Last Minute DIY Mother’s Day Gifts

Sharing is caring!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and we all know that this is the most important day of the year! “wink”. Everyone is out there buying expensive flowers and candy for their moms. But is that what moms really want for Mother’s Day?  I have a different idea. I think it should be a day where we show our appreciation for everything our mother has done not by spending money but by doing something special.  Maybe we can cook for her or serve her breakfast in bed.  (Kids are you reading this?)  

Aside from these gestures, there are so many easy, last minute gifts that you can make yourselves if you have a few basic things at home.  Today I’m going to show you some last minute DIY Mother’s Day gifts.

Η Ημέρα της Μητέρας πλησιάζει και όλοι γνωρίζουμε ότι αυτή είναι η πιο σημαντική μέρα της χρονιάς!  Όλοι αγοράζουν ακριβά λουλούδια και γλυκά για τις μαμάδες τους. Αλλά οι μητέρες τι θέλουν πραγματικά για την Ημέρα της Μητέρας; Έχω μια  διαφορετική  ιδέα. Νομίζω ότι θα πρέπει να είναι μια ημέρα όπου δείχνουμε την εκτίμησή μας για ότι εχει κάνει η μητέρα μας, Όχι ξοδεύοντας χρήματα,  αλλά κάνοντας κάτι το ιδιαίτερο. Ίσως μπορούμε να μαγειρέψουμε γι ‘αυτήν ή να σερβίρουμε το πρωινό της στο κρεβάτι.  (Παιδιά το διαβάζετε αυτό;)

Εκτός από αυτές τις χειρονομίες, υπάρχουν τόσες πολλές εύκολες λύσεις και δώρα της τελευταίας στιγμής που μπορείτε να κάνετε μόνοι σας, αν έχετε μερικά βασικά πράγματα στο σπίτι. Σήμερα πρόκειται να σας δείξω τελευταίας στιγμής DIY (δηλαδή που το κανουμε μόνοι μας) δώρα για την Γιορτή της Μητέρας.

Because moms always need magnets to hold up their kids artwork on the fridge, Repurposing Junkie took some old tiles and turned them into cute magnets.  

Επειδή οι μητέρες πάντα θέλουν να εκθέτουν των παιδιών τους τα έργα τέχνης στο ψυγείο, η Repurposing Junkie πήρε παλιά πλακάκια και τα μετέτρεψε σε χαριτωμένες μαγνήτες.

Τώρα, αν κάποιοι από εσάς αισθάνεστε λίγο φιλόδοξοι, μπορείτε να δοκιμάσετε το χέρι σας στης μαμάς τη παλιά κοσμηματοθήκη και να την βάψετε νέο χρώμα όπως  The Interior Frugalista μας δείχνει παρακάτω.  Ξέρω ότι θα λάτρευα κάτι τέτοιο .

    You very welcome to my blog DIY – it’s in polish language, but a lots of photo relation showing how to make something. Hope you will enjoy there. 😉
    Regards
    Magdalena

    • Mary says:

      Magdalena thank you for visiting. Of course I will visit your blog too. It is always nice to meet new bloggers.

  2. Katie says:

    These are all great ideas. I love the tray with the child’s art. So sweet and a treasure.
    Thanks for sharing at Monday Social.

  3. Julie says:

    Hi Mary, I can’t believe I didn’t stop by last year and leave a comment to say thanks for including my embroidered bag project. Sorry about that.
    This is a great collection of ideas, I agree, home made gifts are the best. My kids usually make a cake which is lovely and most years I get breakfast in bed. (though we have our mothers day in March so I’ve already had mine! )

    • Mary says:

      Julie I thank you for allowing me to show your lovely bag on my blog. I know we are all super busy and running around all day and being a blogger is no walk in the park.
      Happy Belated Mother’s Day, I’m sure you enjoyed the cake.

