Mother’s Day is literally just a few days away, this is your reminder! Celebrated in almost every corner of the world, this is the day to recognize the mother figure in your life. DIY gifts are sweet and personalized, bringing joy into both the lives of the one creating and the one receiving. If the kids haven’t started the handmade tradition yet – now is the time.

Get out the supplies for this easy, heartfelt Mother’s Day gift; perfect not only for Mom but also for Grandma, Godmother, Auntie or any other influential woman being celebrated. It may seem corny, but a homemade gift from the heart is often the best gift of all; the sentiment of love and appreciation is what matters.


There’s nobody like mom, so why even think about getting her one of those cookie-cutter store-bought cards? This year, we at The LifeStyleHer decided to skip the card and craft a symbolic gesture to show our love and appreciation with “Filled with Love:”
