THOUGHTFUL MOTHER'S DAY GIFTS ON A BUDGET

These thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts won’t break the bank!

FLOWERS AND A HEARTFELT LETTER
This one’s a classic, but it’s usually the thoughtful gifts that hit home the most. Get her a bunch of her favourites beautifully arranged alongside a heartfelt handwritten letter. It’s important to tell her how much she means to you, what you appreciate about her and, most importantly, to say “Thank you”. Being a mother often is a thankless task, but it’s important that we make time to make our moms feel acknowledged.

MAKING HER FAVOURITES FROM SCRATCH
You can try your hand at making her favourite baked goods or meals from scratch. It’s cheaper than going out for a meal but adds an extra layer of consideration. It shows you took note of her favourites, you put the time into making it for her, and that she’s worth the effort of making it from scratch! If you’re unsure, this batch of blondies could be just the sweet treat you could wrap up for her.

@bakestarters 🍪 One of the things we love about baking is how personal it is — here's a sweet little treat for Mother's Day! These white chocolate blondies are simple to make, and come together really quickly too. #cookie #blondies #sgbakes #mothersday ♬ Obituary - Alexandre Desplat

PAMPER HER WITH AN AT HOME SPA DAY
Nobody would ever decline a pamper session. Think facials, foot scrubs, painting her nails, a massage and a hot cup of tea. Use the time between activities to listen to some of her favourite songs curated in a playlist, throw in some light snacks and you’ve got yourself an at-home spa! You can even go the extra mile and make the facial mix from scratch with things you probably already have in your pantry.

COMPLETE A FEW THINGS ON HER TO-DO LIST
If your mom always has a busy schedule, it could be a major help if you tried to tackle a few errands. This act is especially thoughtful for those moms whose love language is acts of service! Try asking her well in advance what things she’s been meaning to get or do. With most mothers always jumping in to do things for us, this “gift” should be an everyday thing!
