Get Creative
Your and your children can get creative and make something special for mom. Make a homemade card, mug, gift basket, chocolate dipped fruit, artwork, coupon book, jewelry or a book. Print a free coupon book for Mother’s day from Tip Junkie’s website. Make a free virtual mother’s day card like the mom rap card on JibJab.com. Purchase a Mother’s day card and gift card inexpensively at many local stores like Krogerand Wal-Mart.
Check out the new local daily deals website called My River City Deals, which has many deals for Mother’s day going on right now like $25 for $50 dollars worth of shoes at Simplysoles.com and $25 dollars for $50dollars worth of hair salon services at Christy’s Beauty Salon.
Edible Arrangements offers wonderful fruit bouquets and a variety of chocolate dipped fruit that mom will love. You can often find coupon codes online to get a discount for edible arrangements. If you don’t want to purchase a chocolate dipped fruit bouquet you could easily make one. You could also make a candy bar bouquet by purchasing a couple different brands of mom’s favorite candy bars or candy using them to fill a flower vase or glass jar.
Give mom the gift of flowers, whether it’s a bouquet, a potted plant or a flower-filled basket. Give mom the gift of experiences and time spent with her. Experiences could include things like a manicure/pedicure, day at the spa, a massage, a trip to an amusement park, the movie theater, a dinner out or a trip to the beach or one of her favorite places.
Other frugal gift ideas for mom:
• Make a short home video as a tribute to your mom
• Make a photo collage or scrapbook of memories
• Write a letter to your mom telling her how you feel, how much you appreciate all she does, and how much you love her
• Give her a day off, or a whole week off, to do whatever she wants and agree to do chores around the house and help her with anything she needs during that time
• Homemade bath salts
• Make a special dinner, perhaps of her favorite foods
Whatever you get your mom, remember to let her know you love her and will always appreciate everything she does for you.
