Whether you’re trying to come up with gift ideas for a lady who has everything, or you need to save money, yet still show you care, homemade Mother’s Day gifts really fit the bill. Here are 8 ideas for things you can make yourself this Mother’s Day.
1- Decorate Your Own Ceramics: Decorating ceramic mugs, egg cups or plates is a good idea if you want a memorable and unique gift. You could choose a decorating kit, though it isn’t too hard to create your own decorated ceramics without one. Simply buy plain white items and some ceramic paint, or a sharpie oil based paint pen which won’t fade as much as a regular sharpie pen. Here’s one from A Bubbly Life that I absolutely adore. 
2- Create A Scrapbook: A scrapbook is one of the most personal homemade Mother’s Day gifts you can give. Whether you want to commemorate a specific event in her life, or simply want to fill it with photographs, mementos and anecdotes of your relationship, your mom will absolutely love the effort you put into this gift! All About Mom did this cute little album! 
3- Help Her Out: Doing things for her may not be physical homemade Mother’s Day gifts, but they will mean a lot to your mom. If you still live with her this could mean doing the chores for a certain amount of time. If not then you could go around to her place to fix those shelves she’s needed for a while, help her plant some new plants in the garden, mow the lawn and so on. If you want to give a physical gift then create small “IOU” cards with a list of the different chores you’ll do for her. Photo Courtesy: Parenting All Women Stalk
4– Photo Mugs: Choose a good family photo for the basis of this homemade gift. Simply search online and choose a service that will create personalized mugs out of the photographs you provide! Although it may not be technically homemade, it’s very close! I love going to Zazzle because they have great personalization service! 
5- Bake A Cake: If your mom has a sweet tooth then it makes sense to bake her a cake for Mother’s Day! And, when you give it to her, use it as the perfect excuse to sit down together, eat cake and have a nice chat! Something simple like this one from Pizzazzerie is super cute!
6- Homemade Soap and Candles: You can buy your own soap or candle making kits for a unique and homemade gift for Mother’s Day. If this sounds too difficult, then you could simply buy some plain candles and decorate them with embellishments, or combine them with other gifts. Garden Therapy has some great DIY recipes that uses all natural ingredients!
7- Cook Her Dinner: Spending time with your mom is better than any gift you could buy from the store. So why not go with this theme and organize a dinner at home? Make all of her favorite dishes and spend some good quality time together. Check out some of our Recipes, and see if you can find a delectable dish! Be sure to throw in some table decor to make it extra special! Photo Courtesy: Eat Well 101.
8- Memories: A unique gift idea is to put together a box of memories. Have a good sort through your house to find old photos, things you’ve written, gifts you may have given or received… anything that makes you think of her and a special occasion you spent together. You’ll have plenty to talk about when you visit her for Mother’s Day. Get creative with DIY Beautiful Home photo box. 
Homemade Mother’s Day gifts are more time consuming than buying something for your mom. However, they’ll also mean a lot more to her too!