  4. Great round up Mary! I really like the coasters and the magnets 🙂

  5. I love the tray with your son’s painting! Too precious! All great heartfelt ideas. Thanks for linking up at Welcome Home Wednesdays! See you tomorrow!

  6. Mary says:

    I love the old basket! My mom has a hard time carrying things so she would totally love this! Great ideas.

    • Mary says:

      The basket looks so refined once Pili had painted it. And you can always use another basket.

  7. Debbie says:

    Hi Mary, I think we are the only family that doesn’t acknowledge Mothers Day, it’s just not a big thing to me (although me and my sister always treated my Mum when we were growing up).
    However saying that I love those magnets, very pretty and the ones on our fridge are looking dated now. I also wouldn’t turn my nose up at the picture frame… Although I’d probably prefer a picture of the dog in it!
    xx

    • Mary says:

      The magnets are lovely aren’t they. I have some very talented friends. Some of these are really easy and can be given as gifts at any time of the year. I have to agree about the dog pic. My sweet dog has a special place in my heart.

  8. Nikki says:

    Mary, this is such a great Roundup of Mother’s Day gifts. I like simple gifts, but ones that have some thought in them. And these are all perfect. I’m not sure which one I like best there are so many that I would love.

    • Mary says:

      Thank you Nikki. We certainly can’t expect anyone to make something difficult at the last minute. I hope you had a great Mother’s Day!

  9. Laurie says:

    Cute ideas for Mother’s Day! I agree with the breakfast in bed . . . maybe the laundry done and the house cleaned?

    • Mary says:

      Now that would be wishful thinking in my house Laurie! But we can always hope!

  10. Maya Kuzman says:

    This is a very beautiful and useful compilation Mary!
    Thank you for sharing!

  11. Yes – Mother’s Day IS the most important day of the year! Ha! Thanks for linking up to Best of the Weekend. You were one of my features this week. Have a great weekend and enjoy your Mother’s Day!
    Shelley

  12. Julie Briones says:

    Lovely ideas and diys, Mary! So glad you shared at Homestyle Gathering, sweet friend!

  13. Mother of 3 says:

    These are some really great ideas! I try to get my boys to make me breakfast or clean the house for me; I think that is the best idea for a Mother’s Day gift!

  14. Love these ideas, Mary! I really like the repurposed tiles and the sweet burlap wrapped cups. <3
    Happy Mother's Day coming soon to you,
    Hugs,
    Barb 🙂

  15. Alice says:

    these are some great ideas and I really like the repurposed tile magnets and the tins.

  16. Lovely gift ideas Mary. I hope you have a wonderful mothers day this year!

  17. Maria says:

    Nice ideas you all came up with.

  18. You guys are so clever!! Pinned.

  19. So many good ideas… I really liked the magnetic tile idea and can see lots of possibilities there… even for homeschool.

  20. What a fun round up–full of great gift ideas! Thank you for sharing @Vintage Charm! Blessings, Cecilia

  21. Love these, Mary! You can never go wrong with photo frames. What mother has enough frames? I also really like the jewelry chest. That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this sweet roundup with #UpsyDaisyLinkup!

    • Mary says:

      Thank you Regina! I could definitely use more picture frames! Have a great weekend.

  22. Liz says:

    Mary, these are such sweet ideas. I really love the leftover ceramic tile for magnets.

    • Mary says:

      Liz, Keri is so insanely talented, she takes true junk and turns it into gems.

  23. TwoPlusCute says:

    Fantastic ideas and my favorite is the tray you added your sons’ painting!
    Very personal and a great handmade gift. 🙂

    • Mary says:

      Aww thank you so much. The tray was indeed special. It’s a way for the siblings to stay connected.

  24. So many great ideas, Mary. Happy Wednesday.
    Amalia

  25. Thank you so much for including my jewelry box in your wonderful Mother’s Day gift ideas, Mary. So many pretty ideas in here. Would you believe I had no idea it was Mother’s Day this weekend☺️

    • Mary says:

      Aww Marie, I am honored to have you in my round up. I wish you a very Happy Mother’s Day even if you don’t rememeber!

