Not everyone has the budget to spend $100 or more on a gift, especially the children, but Mother's Day is a chance to show your mom how much you lover her, not always how much you can spend.

Therefore it's important to remember that mom's just want to feel special. Here are a few kid and budget friendly gift ideas that would be great on Mother's Day, or any day.

* Pick her flowers.

* Write her a letter.

* Make her a card.

* Bake her a cake/cookies.

* Create a photo album of you and your mom.

* Make mom a piece of jewelry.

* Write her a poem.

* Hand print an apron.

* Make gift soaps or candles.

* Prepare and serve her breakfast in bed.

* Make mom a ceramic.

* Clean your room/ the house — without being asked.

* Offer to baby-sit for your little brother or sister (without being paid).

* Tell mom you love her.

15. Ask mom what she'd like you to do — take a walk with her, go for a picnic, wash her car? Remember, the more things that you do for mom, the more time she has to spend with you. And that's the gift that moms love most of all.
