We encourage handmade gifts in my DIY family-and my mom loves anything that helps her in her own DIY'ing. So here are some recommendations that will make all types of DIY moms happy, without spending a ton of moolah!

For the Moms who want to learn to sew:

Kenmore Sewing machine, $79.99 through 5-03.

This great little sewing machine has 43 stitches, more than enough to handle all your interior decorating and light upholstery needs. I've owned several Kenmores in my time, and they are very sturdy and reliable. Plus, they'll ship pretty much anywhere in the country!

A subscription to MAKE magazine $34.95, and a kit from the Robot Supply Store.
