Free Mother’s Day gifts are truly the way to win moms heart.
With the special mom holiday coming up, I wanted to share 5 ideas that won’t cost you a dime! Or even a penny….
Free Mother’s Day gifts, yes you heard that right. Maybe I speak for myself, but I don’t think at the core what moms’ want are lavish presents. I mean, most moms get themselves what they want, am I right? Ok, maybe it’s just me. I mean, within reason. Mother’s Day is kind-of my favorite because my family showers me all day, and I love it. If you are a fellow momma, feel free to just drop this link hint to your kids/spouse to read over and get ideas that you would love.
My husband does an excellent job of rounding up the kids and has taught them that Mother’s Day is a day of service from them to me. My kids have done a fantastic job of playing into this, and for that I’m grateful. It’s not just breakfast in bed, but pampering me all day. I’ll share some of the things I have loved most that don’t cost a thing. Just time, effort, and love.
Free Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
- Extremity Massage
- Making all the meals
- Kids showing kindness to each other
- Thoughtful hand written letters
- Togetherness
- Taking Pictures
Extremity Massage–I have to say extremity because it’s so much more than a foot or back massage. I love it, each of my 4 kids takes an extremity and rubs the hand or the foot. It’s pretty funny and we get a picture every year. I lay there, experiencing bliss, and they’ll rotate or massage my head or shoulders, too.
Making all the meals (and snacks!)–I do love breakfast in bed on a tray (check out these frozen Blueberry Scones – perfect for breakfast in bed!), but it’s every meal off my hands on Mother’s Day. I get some true me time while they do the work in the kitchen. It doesn’t even have to be extravagant, and something easy they can make are meals using a few quick, ready-to-eat products. We love these Meatballs and Mozzarella Sticks from Farm Rich. They are a super easy meal to pull together, saving effort for other activities (plus, I know they’re going to taste good!).
Mother’s Day Gifts Mom Will Love
Kindness–Yep, it SURE makes this momma happy to see her kids loving each other and speaking kindly to each other. I throw around “not on Mother’s Day” all day long if they mis-step with each other! But they are usually pretty good, they know it’s the key to my heart.
Letters–Oh yes, I do love the written word. I’m all about meaningful…thoughtful. We do this for birthdays as well, but they will all write hand written letters/cards and share with me what they love that we’ve done together or what I’ve done for them. True treasures, right there.
Togetherness–I love just hanging out, playing games, going on a family walk, just spending TIME all together. This is a perfect gift, all moms will love this.
Taking Pictures–My kids KNOW that cooperating for family pictures is a HUGE gift to me. I’m not even talking about scheduling something with a photographer, but it’s our tradition to snap a picture of the kids and me on Mother’s Day and they cooperate (often through gritted teeth) because they know it’s my day and that’s what I love. Pictures, pictures, all day long.
Do you have any other suggestions for FREE Mother’s day gifts that you’d love to have or have been gifted in the past? Showing love doesn’t have to cost a thing!
