Mother’s Day Gift Box – DIY

I’m coming in late this year with my Mother’s Day gift box idea. But, better late than never! I completed these boxes just in time to get them to the post office and delivered on time. If you want more ideas, I 100% stand by my post written in 2022 “Give the mothers what they want!”

We are really blessed to have both of our mothers, both of my grandmothers and Josh’s grandmother in our lives. I decided a few years ago that I would include our grandmothers in the Mother’s Day festivities and try to do extra things for them along the way to let them know how loved they are. Last year I sent boxes of Jeni’s Ice Cream and never have received better feedback in my life!

One of my strategies for gift giving in a large family is to batch the gifts. I try to find something that is a crowd pleaser and duplicate. This year I created these Mother’s Day gift boxes with bags of my homemade and very luxurious granola (with dried cherries, pistachios and a hint of cardamom, recipe coming soon!), a fancy soda, tea, lip balm, photos and the cutest popup floral cards.

Everything can be ordered Prime on Amazon or can be picked up at your nearest grocery store. If you’re local and not traveling, I suggest adding fresh flowers and a pretty basket instead, but you just can’t go wrong with a something homemade, a nice card and a few pampering items. A few other ideas I love are HERE and HERE (bonus points for adding a breakfast sandwich or beautiful pastry.)

Mother’s Day Gift Box Items:

• Homemade Granola in mini cellophane bags with green twine
• Betty Buzz Grapefruit Soda with striped straw. I also love this bottled pink lemonade!
• Eco Lips Pomegranate Lip Balm
• Tazo Tea Passion, perfect for iced tea!
• Dark Chocolate Bars
• Artifact Uprising printed photos
• Floral Popup Cards and of course include a thoughtful note with your gift (I had Hugo add art to each card!)
