5 Gift Ideas for Mom

Affordable can mean different things to different people.  And I think most would agree that a good mom is priceless. My mom was priceless and I often wanted to spend more than I could afford. I have a list here of five gift ideas ranging from “affordable” to “extravagant” for the mom or “like a mom” in your life.

1. Coupons

Yes, this is a homemade gift, but a lot of thought goes into it. I know my mom loved our homemade gifts especially when we were younger. And face it, if you don’t have extra money in the budget a good old fashion homemade gift is perfect. I made some free coupon printables you can download and print here. The first page is filled in with ideas and the second page is blank so you can put in your own.

2. A Book

Reading is one of my favorite ways to relax. I always carry a book in my purse so I can read if I’m waiting some where.  You could buy a physical book or even an e-version if your Mom has an e-reader or tablet.

3. Flowers

There is something about fresh flowers.  It always brightens my day when my husband gets me flowers and I love tulips.  You can order Mothers Day flowers online from e-florists starting at $39.95. They even have specials going on like the one pictured above!

4. Cooking Class

…. or painting party, pottery glass, etc. Basically you’re giving the gift of an experience. There’s something really fun about getting out and trying new things. I love attending classes like these.

5. Spa Day

Let’s face it, being a mom is the toughest job you’ll ever have and the least rewarded. Who wouldn’t want a day of relaxing? I know I’d love a spa day!

What are you getting your mom or like a mom for Mother’s Day?
