Last-Minute Frugal Gifts for Mother's Day
Mother's Day is this Sunday May 11th! Here are a few budget-friendly, last-minute Mother's Day gifts to let your mom know just how much you appreciate her. Just remember to include a thoughtful card that mom can treasure for years to come.
- A live plant is much less expensive then a bouquet of flowers and it will last a lot longer too. Pair it with a gift card that has a nostalgic message about how your mother has always taken care of you and helped you grow, so you know she will do the same for the plant.
- Surprise your mom in the morning with breakfast in bed. What better way to start her day?
- Make mom a personalized work of art. Write her a poem or a letter telling her how much she means to you and frame it in a large frame that has a picture mat. You'll be surprised at how professional the picture mat will make your creation look. If you're a mom yourself, you can use the same idea and frame pictures your kids have drawn, their handprints or enlarged family photos.
- Give mom a well deserved break from doing the cooking and cleaning by volunteering to take over for the day. If mom is elderly or lives alone, help her out by doing things for her around the house that she has trouble doing—such as yard work or washing her windows.
- Make mom a coupon book, or have your kids do it. The coupon book could consist of things you know your mom would like: such as a coupon good for washing the dishes, making dinner, letting her sleep in...or even just a hug.
- Make mom a gift basket full of her favorite treats, some of which you may already have around the house. Fill it with things such as cookie or herb mixes in little bags or jars tied with a pretty bow, specialty tea bags inside a new mug, or even pre-made dinners she can freeze.
If mom lives out of state, you still have time to send her a card or a bouquet of flowers. Have CoolSavings.com be your first stop when looking for a gift online—we have hundreds of online coupons and discount codes to help you get the most for your money.
