Trying to figure out what to get your mom this Mother’s Day and running out of ideas? There are loads of ways you can get creative and make gifts for her that will cost you less and mean just as much to her heart. Today I’m sharing with you some great ways to get creative this Mother’s Day and make your own gifts, as well as a recipe to try!
Get Creative This Mother’s Day
Cook Something
If you’re not able to or simply don’t want to take your mother out to eat, you can bring the food to her! Cooking can be really easy depending on what foods you choose to make, maybe make her breakfast or a great dinner.
Customize Items
If you’re not super creative or artistically inclined, you can simply upgrade already bought items with a little work. Maybe paint on a key chain, make photo collages, or make her a cute trinket box from decorating a plain one.

Plants
If your mother has a favorite plant or flower, maybe try to grow one for a gift she can continue growing. You can also make the planter look pretty with paint or other decorations, and there are tons of options to grow for her.
Handmade Bath Supplies
If you have the time, you can make bath accessories or self care items like bath salts, bath bombs, shower steamers, and more. There are tons of easy recipes and tutorials you can find for customized ideas that don’t cost a ton.
Bake Something
If your mom has a sweet tooth, baking can be a great option! You can make desserts for Mother’s Day, a gift basket with different baked goods, or her favorite treat. It’s fun to bake, and the results are delicious enough to be perfect gifts.
Help Out
Mother’s Day gifts don’t have to be big. You could help out by cleaning up the house, getting her out of the house for fresh air, or just doing something thoughtful that makes her day better. It’ll mean so much.
Crafts
There are absolutely endless crafts out there that you can create with anything from just paper to more extensive supplies, and they’re all perfect ideas for Mother’s Day. Maybe include family photos in crafts or create custom mugs for her coffee.
Hopefully, these ideas can give you somewhere to start, and maybe some ideas for more than just this year. Getting creative can be an awesome way to make a more personalized gift for Mother’s Day and it’s often less expensive than most gifts.
