Last minute Mother’s Day Gift Idea

Mother’s Day is 3 days away.  If you are like me, you may go into a mild panic when you realize how soon HappyMothersDay08that is!  I love homemade gifts.   However, so many times, I fail to make anything because I procrastinate. Do you relate?

Well, the good news is that there are some easy gift ideas that will take you minutes to make.  I decided on making Homemade Sugar Scrub.  I searched for recipes that only included staple pantry products.  There are many recipes out there, but since this is last minute I am sticking with the simplistic.

i love you mom tagAllison of Petite Elefant shares this recipe

Erin from $5 dinners has a guest blogger share this brown sugar recipe

I found these adorable printable Mother’s Day tags to use.

I envision my Brown Sugar Scrub grouped with a small bouquet of flowers and surrounded by chocolate. Of course, I do not have the actual picture to show you of mine yet.  Though at least I have the idea as that is half the battle. 

Are you breathing a sigh of relief?  Do you plan on making something homemade for your Mom?
