supplies: faux flowers, chalk paint, adhesive, photo frames and floral foam to stick the flowers into.

2. Rose Gift Basket

I love this gift basket idea because it’s filled with things Mom will love:

A mug with tea bags
Burt’s Bees soap, lotion and other personal care items
Gardening gloves
A rose plant
Songbird feeder

Place all of the items in a cute, galvanized bucket and add a card.

3. Pressed Flower Lanterns

Looking for crafty Mother’s Day gift ideas? Here’s a gift she’ll love: pressed flower lanterns. It’s SO easy to make, and the results are beautiful.

You’ll need just a few items: Mod Podge, small mason jar, tealight candle, pressed flowers, jute string and a couple of brushes to apply the Mod Podge.

4. Potted Herb Gift

If your mom loves to cook with herbs or gardening, she’ll love this gift. It’s thoughtful but so simple. Just find a mug that she’ll love and grab her favorite herb plant. Your local nursery or garden center should have what you need.

Plant the herb in the mug and add a card. You may need a little extra potting soil if you have a larger mug.

It’s a super easy gift but beautiful and useful.

5. Coffee Cup Craft

This Mother’s Day gift is perfect for the kids to make, and Mom will adore it. It’s a paper coffee mug that she can spin around to see all of the reasons why she’s loved.

Crafty Morning provides the PDF template you’ll need to make this craft. You’ll also need some colored pencils or crayons, scissors, glue stick, paper cups and an Exacto knife.

6. Handprint Jewelry Dish

Handmade keepsake gifts like this are perfect for Mother’s Day. Mom will treasure it and use it all the time, especially if she loves to wear jewelry.

You’ll need to get the kids involved, but they’ll have fun making this gift. You’ll need polyform clay, a clay roller, glass cutting mat, clay tools, paint, a bake-safe bowl and a few other items.

Rhythms of Play walks you through the steps of making this dish.

7. Cricut Mother’s Day Gift Basket

If you have a Cricut machine, you can make this Mother’s Day gift basket extra special. Sugarcoated Housewife shares four projects that you can make with your Cricut and add to your basket:

A Mother’s Day card
A “Best Mom Ever” mug
Socks with a cute saying on the soles
Labels for a few DIY beauty products (sugar scrubs and eye patches)

Add all of your items to a cute basket and add a few other little items, like bath bombs or plants, to complete the gift.

8. Personalized Vase

Flowers are one of the most traditional Mother’s Day gift ideas, but you can personalize this gift by placing them in a custom vase. To make this gift, you’ll need a Cricut machine, Cricut vinyl, a glass vase and other basic crafting supplies.

Gingersnap Crafts shares the design file for this craft, but you can make up your own design if you want.

Once you’ve made your vase, the only thing left to do is find flowers that she’ll love.

9. Gardening Gift Basket

This gift basket is perfect for moms who love gardening. I love that they transformed a garden hose into a basket to hold all of the little gifts.

You can fill your garden basket with whatever you want, but some great options include seeds, gardening gloves, a garden shovel, hose sprayer, and a potted plant.

10. Handprint Flower Pot

Looking for a fun DIY gift that the kids can make for Mother’s Day? This flower pot craft is perfect. You’ll need just a few things: a small flower pot, paint, sponge paint brush, black paint pen, Mod Podge, a plant and of course, your little one’s hands to make the handprints.

11. Honey Oatmeal Handmade Soap

Handmade soap is a special gift. If you’re putting together a Mother’s Day basket, you can add this soap as an extra little gift, or you can give a few bars wrapped up nicely with a card.

Hartnana has a few recipes for different soaps, so you can choose whichever one Mom will love.

12. Pressed Flower Wall Art

Handmade pressed flower wall art is such a thoughtful gift for Mom, and you can even have the kids make this gift.

You can press your own flowers, or you can purchase pressed flowers if you’re short on time. Aside from the flowers, you’ll also need a glue gun and a frame to put the flower display in.

