Mother's Day is right around the corner (Sunday, May 11) and we all know that sometimes a mom is the hardest person to shop for. I know that every time I ask my mom what she wants, she says, "nothing." Ok, so that doesn't really help me at all. So for all of you out there who still don't have a clue on what to get for the woman who has everything, here are a few ideas that you can make. (And we'll be she doesn't already have these!)

1. Homemade cosmetics: If you didn't already check out the episode on Eco-Friendly cosmetics, then watch it now. What better gift to give your mom than some beauty cosmetics that are eco-friendly that you made yourself? You can modify most of these essential oils so you can pick fragrances that she'll love the most. And if there is something that we didn't mention on the show, then pick up the Natural Beauty Recipe Book for some more great tips and ideas.

2. Personalized Photo Album or Journal: Moms love memories. It's a well known fact. And what better way to keep a track of those memories than with a journal or photo album. Martha Stewart has a great guide to a DIY journal and the DIY network has a pretty cool tutorial for using sticks and stones to outifit your journal for a outdoorsy look. But what about a different take on a photo album - accordian style? This kit will help you make a rad accordian photo album so you'll look like a DIY pro in no time! By using fabric, pictures, buttons, ribbons, paint, stencils, etc, it's easy to outfit a journal or photo album and outfit it to your mom's style.

3. Sew Her an Apron!: Now I know what you're thinking - and yes, not all moms like to cook, but aprons are so versatile that they can be used for pretty much anything from cooking, cleaning, holding arts and craft supplies, holding gardening supplies, etc. Get creative and make your mom and apron that she can use for her favorite hobby! This crafty apron (shown below) is made by Creative Little Daisy, but for some free apron patters, head over to TipNut.com for their blog post on 56 free apron patterns you can make.

4. DIY Calendars: With such a busy job keeping the kids on schedule, working, etc, a mom needs a calendar. And what better way to keep track than a personalized calendar. It's really easy. All you have to do is upload pictures to KodakGallery.com and select the pictures you want for each month. And on this site, you can also make personalized mugs, cards, shirts, etc.

5. DIY Potpourri and Candles: Sometimes nothing can be more soothing that a sweet relaxing aroma. And by that, I mean potpourri and candles. Potpourri is a little easier to make - you basically just mix together some dried flowers with essential oils and place in a decorative ceramic container. Since Mother's day is only a couple weeks away, it may be too late to dry your own flowers, but keep that in mind for the next batch you make. Here are some detailed directions from eHow. And for a book to go along with this that includes tons more recipes, check out Scented Potpourri and Floral Gifts: Gifts from Nature Series.

Candlemaking may be a little bit more difficult and because you're dealing with hot substances, so be sure to check with an adult if you're under 18. Instructables has a great tutorial on candle making. And remember you can add whatever fragrance you'd like!

6. Personalized DIY Pots: I know that my mom loves to garden, but then again she lives in San Diego. If you live in New York or somewhere else and you don't have a garden, there are other ways to decorate your pad with plants and garden life. The only thing is that those clay pots you get at the store are so boring! So here's an idea, make your own!! Here's a great write up from The New Homemaker on ideas on how to do just that. Also they offer other ideas that you can use instead of the clay pots.

Last but certainly not least, last year Craftzine.com post about Mother's Day gift ideas that you can knit and sew for your mom. These projects are easy enough that you can still get them done in time. So if you still haven't made her a present yet, now is the time!
