Quick And Easy DIY Mother’s Day Gifts
Mother’s Day is around the corner! If you haven’t gotten Mom a gift yet, try making one of these DIY Mother’s Day gifts. They’re perfect last-minute ideas that any mom will love.
My husband is great, you guys, in small part because he always remembers Mother’s Day and never fails to come up with great thoughtful gift ideas to make me feel special and appreciated as a mom.
I, unfortunately, am not as “on top” of Mother’s Day as I once was. Something about being a mom of young kids, I think! 😂
But, I am grateful to my mom and want to shower her with love on Mother’s Day to let her know how much she means to me. This year, I’ll be going the cost-effective route and making my gift instead of buying it.
With that in mind, I’ve rounded up 12 super cute, last-minute DIY Mother’s Day gifts that you can make quickly and delight that special person you call Mom.
Tip: Giving Mom homemade Mother’s Day gifts (even if it’s something quick and simple) will speak volumes to her because you took the time to go the extra mile and make something special yourself.

3. Easy Cookie Platter
DIY gifts can be things that brighten up mom’s home that she’ll keep around for years. But they can also be things to enjoy in the moment, like these sweet treats from A Mom’s Take.
Whip up a batch of her favorite cookies or decorate some sugar cookies in mom’s favorite color and watch her face light up when she sees the thoughtful time spent on these DIY Mother’s Day gifts.

5. Beaded Bookmark DIY Mother’s Day Gifts
Does your mom love to read actual books (not Kindles)? If so, this DIY bookmark from My Frugal Adventures will make a great gift that kids or adults can make!

7. Mother’s Day Photo Ornaments

8. Flower Tea Bag Mother’s Day Gift
If mom isn’t a coffee lover, maybe she loves tea instead. Wrap up DIY Mother’s Day gifts like this one from The Kipi Blog in a mason jar or a small gift box for a surprise she’ll love!

10. DIY Wine Label Mother’s Day Gift
For the mom who loves a relaxing glass of wine at the end of a long day, a bottle of wine is one of the best gifts. Personalize it with one of these terrific wine labels from A Bubbly Life to remind mom how much you love her!

What great ideas! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Thanks Megan! 🙂
Great ideas! I’m seriously thinking about making the sugar scrub this week-end, but that will be a present all for me!
Yes! I hope you did. I have made sugar scrub before and it is awesome…so relaxing and it smells amazing! 🙂
I really like the embroidered portrait, I’ve never seen something like that before!
Rachel me either! It’s so cute…especially if you can draw, which I can’t. 🙂
Great ideas! I actually may make my mum a mason jar pin cushion. I’ve already made myself one, they’re so easy 🙂
Thanks Samantha! I need to try and make that- they looks super cute.
So many great ideas! Sadly I live on the other side of the world from my mother but I still intend to send her a sweet note tomorrow. Also, there’s no reason why I couldn’t make that amazing sugar scrub for myself right? lol
I bet she would love a sweet note even more than a gift! And yes, you totally should! Why not? 😉
