We always encourage a money free day. The kids think really hard about what they can make me and it ends up being more thoughtful this way. Today I got two handmade cards, a coffee mug we already owned with my son’s drawing on it, and breakfast in bed!

Beautiful ideas! I’d much rather presents with a lot of thought & simple everyday things. I also like an experience together wether it be a family outing somewhere new or lunch at a new place that we’ve never tried before. I always think ‘something to remember’

a head or leg massage by the kids

Absolutely love these ideas! I would prefer these any day. Thanks so much for sharing.

I’ll be chatting on the phone to my kids and my mum on Mother’s Day. Won’t be able to see any of them, but at least we can chat

Mum’s would love anything as long as it’s done with love

lovely ideas for money free gifts

It’s true, you don’t have to spend much or nothing at all to give mum a great mother’s day

  Time and attention is the most precious gift.

What great ideas. Some people really stress over gift buying when they have no money. Good to see you can still spoil mum and not bankrupt yourself

100% the thought that counts. I love this article. Yes, clean the house and bring me a wine haha that’s what I want

Make sure the bonus happens every day of the year – hugs and kisses are a big must in my mind.

I think the main thing is you are thinking of your Mum so the more personal you can make the gift the better. Often Mums want to make a photo book etc so make it for her or back up her photos or whatever it is that’s important to your Mum.

I really don’t want much for Mother’s Day. Going out with my family for a walk (hopefully with good weather) is already enough. If I don’t have to cook, even better!

Absolutely.. it is the thought that counts and sometimes the time you put in.. don’t need to spend big time to show your love.

I love those gifts.
An afternoon walk in the bush with the family, relaxing, enjoying nature and connecting together is one of my favourites

An outing to a favourite place and a lunch of favourite home cooked foods.

The simple and personal ideas are the best, l love a picnic with food l have prepared and a lovely bunch of flowers and a card.
