A Special Gift Giving Project

Come this spring our first issue of Blessings Magazine will be available, in it we will have a focus on Mother's Day and Our Lady. With this is mind we will be providing some Mother's day gift ideas that you can make yourself!


Here is a great idea that is sure to touch the heart of anyone blessed enough to receive it.


I will use the example of myself and my mom, but you can create this gift for anyone at any time of year. Here's what you do: For every year that your mother has been your mother you write a note, poem, or recall a memory in a letter.  So this mother's day my mom will receive a package that will take her down memory lane with my reflection of the years we have shared.  


Great things to include: Photographs, poems, old cards you have given each other, artwork from your childhood. This list can go on and on, there really are no rules except to get gushy and pack this gift full of love! It would also be a great idea to include a prayer to Our Lady that you say for your mother, or whoever is receiving the gift.


Here's an example of what this DIY Mother's day gift might look like:
