Mother’s Day is this Sunday!  Check out these sweet DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas to create for your mother or grandmother.  And forward this along as a hint to your husband too!

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas – “Card” Journal

Several readers shared this hint with their husbands and LOVE it!  Instead of buying a greeting card for Mother’s Day, purchase a journal.  Then every year at Mother’s Day, have the kids draw or write in it.

Some readers have expanded the journal to birthdays and anniversaries as well.  Husbands are welcome to write sweet notes in it too, of course!  It’s a precious memento that captures the kids growing up and a maturing marriage over the years.  And on those hard days, what mama wouldn’t want to pull this out to remind herself that she’s so loved?

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas – Fun & Crafty Inspiration

Get a little crafty with these adorable gifts that capture the littleness of the kids.   And if crafts aren’t your thing, the free printables are perfect and still so thoughtful!

DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas – Hand Print Coasters

These tile coasters look impressive but are pretty simple.  All you need are tiles from your local hardware store, paint, and sealer.  For kids whose hands are bigger than the tile, you could also use two thumbprints to make a heart.  Such a sweet keepsake!

DIY Mother’s Day Gifts – Fun Gifts to Pair Up

If you’re looking for a little something else to pair up with one of the DIY gifts above, check out these fun ideas!

• Leather Earrings – Because they’re made of leather, they’re so lightweight!  I wear my gold leather earrings most days, and they go with everything.  And you can’t beat this price!
• “Memories for my Grandchild” Book – If you think your mother or grandmother would enjoy filling something like this out, it’s so special to pass down to grandchildren.  I filled a similar book out with my grandmother (I wrote her answers down for her), and it’s such a treasure to me.
• “Mom’s One Line a Day” Journal – My husband and children gave me this journal a few years ago, and I’ve been writing in it ever since.  Each day has room for a couple of sentences, so it’s a low-pressure way to capture a memory from each day.  I love reading my entries from prior years for the current day.
• “Jesus Calling” Devotional Book – There aren’t many things on Amazon with almost 17,000 reviews and 5 stars.  This devotional book is powerful.  Yet each daily entry is short enough to not be intimidating.
