Homemade Gifts
One of the most heartfelt and budget-friendly ways to show your love and appreciation is by creating a homemade gift. Here are some ideas!-
- Scrapbook: If your mom has lots of photos lying around, this could have been a task she has been putting off for years.
- Collect Recipes: Similar to a scrapbook, collect all your mom’s recipes and put them in one place. Even better, reach out to your family members and get some family recipes your mom might not have.
- Personalized Coupons: This gift is perfect for the kiddos! Create a coupon book filled with chores to complete whenever your mom decides to redeem the coupons.
- Magnets with her favorite faces: Make your mom some customer photo magnets to put on the fridge. Make them yourself or you can design your own on Shutterfly.
- Card: Store-bought cards are pretty, but your mom will love a hand-made card even more! Even if you have nothing but a pencil, scrap of paper and the love in your heart, you’re still able to make a card your mom will appreciate.

Brunch
Avoid making reservations and instead plan a Mother’s Day brunch at home. Not only will you save some money, but you also won’t have to worry about packed restaurants and instead cook your mom’s favorite dishes at home.
Tip: Make her feel special and add some flowers to the table! -
Family Game Night
Plan a relaxed game night that suits everyone’s busy schedule. Even if it’s a rare occurrence, it’s certain mom will appreciate having everyone together in a joyful environment. If you have game nights regularly, consider purchasing a new game to try out.

Organize Family Photos
Moms love to cherish memories, and what better way to do so than organizing a family photo session? Get the whole family together, take some pictures and get them framed. Whether the photos are done by a professional, your tripod, or a friend, mom will love it! -
Detail Her Car
Perhaps purchasing your mom her dream car isn’t in the cards, but giving her car a thorough cleaning can be the next best gift! So roll up your sleeves and provide mom’s car with a top-notch cleaning just like professionals. -
Give her the day off
Take care of your mother’s chores for the day. Do the laundry, clean the house, cook the meals, and let her relax and enjoy her day off.
Remember, Mother’s Day isn’t about how much money you spend, it’s about the thought and love behind it. Showing your mother that she is valued and cherished can have a significant impact.
