Now, when we say “cheap Mothers Day gift ideas”, it’s not like we’re suggesting you gift wrap a rock from the backyard and call it ‘unique’. But given the economic rollercoaster we’re all riding thanks to our pal COVID-19, perhaps this year’s homage to the woman who somehow still loves us after our teen years could be more wallet-friendly. Cheaper doesn’t mean cheap on the love meter, folks. Here are some laugh-worthy, budget-conscious gifts for your numero uno lady:

ToggleChore Bond Coupons
Think back to those golden days post-toddlerhood when your mom turned into the gentle dictator of the household chores. Time to give back with homemade coupons she’ll actually love: “One Day of Peaceful Coexistence (No Chores for Mom),” “Movie Night – Mom’s Choice (Even if It’s That One Rom-Com for the 100th Time),” and “Dinner by Chef Me (Fire Department on Standby).” These rather practical gifts for mom will surely satisfy her inner matriarchal self.

DIY Crafty Wonders
Got a talent for making things that don’t fall apart? Perfect. It’s time to channel your inner artisan and craft something that screams “I’m broke but thoughtful!” Whether it’s a scarf that’s slightly lopsided, a keepsake box that only a mother could love, or a piece of jewelry that’s avant-garde (read: interesting to look at), remember: it’s the thought and potential emergency room visits from crafting that count.

Jar of Nostalgia
They say you can’t put a price on memories, but hey, we’re trying to keep costs down, so a jar filled with them is pretty much priceless. Scribble down your favorite mom-and-me moments, stuff them into a jar, and watch as she opens each one, possibly questioning your memory of events but loving it all the same.

Bake It Till You Make It
If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, the way to a mom’s heart is through baked goods that don’t taste like cardboard. Whip up her favorite treats—cookies, cupcakes, or something vaguely healthy if you’re both into that. The real treat is the time you and your mom spent together, inhaling the sugar-laden air of your kitchen.

Themed Gift Baskets for the Win
Not sure what your mom likes these days? Go for some themed gift sets for mom that scream “I put thought into this because I love you (and I’m also on a budget).” Options include the “Relaxation Package” (bath bomb from the dollar store, a candle that smells like actual food, and the fanciest tea bag you can find) or the “Movie Night Kit” (an assortment of snacks that won’t leave crumbs on her couch). Affordable, yet filled with love.
