Homemade Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Check out these easy DIY ideas to make your mother a homemade gift this year for Mother’s Day. practical gift ideas for mom!

All-natural homemade gifts.

Coming up with a gift for the mama’s in your life can be hard.  I like to go the practical route with a big emphasis on relaxing. All mamas can use a little R&R, trust me!  

I am going to share eight homemade products that your mom will love to receive this Mother’s Day. These gifts are simple to make and will be loved by grandma too.  Plan a day, whip up a few of these items (or all of them!), and you can put together a cute gift basket in no time. 

These items can be given separately too if you rather just make one.  They would make a great add-on to a pair of cozy socks, a house plant, or a hanging flower basket. Adding in a homemade product can really add an extra special touch to any gift. 

Get access to my online resource library for your free printable labels. I made two color options so you can choose which one you want to use.

WHIPPED BODY BUTTER 

Grab the full recipe HERE.

I whipped up a big batch of this for Christmas gifts a couple of years ago, and everyone loved it! It makes a great gift for anyone, especially moms. I use this daily during the winter to help with dry skin. It is gentle enough to use as a face moisturizer and for babies. 

HOMEMADE LOTION BARS Homemade lotion bars on wooden table.

Grab the full recipe HERE. 

I am a mom, and I LOVE these, and I bet your mom will too!  These are very moisturizing for the skin and can help heal dry, cracked skin.  

Add in essential oils for aromatherapy benefits and to make them smell amazing.  You can customize the scent by adding in different blends of essential oils. Here are some of my favorite oils to use: 

Lavender + Roman Chamomile 

Sandalwood + Wild Orange 

Bergamot + Patchouli 

DIY LIP BALM

DIY lip balm with essential oils.

Grab the full recipe HERE.

Everyone can use an extra tube or two of lip balm. Made with cocoa butter and peppermint essential oil, these smell absolutely amazing! This lip balm pairs well with the other products or can make a nice filler to any other gift. 

BEESWAX CANDLE Beeswax candles in little mason jars on grey table cloth.

Grab the full recipe HERE.

Making beeswax candles are so simple!  You can customize these by putting them in different containers, decorating the outside, and by adding in essential oils.  

ESSENTIAL OIL ROLLER BOTTLE Essential oil roller bottles on wooden table with fresh flowers.

Roller bottles make great gifts for everyone, especially someone that has never used essential oils before. Roller bottles are diluted and are easy to apply, great for beginners!  I have shared lots of roller bottle recipes here on the blog that you can choose from. Or simply make a relaxing roller bottle with lavender.  

HOW TO MAKE AN ESSENTIAL OIL ROLLER BOTTLE FOR MOM 

Add 15-30 drops of essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle and then top it off with fractionated coconut oil. 

Here are a few roller bottles you can try: 

RELAXATION

  • 5 drops lavender 
  • 5 drops frankincense 
  • 4 drops roman chamomile 
  • 3 drops vetiver 

Add essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle and top off with a carrier oil.

ENERGY  

  • 5 drops kumquat
  • 5 drops juniper berry
  • 4 drops red mandarin
  • 3 drops lemon

Add essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle and top off with a carrier oil.

MOOD SUPPORT

  • 5 drops wild orange
  • 5 drops frankincense
  • 4 drops bergamot
  • 3 drops lemongrass

Add essential oils to a 10mL roller bottle and top off with a carrier oil.

Or try some of these: 

Calming and Sleep 

Stress and Anxiety 

Skin and Anti-Aging 

Immune Support 

Focus and Concentration 

Purchase my favorite roller bottles and fractionated coconut oil.

AROMATHERAPY SHOWER MELTSHealthy homemade shower melts.

Grab the full recipe HERE.

Shower melts are perfect for a busy mom that loves to be pampered but doesn’t really have the time for it. Tossing a shower melt into the shower can make for an ultra-relaxing time.  As the warm water hits the shower melt, essential oils will be released into the air. 

Again, you can customize these for your mom by switching the essential oils around. Check out my shower melt post to see my favorite blends! 

SUGAR SCRUB Homemade sugar scrub on wooden table.

This will be the easiest project you have ever done, and I bet most of you already have the ingredients needed in your pantry.  This recipe is great for dry skin! 

INGREDIENTS 

1/4 cup olive oil

1 cup organic cane sugar

15-20 drops essential oils (See my favorite blends below)

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
  2. Store in an airtight container.

HOMEMADE GEL AIR FRESHENERToxic-free homemade gel air freshener.

Grab the recipe HERE.

These homemade gel air fresheners are another great idea for mom this Mother’s Day.  You can add in any essential oils you want to customize the scent. Check out my favorite blends HERE.

MOTHER’S DAY GIFT BASKET 

Adding all these items to a cute basket can make the gift all the better. Look for a basket that mom can reuse somewhere in her home. Add in a dish towel if you wish.

    Hi my name is Noah Boghosian, I live in California and always watch your YouTube videos because I am always looking for things to make my house more natural. I am completely obsessed with using essential oils and they are so comforting and relaxing. You are like the only person who would actually agree with me that doTerra essential oil is always the best. It’s essential oil that I can trust and know helps. But I do also use Edens Garden essential oil as it is cheaper and I can trust it. My sister is the person who got me into essential oil. She is a wholesale member with doTerra and she will give me most of my doTerra essential oil since I am not a wholesale member with doTerra. I am quite young to be so interested in essential oils as I am only 12. But I do believe it helps me. And when I use your cleaning recipes and I use them they sure do make my surfaces look cleaner and I’m not scared to use them since there are no harsh chemicals in them. I just wanted to thank you for making these recipes for all of these people since they are very helpful. I love making your recipes and using them. -Noah
