5 Handmade Home and Garden Gifts Perfect for Mother's Day

Social media today has us DIYing more than ever. Instagram and Pinterest are havens for all things handmade and crafty. At Virtually Staging Properties, we believe in the power of gifts with a purpose. Here are our top 5 picks for handmade home and garden gifts perfect for any Mom in your life on Mother’s Day.
- Garden Stepping Stones – Have kids or grandkids collect small trinkets and treasures, then set them in concrete. Clean and polish the top edge and Mom will enjoy a beautiful, heartfelt addition to any garden space.
- Table Tray and Box – Customize a plain table tray and trinket box with wood or glass tiles. Create a herringbone pattern in Mom’s favorite colors, and seal it for use in the office, kitchen, or even bathroom.
- Handmade Art Candles – Get vellum paper and have the kids draw something special for Mom. Next, get a hurricane glass candle holder and wrap the vellum drawing around it. Secure it with tape or ribbon. Every time Mom lights the candle, the precious drawing will illuminate the room.
- Embellished Photo Frames – Make a home decor staple really unique by purchasing blank photo frames that you or the kids can decorate. Customize frames with fingerprints, artwork, flowers, or anything the Mom in your life loves.
- Macrame Planter – Macrame is back in a big way. Use this classic craft idea to make a hammock for a small planter or vase. Add in fresh cut flowers or a succulent and Mom can hang her charming planter in any room of the house.

What Our Clients Say
“Virtually Staging Properties offers a phenomenal service! I have listings that have little to no furnishings and need to be brought to life and VSP does just that. My clients love the product and my virtual photos get wonderful internet exposure. I have sold every virtually staged home by VSP faster and will recommend the service to my Realtor colleagues. Thank You!!”
IRINA BABB, Realtor | Re/Max Allegiance – Virginia
“We list all our vacant properties with virtually staged photos by VSP and we always get a contract within the first 2 -4 weeks after posting the listing along with the photos online. Other agents comment on our virtual photos and we have referred numerous agents to you all because of the success we have had with your company! “
CYNDI OHRT, Realtor | Keller Williams Realty – Virginia
“You all did a phenomenal job on these virtual staging photos! Really, I can’t say enough how much I love them. They are absolutely stunning and my clients are thrilled!”
SHEILA SALVITTI, Agent | Coldwell Banker Premier Properties – Pennsylvania
“I only post virtually staged photos by VSP for my vacant listings and it is an excellent service instead of having blank rooms for buyers to view online.”
MARTHA MAY, Realtor | Koenig & Strey – Illinois
“We received 2 offers in less than a week and a half. The property was listed with vacant photos for over 220 days on the market with no offers. Many buyers passed on the house but after posting the virtual photos, they changed their minds and we definitely saw an increase in buyer traffic!”
