Once again Mother’s Day is just around the corner. While this date tends to fly right up to us and can sometimes catch us off guard, there’s no reason that with a little planning and consideration can go a long way.
To help you plan for a good Mother’s Day this year, here are some gift ideas for the yarn-loving woman in your life. There are plenty of creative ways you can encourage the craft of someone who loves to knit and crochet. You’ll look like a star when you give your mom these gifts!
Yarn Bouquet
For the mother who loves to knit, swap out a traditional flower bouquet for a colorful yarn bouquet. You don’t have to look too hard to find the best and brightest springtime colors since a quick visit to your favourite online yarn store will show you everything you need.
You can even go for a cheeky and memorable presentation by creating a paper and cellophane cone just like you would get at a flower shop. Keep things seasonal by sticking to springtime colors like soft pastels and light neutrals. Ideally, the yarn colors you choose will coordinate, so browse online and stop by Yarnspirations to see more options of finished projects and their color schemes.
Lotions, Oils, and Scents for Knitters
Give an extra thoughtful gift this year and get your mom some items that will make her knitting and crocheting experience more enjoyable — and even luxurious! Hand balm makes it easier to knit and keeps hands from drying up and catching on the yarn.
Major knitting projects require plenty of yarn handling, so a soothing and gorgeous-smelling balm can keep her hands in the best condition. As a little something extra, why not tag on a lavender or cedar-filled pouch to better store mom’s yarn? The smell is lovely and tossed into a basket or drawer of yarn, it can help keep moths and mites away.
Crochet Your Own Gift Basket
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a truly lovely gift basket? Whether it was filled with fruits, cheese, soaps, chocolate, or anything else that can go into a gift basket, it’s always great to receive and open up a gift basket. There’s so many ways you can fill it and plenty of different themes and styles you can use.
If you’re planning on gifting a collection of small items to the mother figure in your life this year, why not personalize the gift by putting it all in a handmade crochet basket? You don’t have to be an advanced crocheter to make a basket yourself, and putting a little thought into the container for your gift means that your mother will also get a reusable basket.
Crochet baskets are super versatile and can fit into any room in the home. Once all the treats in the basket are used up, your crocheted piece can find its forever home next to mom’s favourite armchair, filled with yarn for her own crafty projects.
