A List of Cheap and Creative Ideas for Mother’s Day Gifts

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Casper Libero chapter.

Mother’s day is coming and along with it the worry: “What am I going to give to my mom?”. The situation only gets worse when money is short and things only get more expensive. However, you can keep calm: it’s possible to give her something nice without spending a lot. The next question is: “What gift best suits my mom?”.

Our mom is the person we can always count on, no matter the problem, what we’ve done or our flaws. They love us aside from anything, so how about dedicating some of your time doing something nice for her? Look what we’ve found here is Brazilian’ stores.

Mother’s Day Gifts

  • Draft book

At the store Uatt you can buy the book “O pequeno guia para sorrir no dia a dia.” for R$25,80. It has lots of blank spaces, and you can give to her that way. However, it’s even more special if you fill it with significant stuff for both of you. Affectionate phrases, pictures, memories…

  • Picture frame

    How about a picture frame with a photo of a memorable moment? This is perfect if you don’t live with your mom anymore, so she can look at it and remember how much she loves you. At the online store fabrica9.com you can find this frame for just R$35,90.

    • Nice cup

    Does your mom love coffee? Milk? Juice? You can help her take her favorite drink anywhere she wants! The store Imaginarium offers, for R$49,90, a mug that is also a jar and has a cute phrase to make her happy.

    • Cute pillow

    On this day, the importante thing is to remind you mom what she means to you. Have you ever thought about telling her that in a decorative way, which she can also sleep with? At Uatt, you can find this pillow that means exactly this for R$39,90.

    • Neck pillow

    For a traveler mom, it would be nice to make her more comfortable in those moments. You still have time to order this neck pillow at Dose Humor for R$15,49. The image suggests a frase, but it is possible to choose one that you prefer.

    • Beer glass

    For those moms who are also drink partners, at Uatt you can buy her a Hannover beer glass for R$45,90.

    • Mugs

    Sharing breakfeast with those we love is always nice, especially when it’s our mom, and that moment can be even more special with these mugs that complete each other and are stackable, found at Imaginarium for R$44,90.

    • Supermom apron

    Nothing is better than our mom’s food, so this apron, that shows how amazing she is, is perfect for mothers that love cooking. At Isso Prene you can buy the Super Mom apron for R$35,50, because your mom is super.

    • Eye mask

    Every mom is awesome just for being a mom, so remind her of that. That is why this gift is beatiful and useful: to help your mom’s sleep you can give her this eye mask with gel bubbles, from Uatt, for R$44,90.

    DIY: Mother’s Love Frame

    Don’t you wanna give your mom any of these? Still expensive? What about do something yourself or complete it with a card? In that case, now you can learn to do a sweet, beautiful, special gift for your mom, which is also easy to make!

    For Mother’s Day, website Namorada Criativa has provided some guidelines of stuff we can make it ourselves. What I’m suggesting is practical and requires few materials. 

    Materials

    • A printed cast (it is recommended to print it in thicker papaers that are compatible with your printer);
    • Scissors;
    • Glue;
    • Double sided tape;
    • Printed material, available at Namorada Criativa.

    Step by step

    1. With a sharp material cut and crease all the dotted lines.

    2. Next, fold inwards where the centre dotted lines point out to.

    3. Then, as in the picture, glue the one tip to another.

    4. To glue the hearts and the little flags, to give them a 3D effect, use the double sided tape to them to the cast.

    5. Next, to garnish it, the author of the project decided to glue plastic cristals, giving it a little twist.

    And with that, a beatiful present made by you to your mom is ready!

    These are some tips to make you mom happy on her day!
