Rather than spend money this mothers day; try this:
Spend the least money and the most time.
For most gifts the ratio: money-spent /time-spent > 20. That is for every dollar spent only 1 hour was spent. Try reversing that ratio.
If you are thinking about spending $100 on a gift on your mom; try spending only $20 and spend 20 hours making the gift personally you.
Guaranteed you will learn something and your mom will appreciated it vastly more than that $100 gift.
