The Mother’s Day Notebook Edition


Sometimes we need to offer our own families a little creative inspiration for Mother’s Day. Perhaps, you need a few fun ideas for your own mother? Better yet, many of these wonderful ideas could double as teacher appreciation gifts for the end of the school season!

Here is my notebook of Mother’s Day gift ideas for all of our sweet mom readers:

A restaurant binder to organize all of those take-out menus and a gift card to a favorite restaurant would make a wonderful gift (@ A Spoonful of Sugar)

For a mom on the go, this tin travel picture frame made from an Altoid tin is absolutely adorable (@ design sponge)

A mix of new music for the mom in your life wrapped creatively in your kid’s beautiful pictures.

This project would be an easy one to do with your children- a beautiful etched glass vase (@ Make & Takes)

Another adorable craft to do with your small children- sweet little drawer sachets (@ The Crafty Crow)
A little breakfast in bed is always appreciated by moms. How about some of these lighter than air waffles with a cup of homemade vanilla chai tea?

    I’m going to be making some of my photo tiles to give my mother-in-law who is flying in to visit for the weekend and hasn’t seen the kids in 2 1/2 years! I hope she loves them. My daughter is going to help make them. I am going to be posting a mother’s day gift link up tomorrow and will be including this fabulous post chock full of great gifts. Thanks, Amy!

    we made flower bouquet’s out of cups and straws they turned out really cute: http://lettersnumbersandbooksohmy.blogspot.com/2009/05/mothers-day-flowers-that-last-forever.html

    plus we have 1 more gift we are making today!

    my best gift is just hugs and kisses and some of my girls art! A picnic at our neighborhood park is fun too!

    I am making a few of these All-Natural Moisturizing Hand Scrub to give to my mom friends. For our mothers, hubby and I ordered flowers.

    Last year, hubby and my son made petifores for dessert for me. That was a fun treat!

    great ideas! Another one is a scoop of powdered milk and some rose petals in a pretty glass jar for a milk bath.
