Inexpensive gifts

Often the most special gifts are those that cost very little or nothing at all. Here's a few inexpensive gift ideas for mum or grandma.

Poems or messages

What better way to tell your mum just how wonderful she is, than with a poem or special message. There is a great range of poems especially for Mother's Day that can be found online, or you may like to take the time to make one up yourself. Here's one to get you started.

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always get my fingerprints
On furniture and the wall
But every day I’m growing up
And soon I’ll be so tall
That all these little handprints
Will be very hard to recall
So here’s a final handprint
Just so in your mind will stay
Exactly how my hands looked
This year on Mother’s day!

 

Bookmark with hand print

Make a gorgeous bookmark for mum or grandma for Mother's Day. Get the kids to draw a picture on a piece of card or make a print of their handprint and laminate it.

Fill box with recipes, poems and inspiring stories

Make a box of love for her. Cover a shoe box with decorative paper and fill it with envelopes containing her favourite recipes, poems, things to do, inspirational stories from magazines, personal notes, etc. Let her know that when she is bored or feeling down she can select an envelope and have a lovely surprise every time.

Give booklets of vouchers

Make up little booklets of vouchers and decorate with ribbon, stickers, etc. The vouchers could be anything from washing the dishes, cleaning the car, vacuuming, hanging out washing, setting the table, to movie night, dinner out etc. For older people vouchers could be a foot massage, a trip to the movies, making a favourite meal, a manicure or pedicure, and so on.

Place mats featuring the kids artwork

Use coloured card and decorate with art made by the kids. Get them to draw or paint an image of family members, pets, etc. Organise art on card before gluing. Decorative borders can be added using shiny paper cut into a pattern, or stickers. A special message for Mum can also be added. Laminate.
