3. Breakfast in Bed… or Not

These ideas can easily be translated to a delightful on-the-go breakfast as well by reusing a cereal box to hold the items for easy transportation and storage.

5. Quality time!
Sometimes the best gifts in life are free. When it comes to mom, this couldn’t be more true. When was the last time you spent some quality time with your mother? Make some time to spend it with her doing whatever she likes to do. It doesn’t have to cost anything other than your time and attention. Play a game of cards, cook a family dinner, help her with projects around the house, or just make the day all about her. No gift could be sweeter or mean more to any mom.