13. Raspberry Lemon Sugar Scrub

Give Mom the gift of pampering with this homemade sugar scrub. You need just a few items to make this: coconut oil, sugar, raspberry extract and lemon essential oil. You can add food coloring if you like, but it’s not necessary.

Add this scrub to a gift basket or wrap it up to make it your main gift.

14. Vanilla Cupcake Flower Bouquet

Flowers only last a few days, but this cupcake bouquet will satisfy her sweet tooth. It’s easier than you think to make these cupcakes from scratch. To make your “bouquet,” you’ll need a small flower pot, round floral foam, toothpicks and frosting for the cupcakes.

15. “I Love My Mummy” Keepsake

Keepsake Mother’s Day gift ideas are perfect when you have a newborn where you can add their little foot or handprints to the item. You can go in any direction you like here, or you can choose one of these kits that make it so easy to create this gift.

16. Last Minute Mason Jar Gift

If time slipped away from you, this last-minute gift is a great option. You only need a mason jar to start, and then fill it with goodies Mom will love, such as:

Candies
Makeup
Movie tickets
Gift cards
Etc.

17. Crochet Flowers

I would love to receive this gift myself. How cute is this crochet flowerpot? You’ll find the pattern by following the Pin above. Amazon has a great beginner set with yarn, hooks and everything you need to get started with basic crochet projects.

18. Mother’s Day Arch Plaque

Wooden, engraved plaques are a great option. Mom can even put this plaque in her room or office. You can use a wood burning kit to engrave anything you wish into the plaque. Add stain or sealant if the plaque you choose is unfinished.

19. Custom Plate

Every time Mom eats, she can think of her kids with a custom plate. You can find epoxy resin that you can use, or you can use paints and then a sealer. Be sure to search for food safe and dishwasher safe options.

You can also add sentimental things, such as a child’s handprint or a few special words from you to Mom.

20. “Mug” Basket

Moms love anything that is thoughtful. A mug basket with all of the goodies she loves will be a nice treat. You can opt for a few items and, of course, add your own twist to things, too:

Large mug
Candies
Fake flowers
Small heart balloon

21. DIY Cutting Board

Cutting boards can be customized with your favorite wood burning, too, and it’s far easier to do than a lot of people expect. With a wood burning kit, you’ll have the tools necessary to burn anything you want into the cutting board:

Quotes
Children’s names
Birthdays
Recipes
Etc.

22. Children’s Art Tea Towel

One of the Mother’s Day gift ideas that will make mom smile ear to ear is a children’s art towel. You can switch out a towel for a shirt, too. The idea is simple:

Take your child’s artwork
Trace the drawing with a market

Or, if you want, you can also digitize the artwork and have it printed.

23. DIY Shower Steamers

Shower steamers are a nice way for mom to “spoil herself.” A little “me time” on Mother’s Day is always warranted. You’ll find that the recipe is easy to follow, and you’ll need quite a few ingredients that you likely don’t have, such as Mica, arrowroot powder and lavender buds – to name a few.

And if you don’t have a good assortment of essential oils, you’ll find this one on Amazon has 30 scents.

24. Custom Shirts, Towels – Anything You Want

SVGs can be found on Etsy and countless other places that allow you to easily print sweet quotes or sayings for mom on t-shirts, towels or any other items you wish. If you have a Cricut machine, you can even make the prints yourself.

25. Hand Sculpture

Luna Bean sells an amazing hand casting kit that allows you to cast up to six hands comfortably. You can cast the hands of you and any siblings that you have and give them to Mom as a gift.

Of course, you don’t want to ruin the surprise by telling Mom about the kit, but you can keep some of the molding powder and other materials to let her make a mold of her hand, too.

26. Breakfast in Bed

Trust me when I say this – Mom will love this gift. She works hard, and breakfast in bed is a great way to say, “thank you.” Pancakes are a great option (great recipe here), but you can make her whatever her favorite breakfast may be.

And if you follow the link in the Pin, you’ll also find a nice, printable card that you can write in.
