Mother’s Day gifts can get expensive. But, you don’t have to have a large budget to show your mom your love. In fact, you don’t have to spend a dime.
I know that traditionally kids exhibit their love for mom with chocolates, flowers, or a day of pampering. But, sometimes even an extra $20 can be hard to come by. With a little creativity, you can show your love and appreciation without pulling out your wallet.
Here is a list of Mother’s Day gifts:
- Make her breakfast.
- Cook her dinner.
- Perform one of her chores.
- Write her an appreciation note.
- Leave a love note in her lunchbox.
- Give her a massage.
- Relinquish control of the remote to her.
- Burn a CD of your favorite songs (as a family).
- Draw a bubble bath for her.
- Create a photo collage of special moments in your relationship for her.
- Arrange time off for her without the kids.
- Walk around your neighborhood, downtown, or park together.
- Take her on a nostalgic drive.
- Wash her car.
- Sing, play, or write a song (depending on your talent) for her.
- Go stargazing.
- Read poetry to her.
- Watch a movie (by whatever means you have that wouldn’t cost you any money i.e. library, Netflix, cable, regular TV, internet, etc.).
- Prepare a special dessert for her.
- Download a free e-book for her.
- Tell her all of the ways you’re happy she’s your mom (or why she’s a great mom).
- Set up a relaxing environment (candles, dim light, soothing music, or whatever works for her).
- Brew coffee for her.
- Agree to dress the kids for school, if that’s not something you usually handle.
- Get the kids to school (whether by bus or car).
