Top 10 Free Mother’s Day Gift Ideas:
1) Breakfast in bed
Whether you are a professional chef or not, this Mother’s Day gift idea will make mom’s heart melt and won’t break you fast.
On Mother’s Day get up extra early and raid your mom’s cupboards, cabinets, refrigerator and any other place she may be storing breakfast food. Once you have come up with a good selection of food for a tasty meal get to cookin’! Doing this will save you money and ensure that your mom will be consuming foods that she actually likes.
Remember, it’s the thought that counts. So, even if the meal you cook isn’t award winning, odds are your mom will still love it.
2) Take mom on a relaxing walk
Spring is a beautiful time of the year, full of bright colors and comforting smells- especially in Michigan. This Mother’s Day take mom for a walk down the road, around town or through a nature preserves. On this walk you will be able to express your feelings and gratitude towards your mom. This is a great opportunity for the two of you to relax and bond!
3) Mother’s Day Card
A thoughtful card is a sure way to make mom smile; a handcrafted, thoughtful card is a sure way to make mom tear up. So grab a few pieces of paper, cut out a few cool designs, and construct a unique, one of a kind card for you mom. Inside, describe how much mom means to you. And of course, sign it with love from her favorite child – you!
4) Best Mother Ever Award
Your mom probably has many cards expressing love but, does she have an actual award to prove that love? Create a Best Mom Ever Award on your computer or out of craft paper.
On it state: “The 2014 Best Mother Ever Award goes to _(Insert your mom’s name)_.”
In the bottom right hand corner of the award state: “This award has been presented by _(Insert your name_.”
Now your mom has proof that she is in fact the best mom ever and can rub it in her friend’s faces.
5) Poem
Nothing says I love you more than a heartfelt rhyme or melody! This Mother’s Day use your words and write mom a poem that expresses your love and feelings towards her. Better yet, turn that poem into a song that you can sing to her on Mother’s Day!
6) Draw mom a picture
A picture says a thousand words. So if you are not very good at verbally expressing your feelings draw mom a picture that does it for you! You don’t have to be an artist to create a masterpiece for your mother – she will love your picture no matter what! If you have a few dollars to spare, purchase a nice frame for your artwork so that your mom can hang it on her wall for all to see. If not, your picture will be a great decoration for your mother’s refrigerator!
7) Mow mom’s yard
Mother’s Day is here and that means spring is too! With spring comes the bright colors of nature, beautiful flowers and of course, the much hated lawn work. Your mom probably hates mowing the lawn as much as the next mom. So do mom a solid and mow the lawn for her this Mother’s Day!
8) Wash mom’s car
The birds are back and the pollen is flying! Needless to say, your mom’s car needs a nice bath. Grab your cleaning supplies and make mom’s car squeaky clean this Mother’s Day.
9) Dish Duty
Most families gather together and enjoy a meal on Mother’s Day. If your family engages in this tradition, help mom out and do the dishes! This will give mom time to relax after she has gorged herself from the delicious Mother’s Day meal.
10) Clean the house
If your mom has not already taken part in the annual tradition of spring cleaning you can start for her! You do not necessarily have to deep clean your mom’s house, but that could win you brownie points over your siblings.
Tasks while cleaning include but are not limited to the following: dusting, dishes, vacuuming, organizing, sweeping and mopping.
Happy Mother’s Day!
