Let’s be honest, Moms make the world go round. (Dad’s too, of course) – but one day a year it’s all about the Moms. Mother’s Day. In the year 2023 this day falls on May 14 so you still have some time to get the gifts for her ready.
Shutterfly is a great resource for a plethora of gifts, ideas, crafts, home decor, photo books, and so many more.
With Mother’s Day around the corner, they provided us with some great homemade ideas for all of us (dads, I’m talking to you).
Here are their top 10 ideas:
“1. Make Homemade Bath Bombs
Let Mom relax after a long day at the office or running errands with homemade bath bombs made of essential oils and moisturizers to help soften up her skin. She’ll appreciate kicking back in the bathtub, soaking in the scents of lavender, eucalyptus, or another favorite aroma to help her decompress and get rid of stress.
2. Personalize Keepsake Boxes Mom Will Love
Get creative, and personalize a keepsake box that can be placed on a dresser, desk or decorative table. Your thoughtfulness will go a long way, because she can use this gift to conveniently organize, and store all her jewelry like her diamond rings, cuff bracelets, keepsakes and special mementos from her trips and loved ones.
3. Homemade Mother’s Day Gifts That Spice Things Up
Who says Mother’s Day ideas can’t have a little spice? If your mom loves to cook and experiment with various ingredients in the kitchen, make your own hot pepper oil with jalapeños or hot chili peppers. She’ll be fired up! Bonus: Add your concoctions to cute bottles with labels for finishing touches Mom will absolutely love.
4. Customize A Set Of Home Dinner Plate
Personalize a dinner plate for a homemade Mother’s Day gift that will be sure to melt her heart. With a personal message expressing how much you love her and handcrafted image, she can proudly put it on display in the kitchen as wall art or use it to serve breakfast, snack mixes, or appetizers for the entire family.
5. Personalize Pillows With Sweet Messages And Styles
Add extra flair to your patio or front porch with personalized outdoor pillows. These pillows are a great conversation starter and keepsake to liven up any spring, summer or fall party.

6. Fabric Flowers You Can Add To Anything
Fabric crafted flowers are not only vibrantly beautiful, but stay fresh throughout the whole year. Choose her favorite colors and add them to a barrette, headband, hat, or brooch for something Mom can wear in her hair, for special occasions.
7. Make A Silhouette Brooch

Include photos from fun family vacations, holiday celebrations or trips to the park to help tell your story with life’s most meaningful moments.
9. Hand Molds Are A Heartfelt Memory
This plaster hand mold is the perfect homemade gift for the little ones to get involved in. Have your kids, nieces and nephews or grandchildren contribute to a gift that will leave mom touched and bring a tear to her eye.
