Customised Hand Sanitiser - I made these last year when I was working for a magazine. You just need a pump pack of hand sanitizer or liquid soap. Peel off the existing label, and then make your own with scrapbooking paper, ribbon, and embellishments.
Time for Tea - Last year I made up some decorated tea bags - one in match book style
and one as a card with a tea bag tucked inside. These would be a fun and inexpensive idea for kids to make and would give them plenty of room to add their own creative touch.
Bath Salts
Last year at Girl Guides, Sarah made me some wonderful scented bath salts. There are loads of recipes on the net for bath salts and bath bombs - this is an activity that girls love to do!
Cupcake Gifts
I made up some cupcake gifts for a baby shower using a paper baking case, face washer, and dummy (pacifier). Kids could easily use this idea for a gift for their Mums - simply substitute the dummy for a small chocolate, round hand soap , or a artificial flower to make it perfect for a Mothers Day Gift.
Cathy suggested Cookies in a Jar.There are loads of great recipes on line for this idea. I have done this with my kids as a Christmas gift idea and it is very popular. Here is one I made for a magazine.
Liesl received a sweet "I Love You This Much" card from her son last year. I found some instructions for a similar project. Very cute idea!
Myriam suggested decorating wooden cigar boxes with different embellishments.
Hope this inspires to get your kids creating gifts for their Mums and Grandmas!

Thanks for all these fabulous ideas! I'll do some of these with the kids. Not sure how one keeps the hand sanitiser from getting spoiled with all the dripping soap though... or is that just in my house??
