If you want to show mother how much you care, you’ll need to put in a little more effort than just buying her a gift card. To help you with your search, here are types of handmade birthday Mother’s Day gifts that are sure to delight any mother.
Hand-knit scarf
Knit a scarf in a classic shade of brown, or go bold and bright with a rainbow of strands. Either way, your mother will love the warmth and uniqueness of wearing something you made for her. Wrap it up in coordinating tissue paper to make the packaging match your work.
An extra-special card
Your mother is sure to love any handmade card that you give her. But if you really want to make something that’s really special, try making your card out of old fabric you’ve saved from clothing and towels she no longer uses. In addition to the fabric, gather together some buttons, rick rack and other decorative items to decorate the outside of the card as well as the inside. Even if the card doesn’t contain money, it will be a unique and thoughtful gift.
Hand-knit comforter
Knit this comforter in your favorite color and add a whimsical theme with hearts, flamingos or other images. The pattern will vary depending on the yarn you’re using, so you’re sure to have fun playing with it. You can even use scraps of fabric or old t-shirts to make pillows or a duvet cover. Add your mother’s favorite quote or family motto to personalize the gift.
Hand-letter the wrapping
The gift wrap has never looked so elegant as it does when you hand-letter each square. Get creative, but keep in mind that your mother would most likely prefer a simple script.
Making handmade gifts for Mother’s Day or birthday presents is a great way to show that you really care about the recipient. The more time and effort you put into it, the more meaningful the gift will be. Making something from scratch is not only an act of love but also an opportunity to teach them new skills and show them that they’re worth it.
