Mother’s Day is great way to show your mum you appreciate all
the things she does for you throughout the year. Let’s face it no matter how
old you are she is always there for you.
Times are still tough but you can still spoil your mum on a
budget:
Homemade Gifts &
Cards
Get creative or if you have children get them making
something for your/their mum. A homemade
card or present is better than a shop bought one any day. If you have children
you probably already have the crafts to do it.
There are several sites where you can download cards to
colour in and decorate yourself such as Got
Free Cards or Mes cards.
You could add a photo or print off a picture of her favourite flowers
Photo albums are a great gift for mums, print off her favourite
pictures and put together a collection for her. You don’t have to get an
expensive album look for cheap scrap books from places like Wilkinson and cover
in pretty paper or check out your local charity shops.
You could do some baking and make mum her favourite cake or biscuits.
Hampers
Make your own hamper or gift bag for your mum at a fraction
of the price of the ones you can buy. Set yourself a budget and buy around that, don’t
forget to add in the price of any basket or bag you get.
Here are some ideas:
The Coffee Lover:
Pack of her favourite fresh coffee, coffee mug, biscuits/biscotti and if your budget allows a new cafetiere. You can get them from about £8’s depending on
the size.
The Chocolate Lover:
Fill a bag/basket with all her favourite chocolates; look around for the min
boxes so you can get a good selection. You can also add in some sachets of hot
chocolate and a mug.
The Book Lover:
You don’t have to buy new books, have a look around the charity shops and find
books by her favourite authors, throw in some chocolate and biscuits and she will
be one happy lady.
Cook
Treat your mum to breakfast in bed or a nice lunch cooked by
you and don’t forget to do the washing up afterwards!
If you would prefer to buy your mum a gift why not checkout
your local shops they have a great range of gifts at affordable prices.
