Mom deserves the very best, don’t you think? Yes, I’m mostly saying that because I’m a mom. BUT STILL. You know how I love me some handmade gifts. And every time I turn around there are more awesome ideas floating around the internet for DIY gifts for mom. So I’ve rounded up some of my…
Disclosure: I received some items free of charge to review from UncommonGoods in order to write this post. However, all opinions are my own. Let’s face it, no two moms are alike. And my mom might not like a photo calendar with my kid’s faces plastered all over it, and your mom might not love…
Here we go again! My favorite options for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are homemade gifts. Not only because it saves money, but it also (usually) makes for a more meaningful and heartfelt gift (unless you have a “nailed it” internet meme moment).
Still scrambling for a Mother’s Day gift to give mom on Sunday? Don’t fret, I’ve pulled together some great last-minute ideas that will make you look like you actually planned ahead!
Some you can make at home, and others will require a quick trip to a local store. Either way, there’s still time to make mom feel special!
Here are some of my favorite last-minute Mother’s Day gift ideas:
So because I’m in my own little world, it wasn’t until Tuesday morning when I woke up and starting checking my social media streams that I realized it was National Teacher Appreciation Day… oops. So I dropped my daughter off at Preschool and started brainstorming what I could pull together to bring with me three hours later when I picked her up.
In searching for “teacher appreciation gifts” on Pinterest, I came across a plant and tag that said “thanks for helping me grow…” and my wheels began to turn.
Mother’s Day is on its way, which means it’s time for another round-up of DIY gift ideas! I’ve seen some really great ones lately that I am excited to feature.
I particularly love the new take on the family tree made of butterflies, and the DIY clay pots for succulents – something I have never done, but it looks easy enough that I think I might try it!
Every holiday seems like a whirlwind, and by the time you remember to pick up your camera, the kids are just about ready for bed (at least that’s what always happens to me). I find it super helpful to have a checklist handy before going into the day so that I will remember to get some decent photos BEFORE the kids are covered in food and dirt and I looked disheveled and drooled on.
I’ve been working on quite a few new shop designs for Mother’s Day and am having so much fun with them!
I love creating products to honor someone we love; it’s easy to draw inspiration and I know that they will be meaningful to the recipient, which makes it all the more worth it.
That being said, I like poking some fun at my mom too, as evidenced by my “casserole” card below.
Mother’s Day is going to be here before we know it… it always seems to happen that way, doesn’t it?
I’ve been working on some Mother’s Day cards for my { Etsy Shop } and am pretty excited about this little “Reasons Why I Love You” series that I created. Most of the reasons were inspired by my own mother… (with the exception of the laundry one, of course).
Here’s a little snippet from our Mother’s Day dinner on Sunday. We decided to take the morning to celebrate Mother’s Day at home and then meet up with our moms for a joint dinner at night. It ended up being perfect; I got spoiled during the day, and then we got to focus on our mommas later in the day. I would also highly recommend Mother’s Day dinner over brunch to save a few $$!
I realize I am wearing the same dress as I featured in last week’s What I Wore Wednesday post, but give me some credit for switching out the cowboy boots for some flats and adding a leather jacket! My options for dressing up are limited at this point in pregnancy…
In my hair, I wore the same ruffle fascinator that I wore to my baby shower, although you can’t see it in any of the photos.
