Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. –Lin Yutang

Alison rocks it with her power tools as she teaches you how to make this beautiful window box. Don’t be scared, it’s really simple…but wait, this might be a great way to get the husband involved…hint, hint… 😉
The 30 Minute Button Necklace
This is a perfect way to customize the perfect gift for your mother, find her favorite colored buttons and string them together in less than 30 minutes. She’ll think of you every time she wears it! (This is a great one for the kids to do too!)
The Admiration Subway Board
What a beautiful way to share positive words that express your sincere thoughts about that special woman in your life.

Bobbi shows you how to make a jar full of treats and love notes to lift someones spirits both inside and out!
The Green Thank You Bundle
What’s better than a bunch of thank you notes mixed in a bunch of green bills? Yeah…I don’t know either. 😉
The “Forever Lasting” Seeded Paper Flowers
Why not make her beautiful flowers that will last forever than buy the ones that will soon fade away?
The Magnetic Paint Photo Board
This sweet magnetic board can double as a photo frame or a reminders board. Add a photo you know they will love to the board, tie a ribbon around it, and you have an instant meaningful gift that they can change up over time.
The Sweet Treats Jar
Add your mother’s name, a little vinyl to a glass jar and you have an one-of-a-kind, personalized gift!
The Gorgeous, Secret, Book Box
This book box would be so fun to personalize with color, photos, and meaningful trinkets inside for that special lady! Definitely a keepsake for the years to come…
The Stackable “My Favorite Things”
Put some of those old 2×4’s to use and create this adorable 2×4 family craft!
The Edible Strawberry Bouquet
All you need is some chocolate, strawberries, sticks, a vase, and some love… 😉
The Visual Memory Journal
This might take a little more planning than the others, but what a gift! Fill it with stories, memories, and love notes for that special someone!
The Therapeutic Corn Pack
This is one of our Top Posts! They are not only beautiful, but very useful and simple to make!
The Fabric Covered Cork Board Frame
This project is also simple and yet beautiful and useful! {Wouldn’t it be fun to attach a surprise like an ultrasound to a gift like this? What a fun announcement it would make!}
The Knotted Fabric Headband
It only takes a generic headband, half of a zipper, and some fabric tied in knots! It’s that easy and super fun to wear!

My daughter made me a website, which was pretty neat. It was on isTheBestMomEver.com and you can make a personal website and write some really nice things for your mom! She said it doesn’t take very long, too.
Jamie Calston says
Most mom’s are suckers for homemade gifts that are meaningful to them personally, or so I’ve observed

However, the really exciting gifts available from an image consultant are the experience gifts.
It is best to plan ahead on what to give so as not to buy something
so generic that the recipient will just leave the toy untouched.
Many luggage companies manufacture packing cubes, including Eagle Creek; travel guru Rick Steves even has his own
line of cubes.

Amazon is going crazy with the discounts for Mother’s Day. If you don’t have a promo code, you can use this one: http://amzn.to/1pvtvZN – Think I’m going to buy my mom something extra with the savings.
