With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about ideas to make your mom’s day extra special this year. So here are seven budget friendly Mother’s Day gift ideas. They won’t cost a lot of money, but they will show your mother how much you love and appreciate her.
Budget Friendly Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
1. A family portrait: You don’t have to worry about gathering everyone together for a family portrait. All you need to do is to find a recent photograph and simply have it enlarged. Then find a beautiful frame, which is just the right size and you have a very affordable family portrait as a lovely gift to present to mom on Mother’s Day.
2. Treat your mother to a lovely picnic lunch: There is nothing quite like spending time together as a family, so why not put together a beautiful picnic and take your mom out to lunch? You can take her to the local park or a beach near your home, but whichever you choose, Mother’s Day is all about sharing the love. And your time.
3. Send her a gorgeous fresh flowers: All mothers love to receive flowers at any time of the year but receiving flowers on Mother’s Day is extra special. So decide on your budget and start browsing online to have an idea on the prices. And don’t forget to find out what kinds of flower are your mother’s favorites.
4. Organize a day out together: Why not take your mother to the local weekend markets or to the city for the day? There are plenty of budget-conscious spots for lunch and a day spent browsing the market stalls and shops is a perfect way to spend quality time together with your mom.
5. Chocolate covered strawberries: With lots of lovely, big, sweet strawberries in the shops very soon, it is so easy to make chocolate dipped strawberries for your mom. Just arrange them in a cute gift box and you have a handcrafted Mother’s Day gift made with love without the high price.
6. Clean the house: This will definitely put a smile on your mother’s face. So tell her to just relax for the day while you spruce up her home from top to bottom – a beautiful gift that costs you nothing but your time – it won’t take long if you can rope others into helping as well.
7. Personalized mugs: Buy some cheap, white ceramic mugs and some craft paints and you can get to creating beautiful personalized designer mugs that your mom will treasure on Mother’s Day. Let the grandkids help with creative designs and you will have a unique gift made with love for Mother’s Day.
What Are Your Favorite Budget Friendly Mother’s Day Gift Ideas?
I would love it if someone cleaned my house for me. What a treat that would be.
With so many special occasions throughout the year, budget friendly and free gifts are the way to go. I love photo mugs.
I have given photo mugs on many occasions. It’s fun to give something that is personalized.
I am a coffee mug collector and I can say that getting one (or several) personlized mugs for mother’s day would be perfect for me!! lol
I am too! You should see how many I have in my cabinets. It is getting out of control, lol.
These would be amazing gifts. I’d love to send something to my mom. Flowers would be really nice.
I love all of these ideas. My absolute favorite gift is when I am given the gift of napping.
Ah, that is a gift I would gladly accept often. 🙂
We get my mom veggie plants for her garden each year. She loves being able to pull gifts from her garden all season long.
I might try my hand at that this year, too. It would be awesome to grow my own veggies.
I love all of these ideas! Simple gifts really are what Moms love (especially when chocolate dipped fruit is involved).
You are definitely right about that. Chocolate dipped fruit is always a good idea as far as I am concerned.
A fresh bouquet of flowers is always appreciated. I love giving them and receiving them all throughout the year, but Mother’s Day is a great day for them.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner! I need to get ready & order flowers now so I don’t run out of time.
It is important to make our mother feel so special even just a day. Let us thank them for all their sacrifices, hardship and for the unconditional love.
These are great Mothers Day ideas. I love to give my Mom nice flowers for Mothers day.

These are great. I am always looking for budget friendly Mothers Day gifts. My mothers birthday is a few days later so it really helps.
I’m definitely passing the ‘clean the house’ suggestion to my family! I love these ideas Dawn. Much more thoughtful than most store bought gifts.
Thanks, Toni! I would rather receive something that I need than a want any day. 🙂

Beautiful ideas for Mothers Day. I love the roses in burlap.
So many great ideas! I’ve been meaning to do a nice framed photo for my mother AND father-in-law for a long time. Maybe this will be the year I finally get it done!
