Mother’s Day Gift Guide + Simple DIY Gift

Mother’s day is just around the corner! If you’re blessed enough to be close to your mom – don’t forget to shower her with love and affection this year. They have done and do so much for us, so what better way to show your appreciation for all she does than a simple, quick, homemade gift!

Some of the best gifts are those that are simple but well thought out. Honestly this gift can be applied to everyone, and you’ve probably received a gift like this in the past, but they’re my favorite gifts to get! Nothing says you care more than a perfectly tailored goodie bag (or jar in this case).

Mason Jar DIY Gift Ideas

Start by grabbing a Mason jar, empty candle jar, bag, anything cute but big enough to hold all the little goodies. I like choosing a container that they can also use along with the gifts. Then you fill it with all her favorite things! Here I selected a few fun items, such as a small bottle of her favorite perfume, a Zoya nail polish, a Bath & Body Work’s car scent refill, a lipstick from Bite Beauty, and my & my mom’s favorite lip balm from Moroccan Magic! You can get 25% off this fantastic lip balm with the code TARGETMAGIC here – to celebrate their launch in target stores nationwide! (This is not an affiliate code, just a great discount for you!)

Plus I threw in her favorite candy – sour sweet tart jelly beans – for some added color and excitement. Side note, if you haven’t tried these jelly beans, you need to! They’re probably on sale now that easter is over, so don’t miss out!

You can make a themed jar or simply fill it with all her favorite things. Some theme ideas are:

1. Spa Night – lotion, loofah, bath salts, bath bomb, mini bath gel, nail polish, face mask, and to top it off, some chocolates.
2. Bar in a Jar – miniatures of her favorite drink mix. You can find mini mixings for a Bloody Mary, a Margarita, Rum Runners, Sangria, and many more.
3. Mug Cake – include all the pre-mixed ingredients for a personal mug cake. She won’t have to share with anyone! I’ll link my favorite site for mug cake ideas here.
