The days are brighter and longer and I’m thriving! A few weeks ago, I was completely confused and thought Mother’s Day moved this year. I later found out that some countries in the world have a different date of Mother’s Day! I honestly almost panicked because I thought I had forgotten all about it.

For this post, I was thinking of doing a standard gift guide with a bunch of affiliate links to some things that I’m thinking about getting my mom this year but I think as a DIY blogger, I would be a 20+ DIY Mother’s Day Gift Guide round-up post on some gifts to hand-make!

DIY Mother's Day Gift Guide - Pin 1

I’ve embedded a bunch of pins of crafts and handmade gifts that I love. I’m looking to start a new craft soon too so this is totally all my inspo!

Is Mother’s Day coming for you or is it done for this year? I’d love to know below!

HERE are 20+ DIY Mother’s Day Gift Guide:

DIY Potted Herb Gift

I’ve actually been wanting to get into planting some herbs in the garden and I think these ones are super cute for those who don’t have a lot of space too! Herbs in the grocery store can definitely add up and also be wasteful if you don’t need that much but have no choice but to get the whole bunch.

Here’s some materials you need to get started:

Macrame

Macramé wall hangings were one of the first things I purchased when I moved into our current place. The only thing I regret is not buying it locally or making it myself! I took the easy route and bought it from Amazon BUT they do look incredible so I’m happy to keep them.

  1. Oh these are all such good ideas. I lost my mom this past October so this Mothers Day will be a bit weird. I use to get her a GC to a salon and then my sister and I would take her out for brunch though not in 2020. Lovely ideas here.

  2. thank you for this! such great ideas! 🙂

    xoxo, rae

  3. These are all great ideas! I loved making DIY gifts while I was back home, not much now as i don’t have the same space. Macramé wall hanging and chunk knit blankets for the win! I really wanted to get started on a blanket, but as you said, when you add all the yarn it gets a bit pricey. But I mean, the pressed flower and resin tray, yes please! Thanks for sharing x

  4. I love this gift guide, how cute!! Also, that flower frame is just way too cute!

  5. Love all the suggestions here! I’m thinking my mom would love the macreme and the potted plants. Thanks for idea!

  7. Such a creative list Lynn! Macrame wall hanging reminds me of primary school. Id actually macrame’d my mom a flower pot hanger as a gift. I wonder if I still have the knack? And that lavender scrub! A couple of winners there!

  8. Oo, some lovely and spring-themed mother’s day gift ideas! Loving the herb pots and especially the photo planter box. It is a bonus that you have an abundance of easily handmade items here too; something made with love means that much more. <3

  9. I love when you do the DIY posts! These are amazing ideas! The Elvis Parsley pot made me laugh more than I should admit. I am going to be busy this month making stuff for my mom and for me. Thanks for sharing all these great ideas Lynn. ?

    1. Aw, that is so sweet! My parents live in a small apartment but my mom loves planting some herbs so I’m going to set her up a little station with a few of them! Thank you for stopping by, Tiffany x

  15. All of these ideas are amazing – I adore DIY gifts (and so does my mum) so that’s typically what I go for. You’ve given lots of fantastic ideas I’m a big fan of Coffee Scrub Soap & Lemon Candles! Thanks for sharing this 🙂

  16. You’ve included some great options here! I love the emergency candy stash haha… Especially with our province moving into a stay at home order again this week for another month. I feel like a lot of mothers could use that emergency candy stash as they are trying to navigate working at home and everything else all over again. I have a good friend that makes me homemade bath bombs and other bath supplies each year for Christmas and I always love receiving them.

  17. I love all these gift ideas. My mother loves plants and I know she would love that. Thank for sharing these awesome Mother’s Day gift ideas.

  18. Thanks for putting this great list together. I love giving my mom gifts on Mother’s Day. And while it’s great to go out and get something nice, I think it’s so much more meaningful and intimate to create something and personalize it for her. These are fantastic ideas – I can’t wait to try them out!

  19. I love the wreath and my mom would love it too! We like to put up a new wreath each holiday/season. Most of them were made by my mom. She would probably love it if I made one for her for a change. Thank you for all of the ideas!

  20. I love all these ideas! They are each different and unique and that’s what I love. I’m tired of the typical mothers day gift that we see in stores or online. Creating something that truly comes from the heart says so much more. Thanks for sharing.

This is just what I needed to read! P.S. your website is so calming and pretty too look at. It’s like self care just visiting and reading your posts. Awesome job Lynn! Keep it up!

    1. Right! I might do the scrabble one as my mom loves scrabble! Thank you so much for your kind words! You are one of the few people who get me motivated to be a Content Creator! This world is so cruel and challenging at times but every time I read something from you, a rush of relief comes to me! You are an angel on Earth! No words can describe how blessed I am to have crossed paths with you <3
