On Sunday, May 8, mothers all around the United States will be celebrated for everything that they do.

Between cooking, working, and cleaning, moms are basically superheros for balancing such a busy schedule in order to help provide for and make a comfortable home for their families.

But for students it can be hard scraping together extra money to get a gift for their mothers.

Here are five cheap and thoughtful ideas that any student can afford.

Flowers

Flowers not only smell sweet, but show whomever you are giving them to that they are just as sweet.

A bouquet of roses can turn pricey, but buying a more simple bundle of flowers or even a single rose can be meaningful.

Pick up a vase to go along with it or find one at home to use and this gift will be sure to melt any mother’s heart.

After all, it is the thought that counts, not the actual gift.

A card

This is one of the most simple gifts out there.

All you need is a piece of paper and some markers, which you can even find/use at school if you do not have any at home.

You can even add glitter or other materials to the card that will make it pop.

If you want to make your card extra special, use a poster board instead of a letter-sized piece of paper.

This extra-large card is sure to impress any mom.

Put some thought and time into it, too.

Do not just throw together any card, put some effort into it, just like how mother’s put effort into their families.

A collage

Mothers love reminiscing in past memories of their children’s childhood — aka — they love pictures.

Baby pictures, family pictures, Christmas pictures – all pictures.

Putting together a collage of pictures, including some of you and your mother, will make any mom a happy camper.

This gift is not only inexpensive, it is sweet.

Just pick up a cheap frame and print off pictures from home.

Even if they are in black and white it can still look good, especially if they are put in a black frame.

Breakfast in bed

This is not technically a gift, but it is a kind gesture that could substitute for one.

Make your mom whatever she likes and serve it to her that morning.

You will most likely have most of the food at home anyway.

Feel free to even take the extra step of making or buying her favorite breakfast pastry like a doughnut or cinnamon roll.

This is simple and takes little to no planning.

Most mothers cook for their families, so switch roles for once and cook for her.

Bake for her

Food is the key to just about everyone’s heart — and stomach.

Bake a Mother’s Day cake, a batch of cookies, or your mom’s favorite dessert.

Most of the ingredients you will likely have already at home, so this idea is especially inexpensive.

After dinner, surprise her with a sweet that will appeal to her sweet tooth.

This shows that, as her son or daughter, you care and want to make this day special for her.

But no matter what you get or make for your mother, she is sure to appreciate it.
