DIY Herbal Terrarium |
My mom works really hard thus likes to spoil herself a lot, so you can only imagine what you could possibly give one of the best moms in the world for mother’s day, her anniversary, or her birthday. When I was in France a few weeks ago, she raised the spending limit on my credit card so that I could purchase her a Louis Vuitton purse! Since she can pretty much buy herself anything her heart desires–besides a G5 & a new house in Newport Coast–I decided to make her an herbal terrarium for a belated mother’s day & early anniversary & birthday present. She uses tons of herbs such as cilantro, dill, basil, & oregano in her cooking, so why not plant them for her to use?
Terrariums make great gifts to your mom, grandma, aunt, or anyone moving into a new home! They’re often filled with succulents, but I decided on planting herbs. Terrariums aren’t just pretty to stare at, they also bring fresh supplies of oxygen into your home. It was my first time planting herbs, so if any of them germinate by my parents’ anniversary, which is on the 15th, it’ll truly be the perfect gift for my mom. Dad may appreciate it…although he’d probably wish I planted a money tree instead.
