Looking for a gift to show your mom how much she means to you? But, like, what do you do when your mom means the world to you, but your budget limits you to being only able to afford a candle? Fortunately, love isn’t measured by the amount you spend on a gift, and your mom of all people understands that. So, aside from spending time with her and showing her how much you appreciate her by giving her your time, here’s some gift ideas that won’t break your bank.
Nail Salon
Take your mom to a nail salon to have her nails done with you. That’s quality time, plus both of you (or all if you’re bringing siblings along… yuck) getting to leave with a fresh set of nails. Depending on your choice of treatment, the cost can range anywhere between $10-$45.
Flowers
Beautiful flowers are always appreciated. Admittedly, this can become a little costly, but you can find great deals at places like Schnucks that allow you to buy a bouquet and put them in your own vase with a balloon for as little as $15.
Bottle of Wine
If you know what your mom’s favorite wine is already, great! If not, maybe be her designated driver and take her to a couple of wineries and buy her favorite wine she tries at a tasting!
Personalized To-Go Coffee Cup
If your mom can’t function without coffee, then we’d probably be best friends because same. Seriously though, your caffeine-fueled mom might appreciate a new to-go coffee cup that is especially personalized for her. This will also force her to think about how amazing her son/daughter is every time she fills that cup up. Consider going to FiredUp! and take the kids to make a personalized mug!
A Gift Card
Coffee. Spa Day. Shopping Spree. Hobby Lobby. The beauty of a gift card is that you literally choose the exact amount your budget allows you to spend. Hopefully you know your mom well enough to choose a place where this gift card will be appreciated.
Thyme in the Kitchen
Surprise your mom with a cooking class at Thyme in the Kitchen! Again, this is a great opportunity to spend some time with your mom and bond over learning how to create a new dish.
