What does love mom the most? Her children, you may answer. What does she love to get from her children? She loves getting homemade gifts, even homemade Christmas gifts. You may think just because you are an adult you can't or shouldn't make her Christmas gifts? Why in the world would you ever think that?
Don't you realize that mom loves everything homemade? Mom also loves everything and anything her children make. Don't worry about not having any creativity skills. There are plenty of homemade gift ideas that take little to no creativity skills to make, besides once you get started you may be surprised to find out just how much talent you actually have.
Here are a few suggestions to get you started on making mom a homemade gift or two:
Write mom a poem. You could write a fun poem, a sentimental poem or even a poem about winter and past Christmas seasons. Then place the poem in a nice photo frame or make a greeting type card from it using your computer and printer.
Make mom a special beaded ornament:
You will need some pipe cleaners and beads in Christmas colors
Bend the pipe cleaner to form a shape such as a star, run the pip cleaner through each bead one at a time, twist together at the end.
You can even add bells or holly berries to the ornament.
Does your mom have style, especially holiday style? In you answered yes, you may want to make her some festive napkins.
You will need:
Pieces of felt
Scissors
Glue
Fabric
Plain napkins (hopefully in Christmas colors such as red or green)
Mini pom poms
Cut out decorative shapes such as a Christmas tree or wreath out of the felt.
Glue a shape onto the corner of a napkin. You can use the pom poms to make the napkin a bit more festive and the fabric to help decorate it some.
If those ideas aren't your style here are a few more suggestions:
Christmas cookies or cakes
A Christmas meal
A gift basket containing some of her favorite things
A photo album
Using your computer you could take special old photographs, copy them and even edit them some
Like taking old family pictures and putting them together in a collage
Starting with Grandma and working your way down to the youngest.
What would mom love more than Homemade Christmas Gifts? Can you really think of anything?
