With another year comes another Mother's Day. It can be stressful as you try to find the perfect gift for mom. After all, she's a fun and special lady and you want to show your appreciation with a thoughtful gift. Luckily, because she's such an interesting person, she probably has a hobby to match. A hobby is an excellent place to start when it comes to getting a gift, and creating a gift basket is a brilliant way to make a present even more interesting. With that in mind, here are three hobbies and the corresponding gift basket you can make for Mother's Day.
If Mom's a gardener
If the mom in your life has a thriving garden that she works hard on, then this is the gift basket for her. You'll just need a couple of things. First, for the center of the gift basket, you should get some garden implements. A trowel and a pair of gardening gloves would be a great start. You can also get a book on gardening; just try to find something that matches her specific interest. For example, if you know she's focusing on an organic garden, get her a book on organic gardening.
To fill in the rest of the basket, seed packets work as a great filler. Once again, try and get types that you think she's interested in growing. If she likes to plant fruits and veggies, get her seeds for strawberries, tomatoes, snap peas, chives, or carrots (just to name a few). Or maybe she has a beautiful ornamental flower garden. In that case your seed packets could include daisies, roses, pansies, daffodils, and sunflowers. Pick out things you think she'll enjoy in her garden, and you'll have a fantastic Mother's Day Gift Basket.
The Mom Who Collects
If you've got a mom who enjoys collecting something, then getting her things to fill her gift basket should be easy. Just for an example, let's say she collects stuffed animals. First, you should get a medium to large stuffed animal. This will be the "backbone" of your gift basket, as you'll put it to the back and center of the basket. Try to keep her tastes in mind too when picking out the plush toy. If she only collects teddy bears, then get her a teddy bear. Or, if she uses her stuffed animal collection as home decoration, then make sure the plush bear, dolphin, or whatever you get her matches the decor.
Now you have a couple of choices for filling the rest of the basket. If you want to really carry on the Mother's Day theme, then get some smaller stuffed animals of the same species as your large one. Then you have "mother" and "children." Or you could even fill the extra basket space with flowers, real or fake, depending on your (or her) preference.
The Mom Who Cooks
Or maybe you've got a mom who's got a passion for cooking. She experiments with recipes and makes some amazing dishes. The first thing you should get her for her gift basket is a nice recipe box or an album for recipes. If you really want to be thoughtful, you can even copy down her recipes into the box/album for her.
To fill the rest of the basket get some cooking staples. These can include any combination of oven mitts, cooking utensils, olive oil or herbs and spices. Make sure to get high quality ingredients so that mom has the basics to match her high quality cooking.
So there you go! Three hobbies and the corresponding gift baskets you can make! Once you've done that get some cellophane wrap and some ribbon and finish wrapping the basket. These finishing touches will really make your Mother's Day gift attractive aesthetically too! Now mom can have a very happy Mother's Day.
