2. Heart-Shaped Cookie Envelope
Sometimes less is more, and that definitely holds true with these adorable cookie packages. Use a mini heart-shaped cookie cutter to make cookies from your favorite sugar cookie recipe. Place them in a wax paper envelope and leave them in Mom’s mailbox. Complete them with a hand-written return address so she knows who they’re from.
3. Decorate The Front Door
This idea is probably the simplest to pull off. Simply buy a beautiful hanging basket and plant Mom’s favorite flowers inside. Hang one on either side of her front door for some cheery spring vibes.
4. Homemade Treats
