Mother’s Day gift ideas – On the cheap
Mother's Day is coming up, so here are a few inexpensive ideas for some great gifts that will make her day special.
Mixture of your mother’s favourite sweets
Your mother will have something to nibble on for a week, or a day, depending on how much of a sweet tooth she has.
Small make-up bag
She can use this handy gift can fit in her purse, and keep her lipstick, face powder, an eyeshadow palette and a mascara stick. No more digging through her purse to find her items and keeps it from staining, leaking or crumbling onto the rest of her content.
Change keeper
Paying for parking or a specific amount of change is always a digging mission as well. A small bag to keep change handy and relieve the wallet of bulking is always helpful.
Reading material
A good book with a handwritten inscription is a gift that lasts for years. If you do not know what genre she likes, pick a book on a topic of interest or a hobby she pursues.
A vase
A cheap vase is easy, you can pick a neutral or clear colour, and pick or buy some flowers to go with it.
Candles and bath products
Just make sure it is a fragrance she likes and not allergic to.
Material bag
It can be folded up and kept in her handbag. When needed, she can use it for her shopping, as it is sturdier than plastic or paper bags and can be reused.
Bracelets
You can get her a charm bracelet with all her children/grandchildren’s initials on it. As children or grandchildren are born, more can be added.
Photo album
You can create an album with last year’s memories.
