As well as taking mum out to a fab Mothers Day event this year, any Mum would be delighted with a Mother’s Day gift hamper filled with her favourite things.

Why Mother’s Day gift hampers are great!
A gift hamper can be perfectly tailored to suit your Mum’s tastes, and they’re readily available or easy to make.

Best of all, a gift hamper is just like a treasure chest filled with delights, and the delight on Mum’s face will be evident!

The pros of shop-bought gift hampers
- Convenient – The contents have already been selected and laid out and the hamper is ready to give

The cons of shop-bought gift hampers

- Value – You could end up paying for things in the hamper that won’t get used
- Mass-produced – The gifts are generic

Consider a reusable storage basket, tote bag, cooler bag, Esky, pretty cardboard box or even a small suitcase if Mum loves to travel. A decorative planter from a garden centre can also work well depending on your theme. Here are some things you could include in your DIY Mother’s Day gift hamper:
- Her favourite foods – biscuits, cake, chocolates, snack items, gourmet delicatessen, fruit and home-baked goodies
- Tickets to a show or experience that you can enjoy together
- Her favourite tea or coffee brand – consider a new cup or mug too!
- Handmade pictures or crafts from the kids are always popular!
- Spa or massage voucher
- Her favourite wine or liqueur and a fancy new glass to drink it from
- Toiletries and perfume
- A booklet of vouchers entitling her to breakfasts in bed, sleep-ins and bubble baths.
- A movie of her preferred genre or the latest book from her favourite author
- Mini photo album filled with family memories
- A plant or seeds if Mum loves gardening, with new gloves and a trowel
- Jewellery
You can buy rolls of cellophane at variety stores and newsagents to wrap your hamper, and bags of coloured shredded paper or craft straw from craft shops to help with the layout. To make it even more exciting, individually wrap all the little gifts inside in paper or fabric gift bags. Add a ribbon or bow and you’re good to go!
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
