How to create an inexpensive, meaningful Mother's or Father's Day gift

It is that time again! Mother's and Father's day is a great time for us to recognize those important people in our lives, but sometimes it is tough to find the right gift to let someone know how much you care. Here are some inexpensive, meaningful solutions to that problem that any parent would love!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Creativity
• Photos

1. Snapfish.com - Many "can't-lose" gift ideas can be found on Snapfish.com (or other photo websites). Some great ones are mousepads, mugs, or photo collage posters. Just upload a great shot of the little ones and order it on one of these gifts. The site is very user-friendly and the result is a one-of-a-kind gift any Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa would love. Many gift items cost less than $15.00 and you can google "snapfish coupons" for extra savings codes.
2. Pot it! - A classic, cheap and beautiful gift can be as simple as a few colorful tulips in a terra cotta pot. Kids can paint or decorate the pots in advance for an extra added personal touch (and a great craft hour!). Just buy the tulips (a couple of bucks each) and re-pot into newly decorated pots. The recipient can transplant into their garden later if they wish, and this gift will keep on giving for years to come!
3. Sporty Dad? - Designing a gift around one's personal interests is a very thoughtful way to let them know you care! If Dad likes golfing, buy a gift certificate for a round at the local course. Usually it will not cost you a ton, you can even wrap a set of golf balls and attach the certificate to make it more a theme gift. You can get creative and do the same for other sports or interests, including a basket of inexpensive yarn and needles for a Grandma who likes to sew or crochet, or a bottle of wine and pasta for Mom's Italian cooking hobby!
