With Mother's Day fast approaching, the thought of a gift is probably on the mind. But no worries, here are a few Do It Yourself (DIY) items that are cheap, simple, and full of love. Most, if not all, of the items can be purchased from a dollar store if you need to be budget-conscious. Otherwise, all of these items can be found in a craft store!

1. Breakfast in Bed

No need for mom to hop out of bed to snag a quick breakfast when it can be brought right to her bedside. A warm cup of coffee, eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes-- mom's wish is your command.

2. A Succulent Bouquet

If mom can't seem to keep anything alive in her garden, or maybe she is a pro, succulents are all the rage and an incredibly modern twist to a classic flower centerpiece. Tips for planting and keeping your succulents beautiful can be found here.

14. Coffee Basket

Mom probably can't survive the day without her caffeine, so buy her some of her favorite beans, flavorings, and even a new cute mug.

15. Movie Night

Either a night in or a night out - this choice is up to mom. If there is a movie in theaters mom has been dying to see take her out and treat her to some popcorn and candy.
