Give a great Mothers' day gift without spending money

25 Apr, 2013

It’s going to be mum’s special day soon but are you struggling to keep to the month’s budget? We give you the inside on best gifts mum will love -- without you having to spend a bomb!

1. Homemade scented candles

1. Homemade scented candles

Give mum a fragrant homemade candle that you can easily make from scratch! Gather materials like old candles, crayons and essential oils that you can find around the house, then melt and re-mould them into any shape you want. Personalise your candle with mum’s favourite scent in a pretty glass holder.
2. Homemade soap bars

It’s really not as tricky as it looks! Get soap base and some natural fragrance or colouring then melt them together to form new shapes that mum will love. Package your handmade gift in elegant sheer paper for a refined touch and chic finish.
3. Home spa and massage

If spa vouchers are too pricey, why not give dear old mum some deserved pampering by yourself! Set up a home spa personalised for mummy dearest and treat her to back rubs and massages in the presence of delicious smelling aromatic scents that is sure to calm a frazzled mother.
4. Exclusive concert

If all the other gift ideas seem to run-of-the-mill or if you want to do something different to impress mum, why not give her a private concert? Team up with the rest of your siblings or perform solo -- you can choose to record an original song or poem recital and burn it into a CD for gifting, or stage a live performance for mum. It’ll be her perfect chance to lie back, relax and just enjoy the show.
5. Family photo frame

What better way to remind mum of the love her family has for her than to gift her with a family photo frame! Let your imagination run wild and get crafty with decorating your own picture frame. Start with a plain wood frame and adorn it with sparkly ornaments, then finish off with mum’s favourite family shot framed up in it.
