On March 8, every woman deserves attention and gifts. However, the main representative of the fair sex in everyone's life is mom. It is about a gift for mom on March 8 that, as a rule, children from small to large are thinking first of all. To please her on this spring day with an original present is the number one task for both adult children and those who have not yet fluttered out from under their mother's wing.
Gift ideas for March 8 mom
Mothers are different. Some are lovers of the hearth and its main keepers. They are born housewives, they love to stay at home, cook, take care of their children. Others do not at all believe that life will collapse without them, and prefer to be a worthy role model for their children: they work in a large company, actively take care of themselves, visit beauty salons. Therefore, the selection of gifts for each of them is a purely individual question. But in general, there are basic "varieties" of moms and ideas of what to give them, which, perhaps, will push you into the right thought.
We make a gift for March 8 to mom-housewife
If your mother prefers to spend as much time as possible at home, loves to immerse herself in the household, then, of course, she will most of all like things that will brighten and facilitate her home life. These can be items for the kitchen, such as new towels, bright potholders, a stylish set of dishes, an original tablecloth, and more. The main thing is to select decor elements that fit into the interior in the best way so that your present is in demand, and not stored in a closet. Many moms will appreciate the new recipe book, especially if it contains many colorful illustrations and step-by-step recipes.
One day a year, you can save your mother from household issues and strictly forbid her to appear in the kitchen on March 8th. Prepare her a festive dinner from her favorite dishes, set the table beautifully, decorate it with flowers, invite guests. Let your mom feel like the queen of the evening and a real woman worthy of such courtship. Also, a stay-at-home mom will be pleased with things that will help make her stay at home as comfortable as possible: cozy slippers, a warm robe, a new nightgown. When choosing such gifts, do not save money, because often mothers try to save on such "luxury" as expensive linen or a beautiful dressing gown. Who will give them such things besides you?
The best gift for March 8 to an intellectual mom
If your mother is a fan of real art, loves to read and listen to classical music, then she will probably not be pleased with a new set of pots on March 8. Surprise mom with a good book as a presentation. However, when choosing a book, be strictly guided by her tastes, so as not to present "One Hundred Tips for the Gardener" to a woman who cannot bear working with the land.
If finances permit, pick up some collector's edition or rare book for mom that she can hardly afford to buy. Such a book will adorn her personal library.
If mom is familiar with the latest technology, you can present her with an e-book or tablet as a gift so that her favorite books are always at her fingertips.
For a woman who is fond of classical music, the best gift will be tickets to a concert hall, philharmonic society, opera. The main thing is to buy tickets for at least two people. Keep your mom company and share her emotions with her. By the way, tickets can be beautifully presented - put into a bright postcard or invitation, placed in a bouquet of flowers. Even a banal trip to the cinema can be an event for your mom if you keep her company.
Choosing a gift for mom-leader on March 8
Women who occupy leadership positions have remained in business for many years, more often than not, they look younger than their age. Usually these mothers take a lot of time to look after their appearance. In this case, you can donate a set of expensive decorative cosmetics, a certificate to a beauty salon or spa, an anti-aging cream. A bottle of elite perfumery will also be a good gift. True, you should be careful in this matter, because you can miscalculate with the smell if you do not know for sure the tastes of your mother. To prevent this from happening, start a conversation with your mom in advance about which scents or brands of perfume she prefers. If your mom works a lot and, in your opinion, does not take care of herself, then you should give her the opportunity to relax and unwind. No money for a trip to the United Arab Emirates? Arrange at least a joint weekend outside the city. Take your mom to a holiday home, spend time in nature, ride horses, boats, go to the forest. Women who are mired in business and finance will surely rejoice at the chance to reboot.
Do-it-yourself original gifts for mom on March 8
Most often, children prefer to make hand-made gifts to mothers for March 8, into whose hands money falls from parental wallets. Asking my mother for money for a gift for her is inconvenient, which means that there is only one way out - to please my mother with a homemade present.
Making a vase from a bottle and thread by March 8
The best gift for March 8th is definitely flowers. But it is even better if the bouquet is presented to mom in a vase. Mom will appreciate this present all the more if you make it yourself. You can, for example, make a vase from a beautiful bottle or can and colored yarn.
We do it according to the following scheme:
- We select a bottle or jar of an interesting shape with a wide neck. We also stock up on yarn of one or several colors.
- We begin to apply glue (PVA or special for decoupage is suitable) with a brush on a small part of the surface, since it dries quickly.
- We wind yarn over the glue. We do this from the neck down tightly, leaving no gaps between the threads.
- We hide the thread that remained after work under the winding.
You can alternate yarns of different colors to create an interesting design. On the finished vase, you can stick decorative elements - rhinestones, halves of beads. Colored ribbons can be used instead of yarn. They are glued in the same way over a bottle or can.
Making a pendant with fingerprints for March 8
Moms are often sentimental and vulnerable. Therefore, even a small gift that will remind them of their beloved family members can become the most valuable talisman. We offer to make an original gift with your own hands - keychain pendants with fingerprints of loved ones.
We do them like this:
- Prepare salted modeling dough or polymer clay. Knead the material until smooth.
- We divide the dough or clay into as many parts as we will make pendants (according to the number of family members). We give them a shape - we roll them into a layer with a thickness of at least 5 mm, using a mold or "by eye" we cut out a figure. It can be hearts, flowers, geometric shapes (the same or different).
- We put fingerprints of family members on each finished pendant. You need to press in the material slightly to leave a dent, but do not overdo it so as not to push the material too hard and not deform the pendant.
- We make holes for rope or fasteners and send our pendants to the oven for baking.
- Ready-made pendants can be signed on the back with acrylic paint or painted.
Such a cute craft can be used as a key chain, car pendant, neck pendant.
Master class on making a book for recipes for March 8
Moms who love to cook often keep a ton of recipes. Storage space can be notebooks, notebooks, cookbooks. You can make an original cover folder for storing recipes where mom will collect her specialties.
For work, we need: a folder with a hard cover (a regular office one with a binder), fabric (about 2-2.5 times more than a folder in an expanded form), a thread for embroidery, a teaspoon.
We carry out the work in the following order:
- We will straighten the spoon, as it will become a decorative element for decorating our folder. This will require a hammer and an old towel. We wrap the spoon with a towel and knock on it with a hammer until it becomes completely flat. An aluminum spoon works best for this.
- Cut out a rectangle from a cut of fabric, which is suitable for wrapping a folder with it in the form of a cover. From each side of the folder, the fabric should protrude 2.5-3 cm.
- Mark the corners of the folder with a felt-tip pen. This will center the design to create a beautiful embroidery.
- Using the same marker, draw the desired pattern on the fabric, or write "Recipes", "Recipes" and more.
- Place the fabric on the hoop and select the letters with a decorative stitch.
- Sew the lined spoon to the cover of the folder. Additionally, you can fix it with super glue.
- We put the folder on the fabric, observing the centrality of the pattern and the location of the spoon. Bend the bottom fabric to the spine and attach it with glue. We do the same with the upper part.
- For the corners, cut out the fabric in the shape of the letter V. Bend the right and left sides of the fabric and glue them to the folder. We fix each corner separately.
- Cut out a pair of identical rectangles from thick cardboard, which will cover the inner walls of the folder. They should be slightly smaller than the walls. We glue them with glue.
- It remains to add pages with your favorite recipes to the finished folder and hand it to mom.

