5 Personalized DIY Mother’s Day Gift Ideas Using Natural Ingredients

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate all the love and care moms give daily, through the little things, the quiet support, and the strength they show without expecting anything in return. And while a card or flowers are always welcome, there’s something extra special about a hand-made gift.

For those who enjoy crafting or formulating with natural ingredients, this is a perfect time to create something meaningful. From fizzy bath treats to soothing shower bombs, these projects are simple to make and filled with intention.

At NaturalBulkSupplies.com, we love supporting small businesses, hobbyists, and first-time makers with high-quality ingredients that make DIY feel easy and rewarding. Whether you’re making something for your mom, your sister, or a friend who deserves a little love, here are five thoughtful ideas to get you started.

1. Soothing Salt Soaks & Milk Baths – A Spa Experience at Home

One of the most classic and relaxing gifts you can make is a bath soak. By blending mineral-rich salts with powdered milk, dried flowers, and a soft fragrance, you create a calming soak that feels indulgent and personal.

Customize it with your mom’s favorite scent, then package it in a glass jar with a handwritten label. It’s simple but meaningful, and always appreciated.

Why it’s a great gift idea:

• Easy to make with just a few ingredients
• Supports relaxation and nourishes the skin
• Looks beautiful when packaged thoughtfully

2. Colorful Bath Fizzy Dust – A Fun and Easy DIY Gift

If you love bath bombs but want a quicker option, bath fizzy dust is the perfect solution. It delivers all the fizz and fragrance without needing any molds. With baking soda, citric acid, SCI powder, and your favorite fragrance oil, you can make a fun, sensory-rich treat.

Layer colors, experiment with scent blends, and gift it in a clear jar with a scoop; it’s great for kids and adults alike.

Why it’s perfect for Mother’s Day:

• No special tools or molds required
• Completely customizable with scent and color
• A fun way to gift relaxation in a jar

3. Drizzles for Bath Bombs & Bubble Bars – Add a Handmade Touch

A quick drizzle made with natural butters gives any bath bomb or bubble bar a handcrafted, polished look. You can keep it simple or add soft color with safe ingredients, and it instantly elevates your gift.

Whether you're gifting bath treats or selling them in your shop, a drizzle adds that boutique finishing touch.

Why moms will love it:

• Makes your gift feel extra special
• Easy to apply with just a spoon or a piping bag
• Adds fragrance and visual appeal

4. Wonder Bar Bubble Bars – Foamy Fun, Made with Love

Wonder Bars are a favorite in the DIY world. These solid bars create big, soft bubbles when crumbled under water — and they’re fun to shape, decorate, and scent. They’re made with SCI powder, BTMS-50, glycerin, and other skin-loving ingredients that cleanse gently while making bath time extra enjoyable.

You can shape them into hearts or flowers or even write a message with piped frosting.

What makes them a special gift?

• Great lather and gentle cleansing
• Can be customized in endless ways
• An excellent project for beginner or advanced makers

5. Shower Bombs – A Thoughtful Aromatherapy Gift for Moms on the Go

Not every mom takes long baths, but a steamy, aromatic shower is just as comforting. Shower bombs (also called shower steamers) are made with baking soda, citric acid, and essential oils, and they release relaxing or energizing scents as they fizz in the steam.

They're easy to make and package beautifully in sets.

Why they’re a thoughtful DIY gift idea:

• Perfect for moms who prefer showers
• Customizable with different essential oils
• Can be gifted in cute kraft boxes or organza bags
