Mom are the best. They gave birth to us, cook, clean, guide us, love us, and even when we mess up they are there to tell us to get back up. There is no one quite like a mother, and thats why we owe it to them to do something special for them on Mother’s Day which, by the way, is THIS WEEKEND.
If you’re like me, you’re scrambling to think of something to buy your mommy dearest — for a decent price. Mothers Day is always difficult because we’re old enough to want to thank our mothers for everything they do, but don’t have the funds for extravagant things. Luckily, mothers love their children no matter what and it’s the thought that count. We can get off easy by trying to do something sweet and inexpensive. Cards are a little passé but there are a few things you can do for your mother on the day that celebrates everything she does.
HERE ARE 10 GIFT IDEAS FOR MOTHERS DAY IF YOUR BROKE:
Something Small
This always works. Buy a nice box and put in little things that represents your mom’s best qualities. Chocolate because she’s sweet, a stuffed animal because she likes to cuddle, a shoe magnet if she’s a shopaholic, etc. My finest moment was buying a hideous bra from The Bay because my mom is “supportive.”
Flowers
Flowers are normally expensive but there is bound to be a run down florist in your area to get flowers or a plant of choice for a decent price.
Slideshow
All you need is a CD to save it on! Grab pictures or home video footage and make either a slideshow or video. Moms generally are bad with technology, so they will love it even if you suck at video editing.
Breakfast in Bed
This is a standard one but I feel it never gets old, especially if they’re the ones you count on for dinner. Making the family meals is both exhausting and time consuming, so your mother will appreciate getting the time off. The only reason this may not work is if your mom is like my mother and has a phobia of anyone but her touching the stove or making a mess in the kitchen. Remember to clean up after yourself or your mom will be cleaning up the mess made by her birthday present.

The boys of One Direction may already have adoring fans around the world. But let’s remember that they wouldn’t be here without their parents.
So rather than letting the boys take most of the credit, a duo who goes by the name Big Clown Little Clown have released a song dedicated to the mums of One Direction. And due to its popularity, the two are even releasing it to the public to help raise money for a charity that benefits sick children.
Having listened to the song, Harry Styles’ mom Anne Cox is already a fan.
“I first heard the song when Luke & Dave sent it to me a while back, I love it!” she said. “The guys have a brilliant sense of fun, and it’s very tongue-in-cheek.”
“I know myself how hard it is to raise funds for a charity and the help that this will bring to Believe In Magic is wonderful. It’s hard to ask people to ‘give give give’ all the time, so this gives people a chance to help whilst getting something back,” continued Cox. “It’s fantastic and I’d personally like to thank the guys on behalf of BIM.”
How cute!! Now how about some love for the 1D dads??
