Mother’s Day Gift: Cactus in a Mug and Free Printable
Mother’s Day is only two weeks away and I thought I’d give all of us a head start on it with this DIY and some free printable’s! First off, we’ve all seen this adorable cactus in a mug, but I’ve never seen one so cute! I found this mug at HomeGoods and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I thought by adding a colorful coaster, it would add the perfect final touch to its display. You can honestly find any mug or teacup anywhere for under $10: they’ll all work! And of course, you’ll find your mini cactus for mama (or grandma, in-law, friend, whomever!) at practically any store these days (I found mine at Lowes!).
I created a gift tag and card to accompany your cactus in a mug…and it fits the theme perfectly! The gift tags can honestly go onto any gift you get for Mother’s Day, as well as the card! I hope you like them!!

Cactus in a Mug:
What you need:
• Mug/teacup
• Coaster (optional)
• Cactus (or any succulent of your choice)
• Gravel
• Cactus palm and citrus potting mix
How to make your Cactus in a Mug:
Step 1: Pour a layer of gravel into the bottom of your mug. This is important since we won’t be drilling a whole into the mug to allow for drainage.
Step 2: Pour a thick layer of dirt into your mug, filling in enough to place your cactus in.
Step 3: Place your cactus into mug and fill mug with more dirt until full.
Step 4: Your cactus in a mug is ready for its gift tag!
Step 5: Once complete, you can now print out your Hey Mama Mother’s Day Card and complete your DIY Mother’s Day gift!
And that’s that! Super quick and super cute! You can also see last years free printable Mother’s Day Card here as well as this DIY mini herb garden that was featured last year, both as some more gift ideas!
