1. If She’s Sentimental… A Memory Jar

For the woman who loves taking trips down Memory Lane, a memory jar makes the perfect gift! To make one, grab a small stack of decorative paper and a cute jar to put them in.

On each piece of paper, jot down a favorite memory or heartfelt moment, then roll the paper up and place it in the jar. Continue doing this until the jar is full of memories that your recipient is sure to cherish!

2. If She Loves To Cook… A Kitchen Gift Basket

Who doesn’t love a good gift basket? :-) If your mom loves to cook, pick out a few kitchen tools and gadgets she’d like and arrange them in a gift basket or box. Add some ribbon and a card, and it’ll be ready for gifting!

4. If She’s A Bookworm… A Book Lover’s Gift Basket

Inspiration from Mom Unleashed

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a mom who always has her nose in a book, give her a book lover’s gift basket! Start with a book she’ll enjoy, then add a cute mug, a bag of coffee or tea, a nice candle, etc. This is a cute way to give her everything she needs for the a perfectly cozy reading marathon!

5. If She’s All About Comfort… A Pair Of Slippers

Inspiration from Pretty Providence

Here’s a perfect gift for the mom on your list who hasn’t worn jeans since early March! Pick a nice pair of slippers she’s sure to love, then fill them with a few smaller comfort items (like candy, a new nail polish, lip balm, a gift card, etc.)

Tie the slippers together with a length of gift ribbon, and you’re done!

6. If She Can’t Wait For Her Next Trip… DIY Luggage Tags

Inspiration from Lovely Indeed

Make a customized luggage tag for the mom on your list who’s a serial globetrotter. Start with a basic luggage tag, then use paint and a bit of painter’s tape to create a fun design. (I mean, who can resist polka dots?) :-)

7. If She Loves Baking… Homemade Vanilla Extract

As far as gifts for bakers go, baking ingredients like vanilla extract are a no-brainer! And if you have an Instant Pot at home, you can make homemade vanilla extract more quickly and easily than you can imagine! Now that’s a gift that won’t go to waste. :-)

8. If She Needs A Spa Day… A Spa Gift Basket

Inspiration from Mom 4 Real

Give Mom the gift of self-care this year with a quick and easy spa gift basket! Start with a small box or basket, and fill it with a few items she can use during her next at-home spa day, like a nice new towel, some sheet masks, her favorite candy, and a sachet of bath salts. (For more inspiration for your spa gift basket, check out my DIY spa guide here!)

9. If She Has A Green Thumb… A Garden Gift Basket

Inspiration from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs

If Mom can’t wait to start her spring planting, give her a garden gift basket this year! Use a small flower pot as your “basket,” then add seed packets, gardening tools, a new pair of gloves, some plant markers, and more.

Finish off your gift basket by adding a small jar of my homemade gardener’s hand scrub. I’ve been using it for years to scrub my hands clean after working in my garden, and nothing else works as well as this stuff does!
