Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Most important is finding the perfect card. Most stores have cards that are 99 cents. You might think that at 99 cent card is a cheap gesture. But, it's not the cost of the card that matters, it's what's written inside that counts. Or, a handmade card from the children is always a card that will be adored and appreciated.

2. Fresh cut flowers from the garden are always nice and will not cost you a penny.

3. Suggest a movie and take you mom to the local dollar theater. Or, rent a movie of her choice and relax at home. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the movie and some conversation.

4. Take you mom the park or beach with the family. Bring a blanket and let her enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and relax in the sun.

5. Some mom's just need some time to themselves. Buy your mom a bottle of wine and make her a bubble bath. Take the kids to the movies, park, etc. while your loved one enjoys the things she loves doing the most such as reading, crafting, sewing, or gardening.

6. A special picture in a frame is always a great gift idea!

7. Whatever your choice of gift may be, your mother will hold it special in your heart.
