Mother’s Day is just around the corner again. If you are having difficulties with finding presents for mum in London, why not go for a small homemade surprise? Gifts do not always have to be big and expensive. A hand-decorated flower pot, beautiful memories on a photo, or a simple handmade card is often the perfect surprise.
To make the gift even more special, you can let the kids help you out, they are sure to be eager to make a gift for their favorite grandma. Below we have compiled 5 simple DIY gifts for Mother’s Day.
Family Photo Collage
You probably have countless great vacation and family photos. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to frame all of those memories and hang them on the wall. This is where collages come into play – kids can surprise their grandma on Mother’s Day with a heart made of photos.
Before you choose the photos, you should think about how your heart will be arranged. It’s easy to do with templates found online.
Once you have collected suitable images, you can also edit the photos with a uniform filter, because a uniform color style will make your collage look more harmonious. For this purpose, smartphone apps or online tools for image editing are best suited. For a very personal touch, you can insert a nice saying or a few dear words instead of a photo, or even better – let the kids do it.
Handmade Jewelry
The famous advertising slogan “A Diamond is Forever” is no coincidence and people indeed keep special pieces of jewelry for a lifetime. That’s why bracelets, necklaces, and the like are not usually gifts that are presented to anyone, but for a grandma it is perfect. Jewelry is usually given away on momentous occasions and has a high emotional value.
Kids are unlikely to make something difficult but even a simple bracelet or necklace is sure to make grandma smile.
Hand-painted Flower Pot
If you want to make a gift more personal and lasting, let the kids craft a chic flower pot. Decorated with upbeat hearts and one of her favorite flowers inside, you’ve made a foolproof and original gift for Mother’s Day that’s guaranteed to go down well.
For something more unique, choose a zinc bucket instead of a pot. These zinc buckets are currently trendy and are available from bright pink to white and natural zinc look. A great sustainable advantage – zinc buckets are easy to clean and very durable.
To actually decorate the pot (or bucket) let the kid’s imagination do its job. Provided them with paint, colored paper, and glue, and just watch the magic happen.
Handprint Card
This is probably the simplest idea of all and the most beautiful! When a grandmother holds such a card in her hands, it will certainly warm her heart. We are all familiar with handprint cards and you probably created a few yourself all those years ago.
The process itself is very simple. Take a piece of paper and paint, cover the children’s hands in paint, and let them touch the paper. The result is a cute picture that can be additionally decorated with writing and other hand-drawn images.
A little tip: don’t touch anything when you’re on your way to the bathroom to wash your hands.
Personalized Recipe Book
Grandmas love to cook, and the best part about it is that they keep the secret to a really tasty treat. They always put a “pinch” of love into the food, and that’s what makes our grandmas’ meals so delicious! If your grandmother loves to bake, you and the kids can make a personalized recipe book.
With this gift, you should divide and conquer. Kids can design the cover and individual pages, while you can worry about what recipes to actually put in. If you manage to get your hands on the real recipes the grandma uses – even better!
