Mother’s Day is soon upon us.

Can you believe it? 
I am so very happy to have warm weather, sunshine, flowers and all the things Spring brings.
Aren’t you?
But it can slow wayyyy down now! I want it to last and last and last. :)
I know you are with me on that. Especially after the winter most of us just endured.

So, have you been looking for a special gift idea for your Mom?
I’ve put together 20+ Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for you today.
And …even some food ideas because what Mom doesn’t want to be cooked for on her day?
Right? :)

Hope these inspire you!

**Also, I’d love for you to pin these to Pinterest but please click on the actual links to the posts and pin from each blogger’s page please! :)  Thank you!

I’ll start with a few from the blog here. Then I’m also sharing a few of my friends’ great ideas too.

Old Cans Repurposed

Old cans….made new and pretty with a little paint and decoupaged printed graphics.
You can put flowers in them for your Mom and then she can use them for other things after the flowers are gone!

Jewelry Tray

Make her a pretty tray to keep her jewelry on.
So simple and made with all thrifty items you can easily get your hands on.

Easy Sugar Scrubs Recipe

Who wouldn’t love this? These are super simple to whip up too.
You probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already!

Easy Salt Scrubs

Equally easy. Whip these up in no time. She’ll love them!

Old Bottles Repurposed

Make her some pretty bottles for her home decor.
These are so easy and look great on a shelf for decorative purposes…or with some pretty flowers in them!

Menu Chalkboard

Make a stop at your local thrift store and pick up one of these metal trays and make your Mom a chalkboard.
You can customize it to say anything at the top.

Easy DIY Art

Make her this easy DIY art for her walls or decor. You can customize it to say anything, like a quote about Mothers, etc.
You can also use any kind of frame and any kind of colorful paper.
The possibilities are endless!

Some of my friends had a few ideas too….

How awesome and so very personalized is this idea? I just LOVE it!

Photo Frame Wreath by Shanna at Restoration Redoux

This is another fabulous idea. Love the personal mementos surrounding this wreath.

And how about some food?
I am a Mom and I know I’d surely love and enjoy some cooking done for me on Mother’s Day. :)
How about you?
Here are a few ideas….

 

Looks so yummy. Everyone loves pizza, right?

Ground Oats & Spelt Pancakes by me over at my food blog, Foodie Chicks Rule

It’s also fabulous and equally easy to make.

…………………………………………………………………………..

I hope these have given you some gift giving inspiration for Mother’s Day.
Mothers are certainly more important than words can express and should be celebrated on their special day (and every day!).
I wish I could celebrate with my Mom here, today, tomorrow and every day.
I can’t but that will not stop me from doing so.
She is with me always in my heart, in spirit and I will celebrate her.
If you are lucky enough to still have your Mom with you, please celebrate her! : )
Enjoy and I wish all the Mothers out there a very happy (early) Mother’s day!

xoxo
