For maximum indulgence make a natural rose petal scrub: take dried rose petals, two cups of sugar, two cups of coconut oil and blitz together. Any remaining petals can be sprinkled in the bath for a high-end spa feel for next to nothing.
Make her a beauty hamper
Fill a gift basket with her favourite inexpensive products.
Her favourite shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste could be included as well as samples of her favourite beauty products. Decorate the basket with a beautiful ribbon for a present that’s both affordable and fabulous.
Fill a scrapbook with memories
Remembering some amazing memories, you’ve shared over the years is a gift that your mum will cherish forever.

Unique and Personal
Rather than splurging on a designer handbag or shoes, make a day-to-day object unique by adding a personalised touch.
Get a keepsake engraved or add a message onto a cotton tote bag. Resulting in a timeless and cherished gift for maximum impact and little cost.
Jazz up your flowers
If you’re choosing to get your mum some flowers for Mother’s Day, but can’t afford an expensive bunch, why not jazz them up yourself?

Create a playlist
Make a playlist filled with all of her favourite tunes and share it through a streaming website.
If your mum is a little challenged when it comes to technology, why not download a few and pop them onto a CD for her?
Or, to save even more money, you could collect up all of her most-loved albums and burn her favourite tracks from the albums onto a new CD, so all of her favourite music will be together on one disc.
