6 awesome (edible) MOTHER'S DAY gift ideas... and they are budget-friendly too!

If you have a mom that doesn't like clutter, these edible gifts are for you. I absolutely love them all, but the "breakfast in bed" tray is my favourite. Perfect for Mother's Day!



Keep scrolling or check out the video I made here.



1) Chocolate bar "flower" arrangement - You can get all the supplies you need at your local dollar store. Then, attach the bars to skewers and insert them into floral foam inside a pot. Easy peasy, and lots of fun!





2) A donut bouquet - Grab a box of donut holes, wooden skewers and tissue paper. Insert the skewers into the donuts, secure the skewers with an elastic, wrap the bouquet with tissue paper, and secure with a ribbon.




3) A "LOVE" breakfast tray - Make a bacon "L", a donut "O", a heart-shaped "V" (made from toast, french toast, or a pancake), and a fruit "E". So cute... and super easy!




4) A "secret stash" of treats for mom - Grab a dollar store container, fill each compartment with a different treat, and attach the cute label I designed. You can download the labels for free here.




5) A "date" with mom - The best gift is time spent together, so I LOVE this idea. Buy an ice cream gift card, package it in a fun way, and take mom out on a "date". Fun, right?



6) The BEST "breakfast in bed" tray - Grab a drink tray, add mom's favourite beverage, pop in a candle, and include a sweet treat or breakfast sandwich. Easy peasy... and it pairs well with a good book and a warm bath.



As a mom, I love all these ideas. Which one is your favourite?

Happy Mother's Day!
