A craftable tic-tac-toe game
An ideal Mother's Day gift is one that might allow you to spend more time with your mom. One Hobby Lobby option combines play with creativity.
"Most of us moms don't really need more stuff, and gifts that are an experience of an activity we can do with our children can be very special. So, if you have no idea what to get for the mom of the family, consider this wooden tic-tac-toe set from Hobby Lobby," says Marie Clark, retail expert and editor of the shopping site CostContessa.
She suggests letting your children pick out some paint and embellishments to make it a family project with mom to decorate and DIY your own family tic-tac-toe game.
"And when it's dry, you can play it!" she says.

A potted plant
Clark says another great find from Hobby Lobby to consider for Mother's Day is their appealing selection of unique plant pots.
"Consider exchanging the more traditional cut flowers for a potted plant that will continue to grow and be enjoyed for a long period of time," she suggests. "You could even opt for herbs or a small vegetable plant that can flourish in a pot, such as a cherry tomato plant, or herbs like basil or Italian parsley."
And while there are dozens of options to pick from, she has some favorites of her own to consider.
"One of their tree root bowls would look great in a variety of homes, from modern to coastal—especially if you plant with succulents or herbs!" she suggests. "I also love the Farmhouse-style trough for a more rustic farmhouse look, which you can plant with a few herbs for mom to use all year."
