Mother’s Day is coming up fast, and as many of us know, being a mom is one of the toughest jobs on the planet. So, let’s show our mothers some much-deserved love.
This Mother’s Day, why not make your own gift basket filled with handcrafted items and homemade treats? The time and effort alone show how much you care. Below, I’ll go over what you can add to your gift basket, surprising your mom with the ultimate gift of love!
Whipped Body Butter
A homemade touch truly shows you care. Plus, this body butter is so much better than all the big brands at the store (It’s all-natural, baby!). You’ll also maybe have most of the ingredients for this whipped body butter already lying around. If not, make a list and get shopping, then creating. For more on how to make this, check out this whipped body butter recipe.
Coffee Body Scrub
This scrub is full of antioxidants, and, again, it contains only natural ingredients, giving your mom’s skin the care it deserves. It also contains coconut oil, meaning it’s hydrating too! Most often, you can spend upwards of $25 or more on these types of body scrubs. Yet, it’s so easy to make your own. Try this coffee body scrub for your Mother’s Day gift basket.
Massager With Heat
After a long and hard day, a massage is what we all need to kick back and relax. For not too much money, you can give your mom just that with this electric back and shoulder massager. It has adjustable intensity and comes with the added feature of heat, truly helping your mother relax!
Bath Bombs
Bath bombs take a regular bath up a notch. Plus, these homemade bath bombs are super simple to make and have the option to add essential oils to throw some relaxing aromatherapy into the mix. Make these for your mom (And why not you at the same time?). All of these little gifts can provide your mom with the best at-home spa day.
The Comfy (Original)
For after the bath or while enjoying a heated massage, you’ll want to add The Comfy to your Mother’s Day gift basket to really take this whole at-home spa experience to the next level. Plus, your mother can use this anytime to get cozy while watching her favorite show or while reading her favorite book.
Coconut Flour Cookies
Okay, we’ve got a ton of spa and self-care items in this basket so far. But let’s add a little treat or two (as they would at the spa!). These coconut flour cookies include only three ingredients (coconut flour, butter, and maple syrup), making them ultra-easy and simple to make. You can even opt to dip half of the cookie in chocolate once cooled for added flavor and yumminess!
A Quirky Mother’s Day Candle
Have some fun with this gift! Opt for a candle with an amusing saying. Amazon has plenty of these to choose from. Make sure you pay close attention to the scent and what your mom would prefer. She can then light the candle for her zen spa experience while using the rest of your gift basket items to take a load off.
Jade Face Roller and Gua Sha
With this jade face roller and Gua Sha tool, your mother can basically give herself a facial in the comfort of her own home. These tools, when used regularly, can help decrease puffiness and tension, helping your mother, again, relax and de-stress.
Citrus Body Cream
This vegan, cruelty-free Citrus Body Cream by Pharmacopia is highly rated on Amazon, with many reviewers claiming it’s hands-down their favorite body lotion. With a soothing citrus scent, this is the perfect lotion to add to this gift basket so your mother has a way to hydrate her skin after a relaxing (and bath bomb filled!) bath.
Coconut Oil Chocolates
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Especially guilt-free and dairy-free chocolate! These coconut oil chocolates are the perfect cherry on top for your Mother’s Day gift basket. They also require very little effort, but make sure to plan for a few hours so they can set in the fridge.
Putting It All Together…
Grab a basket like these from Amazon, then set up all your items in a visually-appealing manner. From there, you’ll want to grab a big piece of plastic, place the basket on the top, then scrunch the plastic together on the top with a ribbon or tie. Voila! The perfect DIY gift basket for Mother’s Day! Bonus points if you add a heartfelt card into the mix. (And flowers?) Plus, don’t forget to give your mother some time to herself to enjoy all your lovely gifts!
