Don’t worry I’ve got you. Here are some of my favorite last minute Mother’s Day gifts that your mom will definitely love.

 

Polaroid Photo Coasters

These cute polaroid photo coasters would be a great gift for mom. And since you only need photos, modge podge, and a ceramic tile it would make it a great last minute gift.

Gardening Essentials Gift Basket

My next idea is to make a gardening essentials gift basket! Fill it up with those gardening essentials that are often forgotten. Fill up a small planter or pot with:

  • small bottles of insect repellent
  • Essential oils that are good for controlling pests in the garden (check out this article about controlling pests with essential oils
  • Sunscreen
  • Lip balm (check out our DIY pumpkin flavored lip balm recipe!)
  • Garden plant markers
  • A hand held fan and mister

You could also throw in a couple packets of seeds, a small shovel and you’re good to go! Check out this link for more planter gift basket ideas!

 

Homemade Soap

Homemade soap is an awesome gift. And making soap doesn’t have to be hard! This recipe only takes 10 minutes to make and it only has a couple of ingredients! This would be an amazing last minute gift for your mom.

 

Or you can buy great smelling handmade goat’s milk soap in our store right here!

 

Sweatshirt Garden Gloves

Ok, so this idea is my favorite. These gloves are made out of an old sweatshirt and they only take about 10 minutes to make! They’re so easy to make and it’s a great way to reuse some of your old sweatshirts!

 

Homemade Body Butter

Ok, so I have a pretty amazing recipe for a coconut oil, lavender whipped body butter, if I do say so myself. It only has two ingredients and you could make some as an easy gift for mom. Check out the recipe and instructions here.

Floral Tea Bags

So I love herbal tea. And my mom loves herbal tea. So these cute floral tea bags are a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. Plus they only take about five minutes to make.

 

DIY Essential Oil Reed Diffuser

Essential oils are the best. Which is why I love this DIY essential oil reed diffuser. This won’t take long to make and you may already have everything you need at home.

Gardening “Coupons”

Tight on funds? Remember when you were a kid and you would give your mom “coupons” she could redeem for a back rub, cooking dinner, or an extra chore?

 

I definitely gave my mom quite a few of those as a kid. If you live close to your mom, why not give her some gardening themed “coupons” now?

 

You could give her one for a lawn mow, an entire yard weeding, or you could offer to plant and take care of a garden for your mom if she’s getting older or doesn’t have time.

 

You don’t have to spend money to give an amazing gift! Go spend some quality time with your mom out in the garden chatting, weeding, and enjoying your time spent together in the outdoors!

  • Well, whatever plague my daughter has had this week (She had to go to the doctor for the 3rd time in 2 weeks yesterday), I've now got it too. I couldn't even get up last night to put my ducks away - Larry had to do it.
.
Honestly, as long as they get fed, I'm pretty sure my ducks are fine not seeing me for a day.
.
If ever there was a case for homeschooling (which I'm not patient enough to do), the 3 billion communicable diseases children pick up at school is it.
  • We've been restocking my Amazon store this week (link in profile), which is a bit of an overwhelming process. So, I'm having a hard time remembering what day it is - I thought it was Saturday for some reason!
.
The chickens enjoyed a whole day without rain - they played outside, fought with the ducks, flew up on their swings, and more.
.
It was also warm yesterday, which gave them more reason to be joyful. If it's warm out again today, I might try to get some good photos of my bantam cochin hen wearing her tutu.
.
I've said it once, and I'll say it again - I love this breed because they're like the toy poodles of the backyard chicken world. I can't wait until May when my chicks arrive! I want a whole flock of bantam cochins!
  • It poured here AGAIN. I slept through it, but apparently, the wind blew from one direction while the rain blew from another.
.
And all my pastures are under water for the 3 millionth time this winter. What a mess!
.
The ducks are happy though - the wind yesterday blew open their run, and they had a fine time running around the farm, playing in all the water.
.
Ducks are DEVOTED to their water - if they don't have enough in their pool, I hear all about it. They want to speak to my manager! LOL!
.
I've kind of been able to count them - they move around faster than ants and they go EVERYWHERE like cats. Mix that with my poor vision, and it makes counting kind of hard.
.
If I counted correctly, we have 7 duck hens - and they should be all laying soon! I can't wait to get a ton of duck eggs every day!
  • We've added several new mugs and tumblers to our shop this week. I'm excited because this is a project we've had in the works for a while!
.
I think the backyard chicken life should be celebrated. Chickens are such wonderful pets!
.
I love taking these mugs with me to the coop (filled with hot chocolate since I can't drink coffee) and spending some quiet time with my flock before the day really begins!
.
Featured: "Life Is Better On The Farm" mug. Link in profile.
  • I have a love /hate relationship with this tiny rooster. He's all of 3 inches high but loves to attack my feet. I seriously have no idea why.
.
He's a rescue and I'm pretty sure the reason I got him is because, to someone not experienced with chickens, he can be scary.
.
But I wear boots in my coop all the time. So, he's essentially a mosquito. It's pretty cute.
.
Sometimes he wanders off and I have to catch him. He doesn't like that, and protests loudly. But he doesn't attack me. He just squaks loudly.
.
But when I have a treat? He's my best friend. What a character!