Preparing a box with a surprise for mom for March 8
On March 8, mom can be presented with a bright decorative box with a surprise - "butterflies" fluttering inside. It produces an amazing effect, but it is done quite simply. To make it, you will need: cardboard, colored paper, a plastic bottle, paints, decorative butterflies (you can make it yourself or buy it at a craft store).
We work according to the following scheme:
- We cut out a couple of squares from cardboard: the sides of one are 8, 2 cm, the second is 19 cm.
- We retreat 7, 4 cm from each edge of the square and draw parallel lines.
- We are preparing the base of the future box: we cut out a cross-shaped part from the cardboard and fold it so that we get the base of the box. We glue it together.
- We make the lid of the box - we retreat from the edge by 2 cm. This is the side of the lid. We cut it and glue it in the form of a lid.
- We begin to decorate the box outside and inside. We leave only the bottom of the box untouched. Cardboard can be painted, pasted over with colored paper, made patterns.
- We are preparing a surprise. We take a plastic bottle and cut it into long strips. Each strip should be 1.9 cm long and 0.5 cm wide.
- Cut out small squares of colored paper and make cuts in them. We glue this paper onto cardboard in the shape of a cross. Insert plastic strips into the cuts and glue them.
- Glue butterflies to the second end of the plastic strips. We assemble and glue the finished box structure.
When you open the box, butterflies will "fly out", which will surprise your mother a lot.

We make a bookmark like this:
- We print out the photo and cut out our own silhouette from it.
- We glue the silhouette onto the cardboard, leaving a place in the upper part not glued. Cut out the cardboard along the silhouette.
- Insert a string between the photo and the cardboard and fix it with glue. You can braid a pigtail and leave the ponytail fluffy.

With paints, you can draw a frame, bouquets of flowers, whatever comes to mind and as far as artistic ability allows.
After the "letter" is drawn up, we proceed to the most interesting. We rinse the brush and take regular milk instead of paints. It is to them that we write a message to mom. These can be kind words, declarations of love, wishes. Let the milk dry. Hand the letter to your mom on March 8th. Let her try to guess for herself what the secret of your "message" is.
