I’m guessing you enjoy making your mother happy, especially in challenging times. Over the years I’ve enjoyed creating hand-made gifts for my Mom & Mother-in-Law: Christmas stocking, crochet hat, purse, pillow, etc. And of course there were all those gifts I made as a child, which I’m betting had a little bit more tug on my Mom’s heart. Why not pull out your craft supplies and make one of these handmade Mother’s Day Gift ideas below?
