DIY Pampering Mother’s Day Gift Basket Filler Ideas for DIY gift baskets.
Spring is my favorite time of year. I love the warmer weather, gorgeous flowers, and the fact that Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14th! It is just an all around fun time of year that prepares me for the summer fun that is right around the corner. Today I am sharing some DIY Mother’s Day gift Basket Filler Ideas just in case you were thinking about making one for your mom(s).
Gift Baskets are one of my all time favorite things to receive. There is just so much joy when it comes to opening one up and discovering all the carefully curated goodies in it. We all know what our moms love, so picking up cheap beauty finds at places like CVS is a great place to start.
Right now, CVS is having some killer deals on Dove, Caress, Simple, and St. Ives products. Not only are these some of my favorite beauty brands, but they just so happen to be my mom’s too. I grew up watching her apply St. Ives lotion to her body and Dove was the soap we used religiously. My grandmother was a Caress Daily Silk kind of woman and used it for years!
Dove Go Fresh Rejuvenate Body Wash, Caress Daily Silk Body Wash, and St. Ives Apricot Oil Scrub are all on sale starting now!
If I were you, I would check my coupon inserts, and head to CVS to get some stellar deals on these beauty brands.
As you can see, AXE You Body Wash and Dove Men + Care Minerals + Sage Body Wash are also part of these deals. I bought a few products to get a head start on my Father’s Day gift basket for Jared.
My gift basket also included a candle, ear buds for my mom’s gym time, note cards because she leaves a lot of notes at work, a lightweight fashion scarf, Simple wipes to remove her makeup, and lots of beauty products from CVS.
Here are some other DIY Mother’s Day Gift Basket Filler ideas:
