Did you notice how I said, “5 Things to do for Mother’s Day?” instead of “5 Things To Buy for Mother’s Day?”. I for one am not interested in material things on special occasions like Mother’s Day. Sure getting a shiny ring, necklace, or bracelet is nice. I’m not going to be a hypocrite here. However, special gifts where it doesn’t involve charging a credit card or spending cash are so much better in my opinion.
Here are 5 Things To Do For Mother’s Day that doesn’t involve too much money that I hope you’d consider doing for the Mother of your children/child.
5 Things To Do On Mother's Day
Homemade Cards — gather up the kids a few days before Mother’s Day and spend some time doing crafty stuff for Mommy. You can buy materials from the Dollar Stores so everything should be affordable.
Watch DVDs — suck it up and rent her favorite tear-jerker or chick flicks. For one day, join her in the couch to watch a romantic-comedy movie starring Matthew McConaughey, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, or Owen Wilson. Their movies are actually good if you ignore the fact that your wife is drooling over them, respectively. No disrespect towards you and your marriage of course. She just appreciates good looking Men and YOU are on top of her list since she married you after all.
Write Her A Song or Poem — this is always a hit. If you know how to play a guitar, then by all means go for it. A nice poem stating how much you love her and how much you appreciate everything she does to be the best Mom she can be would melt her heart out. Involve the kids if you want to as well. This would probably work on any special occasions.
Pamper Her — you can do this without having to send her to a spa. With how the economy is, I’m sure she’ll understand if her pampering is done at home. Prepare her bath, then hand her a glass of wine and whatever book she is currently reading. Make sure to tell the kids not to disturb Mom in her time alone time. A peaceful bath without anyone knocking on the door asking for something is ALWAYS appreciated. Afterwards, give her a back and foot massages. Hey, you might as well 
If you get something in return at the end of the day for making the day special then Congratulations, that’s what we call a cherry on top. But I’m sure that’s not really what you’re after. I’m just saying,
