Mother’s Day is only FIVE days away.
This Sunday is the day for celebrating moms and a day that I always look forward to. Usually this is a day when us moms get to relax and maybe take the day off from cooking and maybe get a little spoiled.
There are many different gifts that you can give to your mom that doesn’t have to cost a fortune but will make her smile and know you care. If you are looking for some ideas on what to do for your mom on Sunday below are 10 of my Mother’s Day gift ideas that won’t cost a fortune.
- Flowers – You can never go wrong with flowers. These can be free, expensive and can cost you depending on what you want to give her.
- Chocolate Dipped Strawberries – While you can buy these online and have them delivered, they are really EASY to make and mom would love them more if she knows they are handmade.
- Pedicure – One thing that many woman love is a pedicure because they are relaxing and usually very affordable. You can spoil mom with a gift certificate or maybe take her on a date and both of you get one. If you really want to spoil mom, make sure she gets both a mani and pedi!
- Something With Her Name – One thing that many people love receiving is personalized gifts for all occasions. Why not make her feel special and get something like that says #1 Mom or maybe even #1 Grandma!
- Make Mom Dinner – Do you know how many children have never cooked for their mom. If you got skills in the kitchen but have never cooked for your mom, this would be a great day to start.
- Put Together A Photo Collage – If you have pictures of you and your mom, make copies and put together a photo collage to bring back all the wonderful memories you shared together.
- Make A Homemade Gift – There are so many inexpensive and great gifts that you can make at home for mom that she will love. One thing you might want to make is my homemade bath bombs.
- Make A Coupon Book – When you are a mom you are never too old to get a homemade coupon book from your child. This coupon book could include coupons for things like a movie night, dinner night, bowling, etc.
- Lunch And A Movie – Make plans to take your mom to an early lunch and hit a matinee movie after.
- Spend The Day With Your Mom – If you are one that is busy and never gets to spend time with your mom set aside this day just for you. I bet that the time that she spends with you is better than any gift you can give.
These are great tips. I will definitely pick one of these.
Getting Chocolate covered strawberries and lunch and a movie would be lots of fun for Mom on Mother’s Day! These are all good last minute ideas.
These are fantastic ideas! I would love lunch and a movie..or of course chocolate 🙂
We’re probably going to do the movie thing with the family. That’s what she asked for!
These are great ides! My kids usually make me breakfast with help from my husband and its a tradition that we take professional pictures of the kids. Thats “their gifts” to me. We have done it every year since my daughter was born my husband surprised me that first year.
Can I please have chocolate dipped strawberries? That is my weakness, seriously. I can’t think of anything else I’d want. I think it was last year my husband made these for me. Ugh, I love my husband. And my kids of course.

I have been reminding my hubby and son what is coming up. I will send them to this post to get some ideas! 😉
Lunch and a movie sounds like heaven! Even just helping with the house duties that I would normally do – I love those kinds of gifts!
Mother’s Day is a hard holiday for me. I don’t have any contact with my own mother, and have lost three babies. I have a 3 year old darling this year, but she’s still too young to really get the “day” – every day is Mother’s Day, to her, which is wonderful! And how I prefer it, anyway. But, that said, I told my husband the other day that I feel like I could want this holiday to be special for me, but I don’t have it in me, at least at this point in my life, to make my own holiday special. I asked him if he thought he would want to make it his deal, or if I should just ignore the day (and if you knew us, you’d know that wasn’t a manipulative request; I know it kind of sounds like one, but he understood what I meant). I just don’t want to have expectations if nothing will happen unless I do it, you know? We go out for lunch every year with his mom and sister and her family, which is fun – my MIL is wonderful, and I’m happy to celebrate her, and don’t mind being there to see my nieces and nephews celebrate my SIL. I just don’t want to feel like a participant (except as appropriate, with my MIL) on a day that’s supposed to celebrate me.
These are great gift suggestions. My mom is ridiculously hard to shop for, and always has been, so we usually just go out for a really nice meal.
I love the idea of a collage for a last minute gift. Those are always a favorite.
I love homemade gifts the most! My kids make me the best gifts ever!
