Gifts for the mom who could buy it but thinks DIY is sweeter

From Kate Greer, Iowa-native and San Francisco-based founder of Cheerie Lane Popcorn, here's a gift guide for the creatively inclined mom. While it’s definitely not possible to do it all, sometimes being able to do it yourself and then get to interact with something you made yourself is the little moment of warmth you need in the current of life. This gift guide is for all the moms who love the process of creating with their own hands, sometimes with their families, sometimes for some treasured solo time.

Our curators independently select products for our gift guides, but Thingtesting may earn a commission if you make a purchase — supporting our mission at no extra cost to you. We always encourage you to read reviews and shop thoughtfully.
