18 Homemade Mother's Day Gifts

This vacation memory jar featured on Echoes of Laughter is not only a charming gift idea for Mother's Day, but a great learning activity for your kids!

They'll enjoy searching for related items they can include in the jar along with a family photo, and Mom will love to display the keepsake. To add a special touch, mom Angie uses scrapbooking embellishments; check out the rest of her tutorial for more tips.
