Your mom is your hero (and we have loving quotes to prove it). While you can purchase a unique gift or make her mouth-watering desserts in light of the day, another special way to showcase your love is with a handmade gift specifically designed for her (DIY cards included).
If you're unsure what to gift your mom on May 8, browse through our list of DIY Mother's Day gifts that are fun, easy and creative ways to tell her "I love you." Some of our ideas are great for your kids to join in on (for more kid-friendly options check out our Mother's Day crafts), and others only require beginner-level skills and at-times intermediate crocheting abilities (you can join the GH Stitch Club for crocheting ideas). From bubble candles and photo flower pots to soothing body scrubs and lovely-scented bath bombs, our ideas are great if you want to make beautiful last-minute gifts your mom, step mom, grandmother, or any other important woman in your life.

Woven Flower Vase
Spruce up a plain glass vase to make your mom's fresh flowers really stand out. To make, cut a piece of cane webbing to fit around a glass hurricane vase. Thread a needle with contrasting yarn or embroidery thread and stitch a line or criss-cross pattern along the edges of the cane webbing. Wrap the webbing around the vase and adhere with hot glue.

Salt Gift Set
Add even more flavor to your mom's kitchen by bottling up six different salt flavors — curry salt, celery salt, to name a few — and placing them in a gift box. If she tends to use more aromatic spices, you can always trade salt for just about anything else her spice cabinet is lacking.
