On what to get my mom for mothers day... something inexpensive... I love my mom but I don't have much money :cry:
I thought about sending her flowers but the really nice ones are expensive. What do you all think?

I always find that you can go back to your school days when you used to bring home some sad art or craft that she would hang on the fridge for a week or so. Make something for her, this year mom get's a butter rum Marble cake, made by her loving son. She knows that I'm a busy guy so taking the "Time" to do something for her will be something she appriciates.
But all mommies are different so this is just one sugesstion.

The best present my daughter ever gave me was a long letter about how she loved me and looked up to me as a role model. She talked about what I accomplished in my life and how proud she was to be my daughter. I still have that letter.

I went to the local nursery and bought my mom a little tea rose (Peace rose variety) and planted it in a nice pot for her

I wouldnt tell her what kind of rose it is. she has to wait for it to bloom. hopefully by Mother's Day

That's nice too. You could also write little notes (or even one special one) about "I remember when you..." to put in the box and she will be mush. I would be mush so I'm calling that mother-tested/mother-approved!

My mom loves ELVIS....i spent $9.00 on elvis material, $4.00 on some solid black then another $6.00 for batting (at super walmart..lol) ....and i made her 5 pillows and a scented door hanger for under $20.00.
You can find lots of different types of material but then i guess i was just assuming you could sew.LOL

ANYWAY POINT BEING MY MOM ALWAYS SEEMS TO APPRECIATE SOMETHING I SPENT TIME TO MAKE, MORE THAN SOMETHING I BOUGHT.
*itilian charm braclets are also a nice personal gift, you can usually make one for uner $25.00.
*then there are the sappy poems speaking of your childhood and your fond memories of a wonderful mom and how you hope you can be even half of what she is, the cost is nothing but they are priceless!

a bottle of her favorite perfume, can be expensive, but you can usually find a pretty decent selection at discount stores for pretty cheap.

One rose. Having eleven more in a bunch doesn' t make the first one any more beautiful. Besides, all she likely wants is time with YOU. flowerforyou
