MOTHER’S DAY GIFT IDEAS FROM THE HEART

Are you having technical difficulties trying to decide on a great gift for Mom that won’t break your bank account? Even if you do have the funds, have you considered going the sentimental route instead of going to a department store? If mom really likes the department store gift, then maybe consider handcrafting your own card, with sentiments of your own, rather than a generic card from a store card rack.

Handcrafted gifts always seem more special to me. It shows me that someone took the time to think of me, decided on a project, and put together something that really came from their heart. I can feel that it was made with love. <3

I have put together a list of links with ideas that might inspire you to make a “handmade with love” gift for Mom this year. (The last 4 are geared toward gifts that children can make.)
