Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys upcycling and repurposing old items, I have a few gift suggestions that I think she will love:

1. DIY Upcycling Kit: Consider putting together a DIY upcycling kit for your mom. Include items like old fabric scraps, buttons, beads, ribbons, and other miscellaneous items that she can use to create unique and beautiful upcycled projects. You can also include a book or magazine on upcycling for inspiration.

2. Subscription to a Craft Box: There are several subscription boxes available that cater to different crafts, including upcycling. Look for one that sends materials, tools, and project ideas specifically geared toward repurposing old items. This will provide your mom with a monthly dose of creativity and new projects to work on.

3. Vintage Thrift Store Finds: Visit some vintage thrift stores or flea markets to find unique items that your mom can upcycle. Look for old furniture, frames, or other household items that can be transformed into something new and beautiful. This will not only provide her with materials for her projects but also give her the thrill of finding hidden treasures.

4. Upcycled Jewelry: If your mom also enjoys jewelry, consider getting her a piece made from upcycled materials. Look for jewelry stores or artisans who specialize in repurposing old items into new and stylish accessories. For example, earrings made from upcycled soda can tabs or necklaces made from repurposed vintage buttons can be a perfect gift for her.

5. Upcycling Classes or Workshops: Look for local art or craft centers that offer upcycling classes or workshops. Signing your mom up for one of these classes will not only give her the opportunity to learn new techniques but also connect with other upcycling enthusiasts. This can be a wonderful and enriching experience for her.

6. Personalized Upcycled Project: If you have some creative skills, consider making a personalized upcycled project for your mom. This could be a repurposed photo frame with pictures of your family, a transformed piece of furniture with her favorite colors and patterns, or even a custom-made upcycled jewelry box. Putting your time and effort into creating something unique for her will make the gift all the more meaningful.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your mom that you understand and appreciate her passion for upcycling. By choosing a gift that aligns with her interests and hobbies, you're not only giving her a thoughtful present but also showing her how much you care about her happiness.

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”
