Inexpensive Mother's Day Gift Ideas


Celebrate your mom with one (or even more) of these 10 unique yet inexpensive gifts for A birthday. Your mother, if she's anything like my mom or grandmother, just really wants to know that she is appreciated and remembered. Your mother wouldn't would like you to go in debt to impress her. Actually, she is probably the one who taught you "it may be the thought that counts." Match her personality yet cheap and affordable gifts below to make her mothers day  special.

Customized Mug


Provide a coffee or tea loving mom an espresso mug with her favorite saying, poem, family photograph, or child's drawing. Customized coffee mugs can be produced at many local stores within the photo department as well as through online customization stores. Personalized coffee mugs can be bought for between $4.99 and $29.99 with respect to the store and customization you select. Alternatively, you can create a do-it-yourself customized mug. Craft writer Amanda Famaro of Magazine uses acrylic enamel paints to attract designs on a coffee mug for Mom. When the design is complete, the mug is baked inside a standard kitchen oven per paint directions. My daughter designed a design-your-own travel mug for me this past year. She created an art pencil drawing people for the mug insert. The all inclusive costs was $1 plus sales tax because our local DOLLAR TREE stocks 11 ounce Design-Your-Own photo travel mugs for $1 each regular price.

Photo Bracelet

Provide the mom who loves to showcase photos of her children, grandchildren, and pets a photograph bracelet of her favorite members of the family. Take a photograph of each child, grandchild, and/or pet and insert each trimmed photograph in to the slots in the photo bracelet. Photo bracelets seem like a bracelet made of several small frames linked together. Photograph bracelets are available in a wide variety of materials from wood frames to metal frames from price as low as $5. You can purchase your photo bracelet in a local photograph or portrait studio in addition to online.

Customized Mouse pad
Give the techie mom or mom having a home office a customized mousepad. You can design a custom mouse pad online with one photo, a collage of photos, and/or an estimate or special text online. Or buy a mouse pad with an insert for any photo or drawing like a do-it-yourself custom gift. Custom mouse pad typically start at $5. 

Mom's Favorite Dessert

Provide your mother her favorite dessert as a present. You know what your mom likes best and whether sherrrd like it baked-from-scratch or bakery-made. Personally I usually love a batch of fresh chocolate cookies. If you don't know how to make cookies on your own, you can use the refrigerated dough or even the box mixes to make her a sweet treat. My other favorite dessert is Tiramisu that we readily devour whether from-scratch or store-bought. Kroeger stocks an attractive non-alcoholic Tiramisu layer cake for approximately $12.

Manicure/Pedicure Basket

You are able to pick up great bargains in the dollar stores that would fit any mother’s needs who loves to take care of her nails and does them herself. (In case your mom is strictly a salon person for nail upkeep, a present certificate to her favorite nail salon may well be a better choice.) You can also pick up everything for a basket like this at shops, beauty supply stores, drugstores, etc.

Coffee or tea Basket
If your mom loves drinking tea (or coffee) why don't you make her a basket full of her favorite blends. You'll find different teas, from flavored to organic at any nearby supermarket these days. Stores like Ross and Gord mans also provide lots of varieties or you could obviously, go to a tea shop. I really like this basket with the handles (in the Salvation Army for $1.00) since it looks like a serving tray. You can include a beautiful cup and saucer, line the basket having a pretty napkin, throw in a strainer or unique spoon that may become “her” tea-spoon and she’d love it. That you can do the same with coffees. The thrift stores have great selections of china cups and saucers for any dollar or two. And when you have the money and want to add something extra, why don't you treat her to a tea at your local tea shops or take her to some tea room like Glen Eyrie or Enchanted Springs.

Movie Time Basket

In case your mom loves watching movies, why don't you make her a basket full of movies she’d enjoy watching. You could include a boxed set of any Tv show she’s a fan of or a collection of romance, mystery, suspense or comedy flicks. Then add popcorn and she’s set. Other activities you could add to the basket are popcorn bowls, spices to sprinkle the popcorn with or movie passes. In case your mom’s a “crier” and you’re giving her sad movies, give a small box of kleenex. You might make a inexpensive gift certificate good for a few hours at the movies with you. You could find movies on sale and also the previously viewed movies usually have a money back guarantee if for some reason it doesn’t work.

Wine Basket

For moms who choose a good glass of wine. I found this excellent wine holder at a yard sale. You could also use a picnic basket or any basket big enough to hold a bottle (or two) of wine. Personalize it with wine charms, pretty or funny cocktail napkins along with a wine stopper that suits her personality. When the basket’s big enough you could also add some wine glasses and maybe a wine opener. If you possess the bucks…add a wine of the month gift cards.
