12 Handmade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
DIY Dip Dye Baskets from Martha Stewart
1 // A woman can never have enough baskets – these dip dyed baskets from MS Living are too sweet (adding tassels would be a fun touch)!
Framed Art from Julie Blanner
2 // Oh Julie Blanner – you are so creative! This simple framed recipe card idea is so beautiful, and the perfect addition to any kitchen. I am going to make for myself regardless!
Photo Recipe Box from MS Living
3 // I like to save tin boxes – I have more Peppermint Bark boxes than I care to admit. Adding a bit of love to them turns them into a special keepsake for mom. This idea is from MS Living, and I think it would be darling for more than just recipe cards!
Tassel Earrings from The Stripe
4 // These dangly tassel earrings are so cute – I can’t believe they are DIY. From The Stripe – they are easy and would make a lovely gift for mom (or for yourself).

5 // Another beautiful jewelry idea from MS Living – use studs to create wearable accessories for mom.
No Sew Pom Pom Napkins from Lark & Linen | Photo: Heidi Lau
6 // I have quite a thing for textiles, and textiles with pom poms always catch my eye. These no-sew napkins from Lark & Linen have been calling my name for awhile, I need to sit down and make them before summer comes!
DIY Chunky Knit Blanket from Maison de Pax
7 // Chunky blankets are the epitome of cozy, but they tend to be very expensive. I love Maison de Pax’s tutorial to make your own!
DIY Sugar Scrub with rose water
8 // This sugar scrub smells exactly like a fresh bouquet of roses. It uses rose water for natural fragrance and is a luxurious gift whose ingredients can be purchased at the grocery store!
DIY Chicken Wire Frame from Anderson + Grant
9 // Anderson + Grant’s chicken wire frame is so darling! What a fun gift to make for mom – she can change out the photos seasonally. Print out a few of her favorites to gift with the frame!

10 // If you aren’t so much of a DIY’er, this easy red wine caramel sauce is a simple recipe from Cake Bloom that is incredibly delicious. Pair with a bottle of wine or offer to bake a cake with her to celebrate mother’s day in the kitchen!
CocoRose Body Polish from Oak & Ashland | Photo: Sarah Deragon
11 // Oak + Ashland is one of my favorite beauty companies – based in Sonoma, I had the opportunity to learn from the owner. Danika was kind enough to share this body polish recipe with us. It’s divine!
DIY Striped Ticking Apron
12 // The DIY striped apron is one of my favorite projects – and it is the most popular DIY project on Boxwood Ave. If you’ve never sewn before, it might be fun to make with your mom. A double gift: time spent with you and a beautiful finished product, I think that sounds like a lovely Mother’s Day. I was inspired by RedHouse VT’s apron as well as Heirloomed Collection aprons (for those of you who’d rather buy).
I hope you enjoyed this round-up of some of my favorite handmade Mother’s Day gift ideas! I wish you a very happy day!
