Mother's Day is such a hard holiday to shop for because it's a way to treat your mom for all the things she does for you but nothing ever feels quite good enough (especially on a budget).

Though these gifts can't make up for everything our moms do year-round, they are still thoughtful options when you're on a budget.

1. Flowers

Flowers are a classic for any holiday but put a personal twist on it by buying a potted flower or plant that your mom can continue to grow year-round.

2. Edible Arrangement

Yes, these are just fruit arrangements that disappear quickly but there is something so luxurious-feeling about eating fruit that is arranged in a bouquet.

3. Pedicure

This is something you can get your mom or take her yourself but either way, it says that she deserves a little pampering.

4. Massage

Speaking of pampering, if your mom is stressed and could some ultimate relaxation a massage is a nice treat for her.

5. Makeup or Perfume

No one NEEDS perfume or makeup but that is part of what makes it so exciting. It’s a nice way to make your mom feel beautiful.

6. Candles

Candles can be burned year-round and every time she lights it she will think of you.

7. Movie Tickets

These can be to an early screening or just to a movie she wants to see. Whether she takes a friend or you go with, it’s a fun night out that she probably doesn’t get enough.

8. Gift Card

Now a gift card can seem like a generic gift but if you know a specific place your mom likes to shop it can be a good way to make sure she actually spends some money on herself and gets exactly what she wants.

9. Dinner together

Sometimes all a mom wants is some quality one-on-one time with her kid so why not treat her to a dinner where she can spend time with you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
