DIY BATH BOMBS – Mother’s don’t usually have time to fully relax, so surprise your mum this Mothers Day with homemade bath bombs.

SPLATTER PAINTING – If you have a toddler and need an idea, this is definitely for you! All you will need is a canvas, masking tape and different coloured paints. This one is for the kids, let them have fun experimenting with the colours (hopefully the colours stay pretty by the end!) Mothers will love this gift as it reminds them of how creative and loving their children are. They will also boast about it to their friends whenever someone asks who made it!

DECK OF LOVE – If you are having trouble showing you mum how much you love her, simply write it all down! This deck of cards will brighten her day up when she is feeling down, and it will be a constant reminder of the little things she does that mean so much to her children. It would be a great read and she will appreciate how much effort that has gone into writing everything down! Find out how to make the deck here.

MASON JAR HERB GARDEN – Small herb gardens are a great way to teach kids about responsibility and care. Giving this to your mum for Mother’s Day means she wouldn’t have to get certain items from the shop and the kids could help around the kitchen more. Herb gardens are also a great bonding experience between mum’s and their children. Idea from Consumer Crafts.
