9. Ceramic Photo Coasters via Cardstore Blog
These personable coasters make a great gift that will last a long time in the home.

This is so lovely and easy to make. Grab a nice bouquet of inexpensive wildflowers to finish it off!

There’s nothing like the smell of lavender at bath time, and these bath salts look like the perfect gift for a mom who needs some time to escape and de-stress.

12. Scented Wax Melts via Bargain Briana
These wax melts are such a great alternative to traditional candles, and they make a home smell so good. You can have fun with the scents, too!

Mmm. The smell of lemon is so refreshing. These bath fizzies are such a nice gift idea!

14. Lovely DIY Sun Hat via How Does She
This is so pretty! Perfect gift idea for a mom who loves to garden.

15. DIY Beaded Suncatcher via Live Craft Love
The way the light catches in this is just gorgeous. This would be a fun gift to make for a mom, but also for yourself!

16. Bow Front Clutch via Polka Dot Chair
So. Cute. This would work as a gift for just about anyone — regardless of style preference or age!

17. Dish Soap Cake Stand via Natalme
This is way too easy to make, and it’s so functional! I never knew how much space my kitchen soap and sponge were taking up until I saw this.

18. Makeup Magnetic Board via Handmade in the Heartland

22. West Elm Inspired Sharpie Mugs via Put a Bird On It
I’m obsessed with this. How can a sharpie make a mug look so high-quality and awesome?!

23. Glass Pebble Magnets via Stampin Fool
I’ve made these magnets countless times for people. They are so easy to make, and magnets have a way of disappearing over time, so it’s always nice to get a new set.

24. Lavender Pillow Mist via Wellness Mama
A mist of lavender on the pillow before bedtime makes for a restful night’s sleep. And let’s face it — almost every mom could use more of those.

This detox mix will draw out toxins from the body and leave any mom feeling brand new, energized, and healthy.

27. Self Soaping Scrubbie via One Good Thing By Jillee
These are all the rage right now and cost a pretty penny from natural food/beauty stores. Make them yourself for a fraction of the cost!

28. DIY Tea Bag Wreath via The Girl Creative
This is probably my all-time favorite DIY gift. For any tea lover, it is such a beautiful gift idea (and it costs next to nothing).

29. Mason Jar Sewing Kit via Polka Dot Chair
For the expert seamstress or the occasional button-sewer, this is such a great gift packaged in a really fun way!
