Top 10 Tuesday: Handmade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is a very special day and it’s less than a week away! Last year, Baby E’s dedication fell on Mother’s Day so all my attention went to my little girl’s special day. So this year I need to step it up on the Mother’s Day gifts! I’m hoping to make some very special gifts this year for the grandmas but I have yet to make a decision. Have I told you before that I am horribly indecisive?

So to help me get inspired, I’m sharing Top 10 Handmade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas!

1. Personalized step stool from Brown Paper Packages. What a great way to capture a moment in time with your kids!

2. Sentimental Jewelry Box from One Day When I Have Time.

3. Cute Free Mother’s Day Printable from Positively Splendid!  Such a sweet and simple gift for a special day.

4. DIY makeup pouch! You can view the whole tutorial over at Happy in Red.

5. This beautiful floral arrangement was made with a spray painted mason jar. Love the fresh spring look from Meija Mamma!

6. And if your momma likes something sweet try making this beautiful cookies seen on Lizy B.

7. Charming DIY watering can from Crafty Scrappy Happy for the mom who likes to garden.

8. Isn’t this saying so true?! Wonderful printable from Crafty Texas Girls.

9. Homemade body scrub with free printable. You can get the full recipe from Poofy Cheeks!

10. And after you make your cute gift, you need a pretty box to put it in! A Pumpkin and a Princess shows you how to make these sweet gift boxes.

Are you doing handmade Mother’s Day gifts this year? What are you making?

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
