Easy and Affordable Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is just around the corner and these days it is tradition to celebrate this holiday by giving our Mother's a gift from the heart, whether it be something expensive, flowers or something handmade. Here is a list of some of my favorite gifts to give my mother.

Live plants, flowers or seeds, these are simple and affordable and with little love and attention you can have a blooming plant each year.

Personalized or handmade gifts are also a great way to show your love. Personalized key chains or photo frames that hold a picture are a great way for your mom to remember when you were little.
There are so many ways to show your mom that you love and appreciate all she does for you. A gift doesn't have to cost a fortune. It can be something as simple as making dinner for her or making her a special card. Moms love that sort of thing.

Looking for a bouquet of flowers that will never wilt or die? Make this precious keepsake for Mom or Grandma this Mother’s Day and they will cherish it always.

What you'll need:
Construction paper, various colors
Glue stick

Scissors
Tape
Green chenille stems, one for each flower
Optional: patterned paper

How to make it:
Cut photos into circles to be used as the center of the flower.
Cut simple flower shapes out of construction paper.
Glue photo circle to the center of the flower.
This step is optional: Glue construction paper flower to a piece of patterned paper. Cut around the flower giving your construction paper about a half-inch border of patterned paper.
Tape chenille stem to the back of your flower. Make sure the tape is secure by pressing onto the tape with your fingernail.
Trim ends of chenille to the length you desire, depending on what you are using as a vase. If making a handheld bouquet, don’t trim the chenille; simply tie a ribbon bow around them all.
