What are your mornings like? Do you have a routine that you stick to every day? Or do you grab and go frantically as you head out the door? I’ll admit, most days I’m frantically running out the door with kids and bags in tow. This is not how I like to start my morning, but sometimes my 2 little ones have a different plan that throws me off a bit. An ideal morning for me starts with a little pampering. Nothing fancy, just clean teeth, maybe a nice facial scrub and a little lip balm. It’s what I need to feel refreshed and ready to conquer whatever the day has in store. With Mother’s Day approaching I thought the perfect gift for Mom might include a few of these key items that could help a Mom start her day off right.

Not only is Mother’s Day approaching, but Spring is here! This time of year I like to get outside and spend time with friends. It’s the perfect time of year for a little pampering. This DIY gift for Mom includes a few items that will help her feel refreshed in the morning and look great for impromptu Spring meet ups.

Here is what I included in this gift for Mom:

DIY Color Block Tote (read on for the easy tutorial)
Philips Sonicare Essence
Lip Balm
Face Mask
Face Cloth

This tote bag was ridiculously easy to make. Here is what I used:

Canvas zip bag
Fabric markers
Ruler
Pencil

I started by drawing intersecting lines on the bag with a pencil.

Then I colored in the triangles with bright and fun fabric markers. These markers are permanent and the bag can be washed after the color has set after 24 hours.

I filled this bag with items any Mom would love and could use to help her start her morning right. You can fill your custom bag with whatever the Mom is your life loves best; a special cream, lipstick or scent. The Philips Sonicare Essence is a great addition to this gift. It removes 2X more plaque that a manual toothbrush and will help Mom feel confident about her beautiful smile. I picked up all my supplies for this Mother’s Day gift, including the Philips Sonicare Essence, at Walmart.
