Mother’s Day 2021: 20 DIY Gift Ideas To Surprise Your Mom & Make Her Feel Special

There’s no one like our moms! And there’s nothing better than the comfort of a mother’s arms or her lap and her soothing voice which can light up your day like no other. A mother’s love is unconditional and that’s why it’s important to celebrate it. And let’s face it, she can heal your soul and motivate you. She’s your best friend, your family, and your closest confidante. But we all tend to take them for granted every now and then. And now with Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s time we celebrate their love and our bond with them. And what better way to do it than with DIY Mother’s Day gifts. 

You may love her to bits but being a desi mom that she is, she’d rather you spend money on yourself than buy gifts for them. And that’s exactly why we’ve put together a list of handmade Mother’s Day gift ideas that you can put together for your beloved mother. Check out our list of DIY Mother’s Day gift ideas!

If you’re an artistic person, we suggest you take some time to make your mom or your mom-in-law a DIY or a homemade gift for Mother’s Day. Our mothers took the effort and the time to raise us with love and care and our mother-in-law did her bit to make us feel at home. And the least we can do is make them feel special on this one day. 

1. If you are good at painting or sketching, make your mom a sketch and get it framed for her or you can make her a canvas painting that she will cherish forever. 

2. Instead of buying your mom personalised pillow covers, get some plain ones and use fabric paint to make a beautiful pattern on it or you could also write a quote! 

3. There’s nothing wrong with going the mainstream way and making your mom a good old handmade card. 

4. Buy a quality scarf or handkerchief and embroider your mom’s name on it or maybe a beautiful floral design. 

5. Gift your mom a sculpture of your hands along with the hands of your kids. This will not only remind her of you but also of her grandkids. It’s a heartfelt memory for her to hold onto.
