2. Coffee Cup Holder
Generally, a mug is a go-to gift for Mother’s Day. And while a new mug is not a bad gift, you can turn this cliché into a much more inventive gift really easily! A coffee cup holder is perfect for your mom to put all her Mother’s Day mugs on display in a way that is convenient and thoughtful.
All you will need is a piece of wood, some paint in your mom’s favourite colour, and a couple of hooks to hang the mugs off of. Once your masterpiece has been completed all that is left is to sneak into the kitchen and find the best place to mount it on the wall.
