Don't forget that Mother's Day is just around the corner- Sunday, May 9th to be exact. Here are a few no-fuss, easy, and affordable ideas that I've had success with. I hope you and your mom can enjoy them too.
- Make a power-point slide show of various photos and video clips of your kids. Add fun background music and give to a grandparent.
- Make a linen spray from water and essential oils and top off with a classy label.
- Grab a pretty terra cotta pot and plant a miniature herb garden inside. You can also do this with flowers- it's much more affordable than buying one pre-made!
- Give her a favorite plant or tree for a lasting gift.
- Give her a book instead of a card.
- Make your own custom card on the computer, complete with inside jokes and photos to make it personal.
- Make a coupon book. Suggestions for coupons: free car wash, dinner (you cook), one house cleaning, manicure (you paint), etc...
- Write a few memories down in story form, print out and tie with ribbon. I did this for my grandmother and included stories from childhood visits to her house. She loved this so much and it's a great gift idea for someone in a nursing home or for someone who has everything.
