Homemade gift certificates for MOM – thoughtful and easy on the budget!
Okay, Let’s Face It — How many of you are scratching your heads on what to get Mom this year?
I have to admit, I’ve been stumped. I’ve been looking for something a little practical. My mom’s not one to soak in the tub with bubble baths or enjoy the luxury of a pedicure. She prefers to choose her own clothes and she doesn’t overindulge with jewels. She’s got enough nick nacks collecting dust, kitchen utensils and any other household item one could want to fill up space. For her birthday, I knew she wanted a new purse so I sent her a gift card. (I knew it was best to let her choose her own purse because she likes lots of pockets, zippers and storage.) But, Mother’s Day really is special and I’m wishing I could give something to really commemorate the day.

I came across a site while searching for gifts online called, Regiftable.com, where you can share your stories of regifting. By the way, you can read some funny stories about people who received or gave recycled gifts. I know I’ve been victim myself on occasions.

Anyway, they have a link where you can create your own gift certificate to print out. I wish they had more templates, but template #5 can do for practically any occasion. Here’s the direct link: http://www.regiftable.com/DontWantToRegift/Default.aspx
Here’s some homemade gifts and gift certificate ideas for Mother’s Day:
- Clean her house
- Bake her favorite dish
- Take her to a favorite location: lake, park or place where she grew up
- Offer to record her favorite book or poems on tape (if it’s not already available on tape).
- Invite her for a special movie night at home with just the two of you
- Help paint a favorite room in her house - fresh paint and new colors can do wonders for a room
- If your mom loves pampering - give her a personal pampering party.
- Plant some flowers in her yard
- Do something she’s been begging you to do for years
