2. DIY Gift Basket
Put a Mother’s Day twist on a fruit basket and customize a spa package for her. First, pick a cute basket from the dollar store. Then, place tissue paper in the bottom of the basket and then fill it up with little accessories, like face masks, scented lotion, body scrubs, etc. Next time she decides to treat herself, she’ll have everything she needs for her own personal spa day without ever leaving her house.
3. Mini Appreciation Book
Who doesn’t love a little verbal TLC? Have the kiddos write down ten things they love about their mama and make a little book out of them.
