Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate those influential women in our life. Whether it’s the women who raised you or a woman who has taken you under her wing and mentored you, we want to take the time on this day to show them how much they mean to us and celebrate all that they’ve sacrificed for our well being. With Mother’s Day around the corner, we sure want to show that appreciation with lavish gifts and experiences but we also have to keep our budget and financials into account. 

Below are three simple ways to celebrate moms this year while sticking to a budget. 

Cook Her Favorite Meal 

So often moms are the ones cooking our favorite meals, so flip the script and make her favorite dish. This is such a special way to celebrate her, while sticking to a budget since the only expense is the cost of the ingredients. She might try to get in on the cooking, but make sure she stays out of the kitchen while you cook up her favorite dish. 

Setup a Picnic Celebration 

This is another simple way to celebrate mom while keeping things cost effective. Select a nice outdoor location (it could be a park or your backyard) and set up a blanket with a charcuterie board and some flowers, and you are all set for a cute and easy Mother’s Day celebration. This one is a great option for giving mom some one-on-one time with you or the opportunity to celebrate with the whole family in a casual way (grandkids running around is always a bonus). Make sure to snap pictures — you can frame them later as an added gift. 

Treat Her to An At-Home Spa Day 

Gather some bubble bath, facial masks, and wine and give mom some much needed alone time to relax. This one is great because you can set up the date for her or simply put a basket together with all the spa goodies for her to do at her convenience. 

Celebrating mom doesn’t have to put a dent in your wallet. Any of these ideas are simple, cost effective, and even more, you can customize them to fit your mom’s taste. 

Moms, you deserve our appreciation everyday, but we hope that through these simple celebrations you feel loved and appreciated a little more on this special day. You deserve it! 

Motherhood comes in many shapes and forms, so whether you are a mom by birth, adoption, mentorship, a mom-to-be, desire to be a mom, or a mom who lost a child, we at Hatch Creatives honor and encourage you. 

Happy Mother’s Day!
