There are many ways you can make handmade ornaments. You can even spruce up the old ones you have at home! Moms will also love these tattoo ornaments or these hand-lettered ones.

9. Christmas Tea Tree

For tea-loving moms, the Christmas Tea Tree is the perfect DIY Christmas gift! Not only does it work great as a table centerpiece, but who doesn’t love a cup of warm tea on cold winter days? You’re sure to warm up any mom’s heart with this useful and thoughtful gift.

 

For the Funny Mom

10. Witty Embroidered Hankies

If you’re a wiz at embroidery, you can try making witty embroidered hankies. Use plain, cotton hankies to contrast the funny statement you’re going to sew on it.

Make the gift recipient laugh with phrases like: “there, there,” “blow me,” and “no ugly crying” sewn on the hankies.

Here’s a tip: Write the phrases out in water-soluble markers to serve as your stitching guide.

11. Funny Embroidered Gloves

If your mom friends don’t use hankies anymore, funny embroidered gloves might do the trick. You can embroider phrases on the knuckle area of wool or knit gloves. When she wears them, it’ll look like mommy’s got a knuckle tattoo!

Using the same stitching technique for the hanky project, you can stitch on phrases like “lady-like” or “I glove you!” It’s the perfect gift for winter!

 

For the Mom Who Loves to Travel

12. Travel Keepsake Box

If you have a mommy friend who loves traveling, a travel keepsake box is the perfect DIY Christmas gift for her. All you need is a plain, sturdy box where she can keep her favorite souvenirs in one place.

You can decorate the lid with a print out of the map of the place she visited. If you want a more minimalist look, you can simply stencil the name of the place on one side of the box.

13. Toiletry Travel Bag

Make any mom’s next trip extra special by putting together a premium toiletry travel bag made just for her! First, pick out a cute toiletry bag, then fill it up with her favorite travel-sized beauty products. How thoughtful!

 

For the Mom with a Baby or Toddler

14. Handprint Baby/Toddler Art

Moms love homemade Christmas gifts, especially if they’re made with little hands. They’ll get a kick out of these handprint pot holders. Another cute present she’ll love are these thumbprint reindeer mugs. Those little thumbprints are adorable!

15. Salt Dough Hand/Footprint Ornament

Salt dough ornament making – 4 cups flour + 1 cup salt + 1.5 cups warm water. Mix, roll, cut, shape, bake at 300°F 1 hr. Leave to cool & paint. Lots of fun & not expensive! @weddingtonprmry #halftermfun pic.twitter.com/ZDDQc69I4C

— Kelly Davey Nicklin (@KellyDNicklin) February 21, 2018

You can make these salt dough ornaments even more meaningful by involving the kids. Use their chubby little hands and feet instead of the usual Christmas themed cookie cutter.

To make this gift extra special, don’t forget to paint the year on the back or bottom of the ornament. With each year that goes by, mom will marvel at how little her child’s hands and feet used to be.

 

For the Mom Who Loves Getting Pampered

16. Sugar Scrubs

For the Foodie Mom

18. Reindeer Bottled Drinks

19. Homemade Jam

Give mommy a break in the kitchen by gifting her homemade jam. More traditional moms might enjoy this version of mixed berry jam. But if you’re feeling adventurous, try gifting her with homemade caramelized onion and bacon jam.
