Mother’s Day gift ideas for the creative mom

For the mom who likes to get creative in the kitchen, this kitchen system is a must. Much more than just a blender, this unit can do everything from crushing ice to kneading cookie dough. It comes complete with a bowl, pitcher and multiple attachments. Whether your mom likes to make frothy cocktails, pizza dough or party dip, she can do it all with the Ninja Kitchen System (Sam’s Club, $200).

If your mom loves to paint or draw, give her a new set of brushes, paints or pencils. For affordable prices and brands you can trust, turn to Hobby Lobby. You can find one in your neighborhood or shop online. Choose from the Georgian Oil Introduction Set (HobbyLobby.com, $40), Van Gogh Watercolor Set, All Media Easel Artist Set or hundreds of other gifts for the creative mom.

For the mom who loves to take pictures, give her a place to display her favorite photos. For something a little different, check out the Umbra Luna collage frame (Amazon, $39). This collage-style frame holds nine photos in a stylish round design. The frame size is perfect for photos printed at home using a photo printer.

For the artsy mom, give her something cool for her home. You can pick a piece of wall art, decor or even a coffee table book. We love The Upset: Young Contemporary Art (Amazon, $62) with its unique pictures. The book features an eclectic mix of young artists who blend classic design elements with contemporary techniques for distinct results.

Does your creative mom love to take photos for her blog, website or other work? She’ll appreciate the Square Perfect Platinum Photo Studio in a Box (Amazon, $95). This portable photo studio is perfect for taking pictures of products or collectibles. It features two light tents and eight backgrounds.

For the mom who likes to get crafty, give her some cartridges or other items to go along with her Cricut die-cut machine. The Cricut Essentials Kit (Amazon, $52) features a 7-piece tool kit, spatula, replacement blade, paper trimmer, cutting mat, cardstock paper and printed paper.
