Happy Frugal Mothers Day!

Sunday is Mothers Day, and I cannot believe it is here already!  Mothers Day is a great day to spend with the family, whether you have kids, or you want to hang out with your mother, this is a special day for all Mothers around the Country.  And don’t think that because it is Mothers day that you have to spend money!  The best gifts are ones that are thoughtful and from the heart and this kind of gift most likely cannot be bought.  Below I have put together a short list of gifts and such for Mothers Day that will not break the bank, and your MoM with LOVE.

Instead of buying a flower arrangement from the local flower shop or grocery store, take a walk around the neighborhood and pick your own flower bouquet.  Arrange the flowers in a container that you have at home such as a: vase, tall glass, water pitcher or a jar.

Make your Mother breakfast in bed.  I know this sounds very cliche, but, this really is a very nice treat for any mother.  Put some thought into what to make, maybe a heart shaped pancake or toast with some flower shaped pineapple wedges.  Be creative, and use foods that you know your MOM will love.

Break out a pen and paper and write your Mom a poem or a letter letting her know just how much she means to you.

Put together a slide show using photos and videos from when you were growing up and when you went on vacations with your Mom.  Add funny captions and music and you will have a gift that will last a lifetime.

Make your Mom personalized cards.  Use plain white printer paper and fold to card size.  Decorate 6 cards for special occasions, add 6 envelopes and wrap with a ribbon.

Make a Mothers Day coupon book, fill with coupons such as: Day of Pampering, Foot Massage and Laundry Help.

Put together a scrapbook using photos of you and your Mom.  Decorate with new and old paper, buttons, ribbons, stamps and more.

Do something for your Mom that you know she has been meaning to do, but just hasn’t had the time for.

Just spending time with your Mother is what matters the most.  Enjoy a nice walk, a nice chat, watching a movie together, just spend time together.

Happy Mothers Day!!!
