* For your mom who loves to garden: in a planter pot put green tissue paper in the bottom and add new garden gloves, seeds to her favorite flowers, hands tools, etc.

* For the DIY dad: go to your local home repair store and purchase an empty paint can, a few tools, gloves and a easy DIY book. Put the tools and gloves in the can. Place the can and the book in a gift bag.

* For your mom or sister: create coupons that can be redeemed to meet up for a professional manicure, to go shopping, a day at the museum, etc. If you want you can attach something to the coupons such as a fun bracelet to the shopping coupon, a bottle of nail polish to the manicure coupon.
