Terra cotta or plastic pot and drip tray     

Ribbon  

Acrylic or poster paint

PVA Glue 

Paint brushes

Pebble

Packet of seeds

Bag of gravel

Bag of compost

Painted pebble

Make sure that the pot is dry and clean of any dirt. 

Mix one dollop of PVA to every two dollops paint. - This will  ensure that the paint is shiny and waterproof.

Paint any design onto the pot that you fancy.

Carry the design over to the drip try as well.

Don't use the pot and drip try until it is totally dry.

Fill up the pot with all the goodies as mentioned above.  

Place the drip tray on the top and tie a ribbon around it.  

Cut two pieces of ribbon, make sure they are long enough to make a bow at the top of the pot.

Cross the two ribbons in the middle. 

Sit the pot in the center of the crossed ribbon.   

Tie one set of ribbons up first, then bring the other two ends up and tie them in a bow

Give Mother's Day coupons that mom can cash in whenever she wishes.

Either buy a small notebook and write the coupons in there, or cut out little cardboard hearts and write the messages on them (you can keep all the cardboard hearts together by putting them into a small box. You can then decorate the box with pictures, stickers, etc.).

Some ideas for the coupons are:

"Wash and Dry the Dishes"

"Set the Table"

"Hugs and Kisses"

"Rake the Leaves"

"Clean my Room"

"Do the laundry"

"One Hour of Quiet Time" for mom to enjoy a relaxing bubblebath"

"One whole family-free afternoon"

"One Free Car Wash"

You get the idea, use your imagination!
