IT’S the weekend for making your mum feel extra special.
But you don’t need to spend big on Mother’s Day to show you care.

With a little time, you can create gifts that are meaningful, without a whopping price tag. Here are some ideas . . .
HAMPER: Creating a basket of your mum’s favourite goodies can be scaled up or down depending on your budget.
Start with a £3 felt flower basket from Flying Tiger.
Line the bottom with some coloured tissue paper or shredded coloured paper to make it look more presentable.

Choose a range of pics of you and your mum and pop into an album or stick on to a scrapbook with some written descriptions and funny anecdotes.
TEA TIME: If you’re feeling creative, you could paint your own mug to give to Mum. Then every time she has a cuppa, she’ll think of you.
The Works and The Range both sell kits for £3 or less.
You don’t have to be great at art, you can just paint out the word’s “Best mum” and add a few decorative flourishes, such as hearts.
SUPER SCRUB: It’s Mum’s day to be pampered — and a homemade body scrub should help.
Use an old clean jam jar with labels peeled off for the packaging.
Then buy a pack of brown sugar (£1.80, Tesco) and scoop out around enough to fill three-quarters of the jar.
Mix in a bowl with around a quarter of the jar’s worth of coconut oil (£1.99, Aldi).
Then pour into the jam jar. You can add a couple of drops of essential oils, too. When you’re finished just tie a ribbon around the top of the jar.
