Fun and creative handmade gifts for Mom that she will absolutely LOVE!
Spring has finally sprung again and you know what that means … Mother’s Day! I don’t know about you but after all these years I never know what to give my Mom and of course she always says that she doesn’t need anything.
In case you’re in the same predicament, I went in search of some creative and cool handmade gifts that your Mom and mine would absolutely fall in love with.
It’s so easy to get her something I know she will like (chocolates and flowers anyone?) but it’s boring. And since I live in Kentucky, I usually send my Mom a Derby Pie but I think she might be tired of those, too.
There are all kinds of great DIY gifts to make including beautiful handmade jewelry … I love the birdnest necklace.
Or, if your mom is into bath bombs and scented scrubs, you can find those how-tos here as well. How about Lemon Raspberry Curd … yum! Hopefully, you will find just the right gift to make for your Mom.
