Mother's Day Ideas from Youtube

If you're looking for last-minute ideas (if the earlier posts today didn't inspire you) you can find a ton of great ideas for Mother's Day or other holidays on Youtube. It's not just for surfing cat videos or clips of people microwaving strange things (which my daughter and I did yesterday). You can get some great ideas from it too.

Here are a few links to some easy to execute do-it-yourself ideas from YouTube to make the right gift for mom:

Flowers: Why buy expensive flowers that will die in a few days when you can create your own origami rose, straw flowers or a full Mother's Day bouquet that will last a lifetime. You can even plant your homemade flower in a specially designed flower pot. 

Framed Photo: Put her favorite picture in a homemade photo frame.

Jewelry: Make a personalized jewelry clutch box, a customized scarf, earrings or a pendant necklace. 

Spa Day: Create a Home Spa Day  with everyday household items, including fruit smoothies, a luxurious lavender or rose milk bath treatment, and even a spa pedicure.

For Kids: Learn a song to sing to mom or make her some chocolate covered Oreo cookie lollipops. 

Meal:  Make a home-cooked meal for mom. Whether you’re a pro looking for new ideas or a newbie looking for instruction, these chefs have you covered.
