scrambling at the last minute to find a gift (it seems I forget it's Mother's Day or Father's Day every year, it alternates) I have the added stress this year of being absolutely, completely, 100% flat broke with no end in sight. So what's a cash-strapped but loving child to do for a great mother when a card just won't suffice?Google (NYSE:GOOG) of course! A search for affordable Mother's Day Gifts turned up several helpful websites. ABC News featured "Mother's Day Gift Ideas That Won't Break the Bank," Living a Better Life, a money-saving ezine, suggested 18 great gifts, many of them free. About.com directed me to Frugal Living, a blog by Erin Huffstetler. Erin suggested 6 "super cheap" Mother's Day gifts that are "likely to make your mom swoon" without incurring a bill that'll make you swoon.
Here are my favorite gift ideas:
1. Personalized stamps - Frugal Living
2. A family portrait (using old photos) - Frugal Living
3. Personalized family cookbook (your photos, your recipes) from Kodak - ABC News.
