When it comes to trying to find the perfect gift for the mother figures in your life, think back to elementary school days and your mom’s reaction to handcrafted picture frames and hand molds you created in art class.

As much as we love to support local businesses across the state (which we still recommend), sentimental and personal gifts are the way to a mom’s heart.

See below seven gift ideas for you and the kids to make to celebrate the amazing women in your life:

  1. Take and print a candid photo of mom with her kid(s) and frame it.
  2. Write a handwritten note or card.
  3. Bake her favorite dessert.
  4. Paint a picture of her favorite vacation spot or another thing she loves.
  5. Pick flowers from the garden and make her a bouquet.
  6. Make her favorite brunch foods (bonus points for breakfast in bed or a picnic).
  7. Plan a movie night with her favorite sweet and savory snacks (don’t forget the cozy blankets and pillows).
