This year, Mother’s Day will be celebrated on May 11, 2025. As always, it is a perfect time to remind mothers around the world of their importance and show gratitude to any mother figures for all the things she’s done for you. With this in mind, The Gamut has curated some unique DIY gifts that you can prepare to make this day a little bit more special.
- Coupon Booklet
As an all-time creative and affordable gift, this DIY coupon booklet can be completely customized for your mother’s preferences. For the perfect coupon booklet, brainstorm some ideas that you could include that your mother would actually enjoy and use. Some ideas include a free massage, cleaning the house, doing chores, buying a small gift, a free hug, and more. To upgrade the standard booklet, decorate the cover and tie it all up in a ribbon for the best presentation.
- Breakfast in Bed
For this classic gift, don’t just plan to prepare a typical, standard breakfast-in-bed; go all out for your mother and adorn the tray with handmade paper flowers in a vase. Try cooking some popular and easy breakfast recipes like breakfast waffles or pancakes with a side of cream and fruit, or something more hearty like soup and bread. Whatever it is you make, your mom will truly be grateful and pleased. After you channel your inner-cook, make sure to clean up after yourself!
- String Art
String art is a great gift for those who like to be creative with their hands. Find a simple design that you want to trace with string (ex. an outline of you and your mom) and poke needles around the borders of the design. After, get different colored strings to start your masterpiece. Simply criss-cross the string around the borders of the design to fill in the gap with color. For the experts, you can add several colors of strings to differentiate the different parts of the image.
- Mother’s Day Cookie Set
Cookies are beloved by all, and your mom is surely to love them if you baked them especially for her. Grab a pretty tin box (or any box for that matter), and line it up with wax paper for a clean surface. Bake some of your mom’s favorite cookies (chocolate chip is always a safe option) and line them up carefully in the box. Add sprinkles and edible glitter for the aesthetic, and pop in some chocolates in the gaps between the cookies. After your hard work, you’ll have a wonderful treat for your mom!
- Personalized Jewelry Box
Personalized jewelry boxes are not just meaningful, they can be used for a long time. Go to a local craft store and grab a plain jewelry box (The Gamut recommends the wooden ones). Next, paint and decorate the boxes to your heart’s desire, making sure to add touches in the design that your mom would appreciate. After that’s all done, finish the present by adding a small gift inside–a beautiful necklace or bracelet bought just for her.
There are countless different ways to express your love for your mom, and these are just a few of the methods to express your gratitude. As Mother’s Day rapidly approaches, The Gamut advises that you get an early start on these gifts to make them the very best possible for your mom.
