25+ DIY Gifts for Mother's Day

Gift basket filled with homemade gifts.

Each year when Mother's Day rolls around, I seek gifts that will make Mom feel loved and appreciated. I also aim to get her gifts that she will actually use. You would think I'd have it down to a science by now, but as May rolls around each year, finding the right gift seems to get even harder. Maybe it's because the older I get, the more I appreciate my Mom and want her to know that, or maybe it's that I've gifted her so many things over the years that I want it to be different. What I do know is that she most enjoys my homemade gestures of love. She knows I took my time to make her something, tailored it to her preferences, and created things she can use instead of things that will collect dust or create clutter. 

I know I am not alone in this, so I thought I could help by sharing a list of my favorite homemade gift ideas. Wishing all of the mother figures out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!
