DIY Mother’s Day Gifts

Moms love homemade and DIY Mother’s Day Gifts.  I’d much rather receive a homemade gift from my daughter, rather than something she’s had to go out and buy. DIY Mother’s Day Gifts are a great alternative to the sometimes forced gift-giving we see this time of year.

Here are my top ideas, which you still have plenty of time to make:

• Healthy Chocolate Truffles: These are ridiculously healthy, decadent, and delicious.
• DIY Minty Salt Hand Scrub: This is perfect for mom, especially if you find a pretty mason jar and ribbon.
• DIY Vitamin C Face & Body Serum: This serum is easy, inexpensive and super effective, and perfect for mums who are thinking about anti-aging!
• Cuticle Oil: My mom loves this oil because she does masses of yard work and gardening and always needs to give her hands a little TLC.
• Lavender Rose Body Scrub: This is my new favorite!

And, in case you still need some inspiration, here is an incredibly easy DIY that mum is sure to love!!

Relaxing Bath Salts:

This is the easiest to make and I can never have enough of them in my bathroom.

You will need:

• 1 16-ounce pretty jar
• 1 cup Epsom Salts
• 1 cup sea salt
• 30 drops lavender essential oil
• 2 tbsp dried lavender flowers (optional)

Simply mix the ingredients in a bowl. Pour into the jar and make a pretty label. You can also add a little wooden scoop.
