“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”
~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. If you are strapped for cash, here are some lovely gift ideas for Mom that won’t cost you a cent. Remember, the best things in life are free!
- Let your words be your gift. Write a heartfelt letter to your Mom letting her know just how special she is to you. Find some pretty paper to use, skip the notebook paper. Don’t type it, handwritten notes are so much more personal. Spray it with a little perfume to give it a special touch. If you have a way with words, try composing a poem just for her. Don’t know what to write? List your 10 favorite things about her.
- Give the gift of service. Is there something that you could fix for your Mother? Perhaps you could mow the lawn for her and/or pull some weeds in her garden. Wash and vacuum her car for her or clean her bathroom for her.
- Serve her breakfast in bed. Raid your pantry for ingredients to whip up a delicious meal that is as special as she is.
- Pamper her. Give Mom a manicure and/or pedicure.
- Give the gift of music. Have a blank CD lying around? Compile a list of her favorite tunes and burn it for her. Try the websites that are free, such as Limewire if you don’t already have songs to use. You can even print the lyrics out for her or handwrite them for a more personal touch.

Speaking as a mother myself, these are great gift ideas. Most mothers would be delighted to receive any of your gift ideas given from the heart, rather than gifts given with little thought, but lots of $$. Sounds like you and your mom are very lucky to have each other.
