Add two tablespoons of warmth to one cup of love – that’s the simple recipe to make your mother happy! A mother does not want much except for your time, attention and love. It is probably the most inexpensive experience to impress her. A bouquet of flowers or a cup of morning tea is enough to melt her heart and make her feel loved.

One of the simplest things you can do on Mother’s Day is spending time with her. The maximum a mother seeks is your time, attention and care. Dedicatedly give her a few hours of your attention. Mother’s Day falls on a Sunday so you can move your weekend plans to Saturday and completely disconnect from work. Then, get yourself involved in a hobby of your mum's choice. Like, if your mother is into gardening, you can plant a sapling together, water the plants, create a mini window-garden and make the day memorable. Similarly, if she is into music, you can spend the day listening, singing and learning music. Whatever be her hobby, you can easily dedicate a few hours to pursue it with the woman who has always been there for you to pursue your choices and interests. Happy Mother's Day 2018: Here's How You Can Wish Your Mom in Different Languages.

Cook Her a Meal/Bake a Cake

Cook her a meal or bake a cake. It involves the minimal amount of effort, and most of the items will already be available at home. If you do not know how to cook/bake, fret not, there are countless videos available online. In fact, you can check out one of the ‘three-ingredient chocolate cake’ or a simple ‘mug cake’ recipe to simplify your task further. These hardly take five minutes to be baked and the preparation time is also less. To prepare a lavish meal or fancy cake is not the objective of this gift, but it is to put in some effort and time for cooking something for the woman who has been feeding you since the first bite you took.

Knit Her a Sweater/Shawl

This one will involve a little bit more skill and time than the other ideas on this list. But it's definitely worth a try. You can attempt to knit a simple scarf or sweater for your mother. You can take help from one of the senior ladies in the family or anyone who is skilled at knitting, or watch a couple of online free tutorials. The best part is it will be a personalised gift that she can keep and use for long. Also, it will be a value add for you as you will learn a new skill.

Watch a Movie Together

If your mother is a movie buff, you can simply create a mini theatre at home. Grab some popcorn, darken the room and put her favourite film on. You can together go on a movie marathon and watch multiple films, or just give her 2-3 hours and watch one of her favourite movies. This will involve a very nominal amount of monetary expenditure, but the time and effort will be an investment in strengthening your bond with her and bringing you closer as friends.

Handmade Card/Scrapbook

If you have a creative edge, put it to good use and make a greeting card for her. You can also go the extra mile and make a scrapbook with pictures of your fondest memories. You can create this in collaboration with your sibling(s) too. This will give her something she can keep with her forever and cherish it. You can also make it more special by adding messages, poems and notes for her.

Now that we have given you these ideas, you can go ahead and try one of these to make your mother’s Mother’s Day special. The best thing is even if you have a limited budget, you can go ahead with one of these ideas and the gift will still make your mother extremely happy.
