Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves repurposing thrift store finds, I have a few gift ideas that I think she will absolutely adore. These gifts will not only match her passion for repurposing but also add a touch of personalization to her projects.

1. Vintage DIY Book: Look for a book that specializes in vintage crafts or repurposing projects. It could be a guide on how to upcycle old furniture, create unique home decor pieces, or transform clothing. This book will provide her with fresh ideas and inspiration for her projects.

2. Subscription to a Crafting Magazine: Find a subscription to a crafting magazine that focuses on upcycling and DIY projects. These magazines often include step-by-step guides, tutorials, and tips to stay connected with the latest trends in repurposing. It would give your mom a monthly dose of ideas and inspiration.

3. Thrift Store Gift Cards: Giving your mom a gift card to her favorite thrift store will not only allow her to continue her love for repurposing but also give her the freedom to explore and select items that catch her eye. It's a wonderful excuse for her to spend some quality time searching for unique finds and adding new treasures to her collection.

4. Personalized Crafting Supplies: Consider personalized crafting supplies like wooden stamps with her initials, a custom-made stencil with her favorite quote, or even a set of paintbrushes with her name engraved on the handles. These items will make her feel special and show that you've put thought into choosing a gift that aligns with her love for repurposing.

5. DIY Craft Kits: Look for DIY craft kits that focus on repurposing or upcycling specific items. For example, there are kits that provide everything needed to turn an old book into a decorative box or a mason jar into a customized lamp. These kits will provide all the necessary materials and instructions for her next repurposing project.

6. Handmade Personalized Storage: Help your mom organize her repurposed treasures with personalized storage containers. You could find or create decorative boxes, baskets, or bins and add her initials, a special quote, or a design that reflects her style. These personalized storage items will add a unique touch to her crafting space.

7. Handpicked, Pre-Loved Items: Show your mom that you understand her taste by scouting local thrift stores or flea markets for unusual, one-of-a-kind pieces that you think she would enjoy repurposing. It could be a vintage teacup set, antique picture frames, or ornate drawer pulls. These unique finds will excite her and provide a starting point for her next creative project.

Remember, the most important aspect of these gifts is that they demonstrate your thoughtfulness and understanding of your mom's passion for repurposing. Whether it's a book to inspire her, a magazine to keep her inspired, or personalized items to enhance her creativity, by taking her interests into account, your gift will be a reflection of your love and support for her hobby.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
