Big Daddy hopes you remembered that Mother’s Day is this Sunday (March 11).
If you are completely clueless on what to get your significant other for the special day, we suggest you recruit your kid to help out! There are a lot of homemade gifts that you and your little one can work on together. Trust us, these gifts will bring a tear to their eye (in a good way).
Cookie box
They say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, the same goes for a woman! Pick up a wooden box from any local crafts shop, and let your child add some paint and glitter to make it special. Then, pick up some cookie mix (a pack of Betty Crocker mix costs £1.65 at Sainsbury’s) and start baking.
Paper Flowers
Flowers for a deserving mother! Get your child to create these beautiful magazine flowers that will surely warm her heart. Watch this video to see how to create a beautiful bouquet.

Creative Coasters
Let your kid show off their artistic flair with these coaster designs. Buy some colourful wool either online or at a nearby crafts shop. Then, use a ruler and pencil to draw rectangles and squares of different sizes. Cut these pieces out and put them onto the sticky side of white adhesive-backed felt. Once they are completely covered, cut the decorated felt sheet into four inch squares. This homemade gift will go perfectly with a nice cuppa on Sunday morning.

Homemade bracelet
Make this quick and easy bracelet for your significant other to remind her of how much she is loved every time she looks at it. Get small wooden beads, then you and your child paint your faces on each one. Attach the beads on a nice piece of ribbon, and you’ll have a beautiful bracelet that’ll make her forget that about that £200 Prada bracelet that she was eyeing for months.
