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!
For the Moms that need help slowing down and taking time for themselves, these recipes help encourage "me time".
For the Mom who loves fragrance, these perfume and room fresheners are as wonderful as they are easy to make.
