Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited to spoil the number one woman in our life!<\/p>\n
But that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to break out the big bucks to show your appreciation for mom. Put your credit card away and\u00a0gift her\u00a0something different this year.<\/p>\n
You’ll find that all you need for the perfect present is already sitting in your house.<\/p>\n
Write a card.\u00a0<\/strong>If you’re not the best at expressing yourself through writing, start by thinking of what you’re thankful for and maybe throw in a few inside jokes or throwback moments. Whatever you decide to write, don’t forget to sign off with\u00a0how much you love her — we guarantee this will ignite the waterworks. Also, don’t feel the need splurge on a fancy card and get your DIY on instead. We’re willing to bet your mom will prefer the handmade card over a storebought one.<\/p>\n Breakfast in bed.\u00a0<\/strong>Cook up some breakfast and deliver the spread straight to her bed! Not only will your mom start her day off right, but she’ll also get the well-deserved rest she probably needed. If you’re not much of a cook, pour some yogurt and granola into a bowl, chop up some fruit, and toast up some frozen waffles! This is one of those “it’s the thought that counts” moments and your mom will appreciate the effort.<\/p>\n Spend the day with her.<\/strong>\u00a0Giving your time to someone is one of the best ways to show your appreciation for them. Go on a picnic at the park, pamper her with an at-home spa day, or just have some heart to heart with a day in. Don’t sweat if your plans don’t work out — you’d be surprised at how much your mom just wants to spend time with you.<\/p>\n Take over chores. <\/strong>Vacuum the floors, wash the dishes, take out the trash — do everything your childhood self would’ve\u00a0never thought to do. A chore-free day might be exactly what your mom needs.<\/p>\n Find a DIY project. <\/strong>Whether you don’t have the extra bucks to get your mom the gift you want or you just want to give her something more personal, <\/strong>a DIY project might be your best bet.\u00a0<\/strong>You can customize your own picture frame, embroider her favorite word on a tee, paint a picture, or write 50 reasons why you love her and throw it into a jar. The options are endless, so get your creative juices flowing!<\/p>\n xx, The FabFitFun Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"Mother's Day is right around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited to spoil ...","author":1427020,"featured_media":102352,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[260],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/27104434\/toa-heftiba-205000-660x400.jpg","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/27104434\/toa-heftiba-205000.jpg","formated_date":"April 27, 2017","category_name":"Life","category_icon":"https:\/\/d3vodd1ws13xud.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/10113832\/entertainment.svg","author_name":"","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#b9ff8e","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101462"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1427020"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102352"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