  26. Krista says:

    I think I love EVERY single one of those ideas. There are a few that I am eager to try.

    • Mary says:

      Krista that makes me so happy. I hope you can upload your projects on the blog. Have a happy mother’s day!

  27. Keri says:

    Mary, what a wonderful round up of Mother’s Day Gifts ideas!! Thanks so much for including my projects in the list!! 🙂

    • Mary says:

      Keri I am honored to have you in my round up! Your projects are so original and creative.

  28. Lynn Spencer says:

    Lovely Ideas Mary…And I share your goal of making gifts for mom. When I made my bird feeder several weeks ago, I also made one for mom. Since then she’s also hinted at an alarm clock, so looks like she’ll get both this year…plus I found some lovely fabric napkins for her kitchen.
    You compiled a great list.
    Happy Mother’s Day Mary…
    Hugs, Lynn

    • Mary says:

      Lynn your bird feeder is the perfect gift for Mom. So you know exactly what I’m talking about. It sounds like the napkins and alarm clock will round out your mother’s gifts. Happy Mother’s Day to you my dear friend!

  29. You have gathered up some lovely ideas for a special Mother’s Day. I hope your day is filled with love, laughter and togetherness.

    • Mary says:

      Thank you so much Debra. I hope to inspire others with this post and maybe someone will make something instead of spending money.

  30. I love the idea behind painting bottles into vases and covering vases with fabric, they seem like a great way to re-purpose simple items and turn them into gifts! Although I love the D.I.Y. ideas, I also agree with you, Mother’s Day should also be about doing great things for Mom–cooking her breakfast in bed, completing chores without being asked, etc.

    • Mary says:

      Brooke I am really big on repurposing things I love to do good by our planet earth and would never encourage anyone to shop for me unless it was clothing or something I couldn’t make. .

  31. Eleana A says:

    Τι ωραίες ιδέες μας έδωσες Μαίρη μου!! Εμείς δυστυχώς τις μαμάδες τις έχουμε μακριά αλλιώς είναι σίγουρο πως κάτι θα φτιάχναμε!! Πολλά φιλιά!

    • Mary says:

      Να σε καλά Ελεανα και να την χαίρεσαι τη μαμά σου κι ας ειναι λίγο μακριά.

  32. Happy mother’s day for tomorrow! So many beautiful ideas! I just finished my gift and you’ll see it tomorrow on the blog! (hint: it involves breakfast haha)

    • Mary says:

      Thank you for your warm wishes Katerina! Any gift we can give that comes from the heart is the best gift. My girls made a cake for me and also cooked lunch. So it was a relaxing day for me.

  33. JES says:

    Great ideas Mary! Visiting from 5 Star Frou Frou today 🙂

  34. What a beautiful roundup of Mother’s Day gifts Mary, thank you. They’re all so pretty. Hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day surrounded by all that you love.

    • Mary says:

      Thank you so much Michelle. I hope you also have a great weekend full of inspiration.

  35. Audrey says:

    Lots of fun ideas here. Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity. I hope you will party with us again.

  36. Michele says:

    My favorite is the flowers in the bottles- one of my all time favorite looks ever! So simple, so pretty! Happy Mother’s Day Mary!

    • Mary says:

      Michele, I love simple and sometimes it can have more of an impact that fancy and complicated. Have a happy Mother’s Day.

  37. Wonderful projects! I especially love the tile magnets! Something I could do (I think)!
    And breakfast in bed is always a fabulous idea! 🙂

      Andrea you should try your hand at them. I chose them all so they could be done in a short time and they are not too challenging otherwise I couldn’t do them either. Have a happy Mother’s Day.

  38. Celeste says:

    Great Mother’s Day gift ideas, Mary! I really love those painted utensils! They’re so colorful and fun!

    • Mary says:
