Most Creative and Budget-Friendly Beauty Gifts for Mother’s Day

Want to get something skincare-related and special for mom but don’t have oodles of cash to spend? Here are seven ideas that go easy on the budget but will still spoil and pamper her just the same.

Working with a smaller budget this year? That’s OK! Here are key tips for creating budget-friendly – but still fabulous – gifts. Remember, a luxurious present that makes Mom feel special and pampered doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Skincare-News.com’s latest article, “Get Creative for Mother’s Day with These 7 Budget-Friendly Tips for Gifts,” offers gift ideas that are truly luxe for less. And the best part? Most of them are one of a kind!

  1. Bring the spa retreat home. The next time Mom has the day off, offer to take her to a luxurious spa getaway – in the privacy and comfort of her own home. Gather up her favorites: robe, slippers, a book, drink of choice, candles and a soothing CD. Make it extra special by taking care of any pressing errands so she can genuinely enjoy a relaxing and rejuvenating day.
  2. Create a beauty recipe book. Not so great at cooking up DIY skincare creations? Let Mom do the cooking! Go to the bookstore and pick out a pretty journal. Then, find a few great recipes for facials and body treatments online, and write them down in the journal. As a bonus, include favorite family food recipes.
  3. Create a gift basket. Put together a beautiful gift basket that includes homemade skincare treatments, a beauty book, several grocery store-bought scented candles, a relaxing CD, miniature-sized soaps, bubble bath and a few of Mom’s favorite sweet treats. Basically, just focus on the items that she considers relaxing and put them in her luxurious spa-inspired basket.
