Looking for a heartfelt and creative way to celebrate the amazing moms in your life this Mother’s Day? Look no further! I’ve got a fantastic DIY project that’s as beautiful as it is unique. Introducing: this cozy & romantic DIY Mother’s Day Basket Idea. It’s a simple yet stunning gift that any mom is sure to love.
This Mother’s Day Gift Basket idea is definitely one that I would love, so I’d be proud to give it to anyone! It’s a collection of some of my favourite tabletop decor, and the neutral colours of this collection of items would look lovely in any recipient’s space. Here’s how to put this beautiful gift set together!
You Will Need
- Shallow wicker thrift store basket
- Plenty of natural-colored paper shred (find some here on Amazon)
- Wooden dish (I recommend checking out this heart-shaped wooden dish from my shop, Cozy Prairie Linens)
- Small dried floral arrangement, tied with a pink velvet bow (I used lavender, bunny tails & small pampas grass)
- Handmade beaded garland, complete with a special lava rock heart bead for adding essential oils (my daughter made this one!)
- Lavender-scented candle (trust me, this candle smells divine!)
- Small vial of matches (I’ve got some adorable pink ones available in my shop that match perfectly)
- A gift tag to add a personalized touch (you can find a link to these free printable Mother’s Day gift tags below)
- Optional: edible treats like packaged chocolate, candy, or nuts
Now, let’s get crafting!
Prep the Basket
Start by giving your thrift store basket a good clean. We want it to look as fresh and lovely as possible.
Fill ‘Er Up
Next, fill about three-quarters of the basket with natural-colored paper shred. This not only adds a decorative touch but also provides a soft base for your goodies.
Add the Items
Now it’s time to start layering in the items. Begin by placing the heart-shaped wooden dish in the center of the basket. It’s the perfect base for building your arrangement.
Nestle the small dried floral arrangement next to the wooden dish, securing it in place with the pink velvet bow. This adds a lovely pop of color and texture to the basket.
Carefully drape the handmade beaded garland into the bowl. The addition of the lava rock heart bead not only looks gorgeous but also allows Mom to enjoy her favorite essential oils.
Light up Mom’s day with the lavender and vetiver scented candle. Place it strategically in the basket, nestling it into the paper shred.
Don’t forget to include a small vial of matches for lighting the candle. These pink ones from my shop are not only practical but also add a playful touch to the arrangement.
Optionally, you could finish off the basket with some little treats like a bag of cookies, a chocolate bar, or whatever mom’s favourite treat is!
Personalize It
Finally, attach a gift tag to the basket to add a personal touch. You can download these for free from my blog by clicking right here. Simply print them out onto cardstock paper, cut them out along the lines, and attach them with some twine to the basket.
And there you have it – a beautiful and unique DIY Mother’s Day Basket that’s sure to make Mom feel loved and appreciated.
Now, let’s sprinkle in a few more ideas to inspire your Mother’s Day gifting!
Here are some more Mother’s Day gift baskets for that special woman on your list. These can be curated to suit her to a tee!
- Spa Day Delight: Create a spa-themed Mother’s Day gift box filled with luxurious bath bombs, scented candles, beautiful soaps, body lotion, a plush towel, and a cozy robe. Add in some soothing tea or a bottle of bubbly for the ultimate relaxation experience.
- Garden Lover’s Dream: For the mom with a green thumb, put together a basket filled with gardening essentials like gloves, seeds, a pretty watering can, and a gardening book. You could even include a potted plant or two for an extra special touch.
- Coffee Lover’s Basket: If your mom loves her coffee, add her favourite coffee beans, a special mug, a little spoon, and some cookies to a basket. You could even create a mini gift basket inside the mug!
- Mom’s Special Picnic: For the mom who loves her wine and cheese, fill a charming picnic basket with snacks like crackers, popcorn, and fancy breads. Then add a variety of cheeses such as gouda and cheddar, and finish the basket off with Mom’s favourite bottle of wine.
