DIY Mother's Day Gift Ideas For Any Mom

All moms are different. But one thing they all seem to have in common is that they love their kids and love spending time with them. Especially if they are grown. Sometimes the gift of time is the best gift of all. It's something we never seem to have enough of.

You don't have to give a gift that is over the top. Just show up. Give mom a hug. Sit and have a conversation with her. Share a bottle of wine. And if she isn't close by, pick up the phone or schedule a video chat.

If you are lucky enough to have your mom with you, don't let the moment pass. Life is short. It is fragile.

If you don't have a TikTok account, don't worry. I've made it easy to view by taking these links from mine. Simply scroll down and watch from this post. All of the videos are office friendly. They are kid friendly too. In fact, some of these make good activities to do WITH the kids.

Share them with your friends who could use a little Mother's Day inspiration as well. If the DIY idea flops, I've snuck in a video that has great products to order as a back up. Covering all of the bases here.

Finally, here are 5 thoughtful DIY Mother's Day gift ideas.

Up Your Flower Game

Stanley Cups are all the rage right now. I love how she turns this into a vase for a gorgeous arrangement. You could do this with any kind coffee mug. Perhaps a stemless wine glass too. Lots of things could work.

Upcycling And Personalizing

I'm not sure about a second hand wood cutting board. But if you're on a budget and want to splurge on the heat stamp, this is a great idea. There are lots of places that have in expensive new boards as well. Either way, this is a cool idea. Maybe line the board with some treats, and share it with mom. Spending time together is the best gift.

Kids Keepsake

This is something mom can display and keep forever. It also gets the kids involved. And is less messy than having them make breakfast for Mother's Day.

There are lots of great store bought cards. They are getting more and more expensive. Consider making your own. Even if you are not artsy, this lady makes it look fairly easy to pull off. It doesn't have to be perfect but it will be a keeper.
