Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who loves upcycling and repurposing objects, here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas that will surely make her smile on her birthday:

1. DIY Upcycling Kit: Put together a thoughtful and creative DIY upcycling kit for your mom. Include materials like old jars, bottles, fabric scraps, buttons, and various other odds and ends that she can use to create unique and beautiful upcycled crafts. You can also include a booklet or guide with upcycling project ideas and techniques to inspire her creativity.

2. Vintage or Antique Furniture Piece: If your mom enjoys breathing new life into old furniture, consider gifting her a vintage or antique piece that she can revamp. Look for a unique chair, table, or dresser with good bones but in need of some TLC. This will give her a new project to work on and allow her to showcase her creativity and upcycling skills.

3. Subscription to an upcycling or DIY magazine: Keep your mom inspired throughout the year by gifting her a subscription to an upcycling or DIY magazine. There are several publications dedicated to thrifty crafts, repurposing ideas, and step-by-step tutorials. This gift will provide her with a wealth of new project ideas and tips from the upcycling community.

4. Upcycled Jewelry: Consider gifting your mom upcycled jewelry pieces that are not only sustainable but also unique. Look for jewelry made from repurposed materials like old typewriter keys, vintage buttons, or scraps of fabric. These one-of-a-kind pieces will not only complement her style but also showcase her commitment to eco-friendly fashion.

5. Workshop or Class: If your mom enjoys learning new upcycling techniques, consider gifting her a workshop or class where she can expand her skills. Look for local craft or creative studios that offer upcycling workshops on topics such as furniture restoration, clothing upcycling, or repurposing home décor. This experience will allow her to connect with like-minded individuals while learning new skills.

6. Customized Upcycled Sign: Personalize a sign for your mom's upcycling space or creative corner. You can either find a vintage sign and paint a meaningful quote or saying that resonates with her upcycling passion, or you can create a sign from scratch using repurposed materials. This thoughtful gift will serve as a constant reminder of her love for upcycling and make her space even more special.

Remember, the most important thing when choosing a gift for your mom is to consider her interests and passions. A gift that aligns with her love for upcycling and repurposing objects will not only show your thoughtfulness but also support her creative endeavors.

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”
