With Mother’s Day
around the corner, you
may be thinking of
ways to show your appreciation for mom.
If you’re on a budget,
you’re in luck. The discount experts at Dollar
General are sharing
helpful advice.
• Breakfast in Bed: Every mom deserves some
time to relax. Why not
begin Mother’s Day by
pampering her with
breakfast in bed? Don’t
forget to make the meal
complete with a card
and a cup of coffee.
• Watch it Grow: Spend
Mother’s Day afternoon making memories
with Mom and see your
love grow all spring
and summer. Pick out
a beautiful new planter
with gardening tools,
soil and seeds. Work
thing beautiful. As the
plants grow, she will be
reminded of you!
• Bake and Make:
Update and brighten
Mom’s kitchen without
over-spending. At a
discount retailer such
as Dollar General,
colorful new oven mitts
and kitchen towels are
available for $1 dollar
each. Look for her favorite colors or the ones
that best complement
her kitchen.
Give Mom an opportunity to use her new gifts
by packaging them
together with an easy
cupcake or brownie
mix and kitchen utensils. Baking together is
a great way to spend
quality time while providing yummy treats to
celebrate the big day!
• Tell the Birds: Get
Mom a themed birdhouse with bird seeds,
or consider making a
birdhouse together as
an afternoon arts and
crafts project. Either
way, you can help her
fi nd the best place in
the yard to enjoy the
colorful and beautiful
birds that will soon
be frequent visitors.
They’ll be singing all
season!
Everything from lawn
and garden items to
birdhouses, as well as
great recipes and mixes

you care and make
