Finding the perfect gift for the people you care about isn't always the easiest of tasks. Money is tight, time is limited and what would that other person love? The thought is what really counts but to make you life a little more sane, I have picked out 5 do it yourself ideas that might be helpful, I'm actually doing one of them with my own twist!
1. Mom's Emergency Stash
�
This is a quick but great idea when money is tight and time is of the essence. With some simple supplies, you can give your mom her own stash of favorite candies and chocolates for when she's craving something sweet!

2. Mother's Day DIY Box of Chocolates
“Mama always said life is like a box
of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get” and neither
will your mom! Store bought assorted chocolates are great but they
also include some your mom probably dislikes, plus they're expensive.
If you're looking to save some extra money while giving your mom
something she can enjoy fully, then this is the perfect gift for you!
Fill this little box with all your mom's favorite candies with the
added bonus of her own personalized gift box.

3. Mother's Day Gift In A Jar
This is one of my personal favorites.
The project itself is a decorative jar with some of your mom's
favorite things inside of it. It's perfect if you're looking to save
some money but still give your mom something meaningful because it's
simple to make and only requires a few things: a jar, a ribbon, and a
tag of some sort. Feeling craftier, go nuts with this!

�4. Mother's Day Mug
This is another of my favorites because my mom is a major coffee drinker. This project is probably the most simple of them all. All you'll need is a mug, a marker and an oven for this project. Pick one of your mom's favorite sayings and then write it on the mug, bake the mug in the oven and then you're good to go! It's meaningful and simple.

5. Mother's Day Spa Basket
Everyone likes to relax after a long day at work, especially moms. One of the best ways to relax is to take a nice, soothing bath. The only problem with that is store bought spa baskets are far too much money. Personally, it'd be cheaper to make yourself and you can customize it however you like.

Bonus Idea!
This is not an easy project but it is a meaningful one. This project allows you to create a personalized jewelry box for your mom. It's a beautiful box that features pictures of the family and a gorgeous mom bracelet with a lovely accompanying poem. I recommend doing this way ahead of time if you like the idea.
