Handmade Mothers Day gifts are an all-time favorite with moms everywherewith a handmade gift, it doesnt matter how much money you spend but rather how much thought you put into making it. Handmade gifts are especially good if you have small children. What you need to be successful is mainly a little bit of creativity. The project will be a lot of fun as children and their fathers try to make the perfect gift for the number one person in their lives. This process is one way to ensure that your mom gets a unique gift.

An always popular handmade gift is a bouquet crystals, pebbles, and potpourri. The first two are easily available and inexpensive. Making potpourri is simple. All you need are different types of dried flowers.

Getting your mother her favorite plant in a pot is also a very popular gift. You could also make her a hanger for the pot. To make the hanger, all you need is a milk carton, a sharp pair of scissors, and some paint. Cut some windows on the top of the carton, paint it, add your plant to the bottom of the carton, and hang it using string. Voila! Your hanging potted plant is ready!

If you know to knit or sew, you can make your mom anything a sweater, a top, cushion covers, quilts, etc. Just make sure you start on your project well ahead of time so that you dont have to rush it. You could also take photographs of your family or your mom when she was young and put them into a photo frame, make her an album, create a collage or even use the pictures in quilts, throws and cushion covers.

If youve run out of money and time, there is another option for an excellent gift. You can give your mom coupons and IOUs she can cash in whenever she wishes. Through your coupons, you can volunteer your services for household chores. For instance, your coupon could be a promise to wash and dry the dishes, set the table, clean the house, do the laundry, etc. You can make the coupons attractive and probably give them along with a breakfast in bed for your mom on Mothers Day.
