Yesterday, we shared a list of top gifts for Mom that don't include flowers or chocolate.

Today, we're all about treating Mom without breaking the bank.

Here are our favorite gift ideas for under $5:

1. Homemade treats: You can bake some delicious treats like cookies, brownies, or cupcakes for your mother. You can also decorate them with icing or sprinkles to make them look more attractive.  Use what you have on hand!  Be sure to clean up the kitchen when you're done!  Here are some Hannah-approved baking/cooking essentials to make the job easier and fun: Stainless Steel Pancake Batter Dispenser, Cakestar Cake Decorating Kit with Compressor, Kootek Aluminum Cake Deocorating Kit with Turntable, and Wilton Cake Boards.

2. Flower seeds: You can buy a packet of flower seeds for your mother, which she can plant in her garden. This will not only be a thoughtful gift but also a way for her to remember you whenever she sees the flowers.  Choose perennials and these will return every year!  

3. Photo frame: You can buy a simple photo frame and add a favorite photo of you and Mom together. This will be a beautiful reminder of a special time you shared together.  You can even spruce the frame up some by adding your own personal touches.

4. Bookmarks: You can make some cute bookmarks for your mother with some cardstock, glue, and some decorations. We also have Wooden DIY Bookmarks available to create yourself or gift to Mom.  Personalize it to make it special!  Visit a used bookstore and pick up a novel in her favorite genre!

What other ideas do you have for Mother's Day gifts on a budget?  Share in the comments!  We'd love to see your creative side!
