Coming off the back of a recession, many people could be forgiven for overlooking or ignoring certain special occasions such as Valentines Day, Fathers Day and even Mothers Day. As bank accounts dried up quickly in 2009 and credit became more difficult to obtain – and not forgetting the high unemployment rate – it is now imperative that people spend their cash wisely. Unfortunately, this means that occasions other than Christmas and birthdays are likely to be neglected somewhat in 2010. However, whilst the careful management of finances is a practice that most people ought to adopt, certain special occasions should never be overlooked; indeed, Mothers Day is arguably one of the most important days of the year, as it offers children, both young and grown up, the chance to celebrate a mother's love whilst giving thanks for all her hard work. Having said that, there is no stipulation that Mothers Day Presents must be expensive.

Cost effective Mothers Day presents (avoid use of the term 'cheap' as this would imply a lack of quality) are surprisingly easy to purchase and many offer superb value for money. Of course, choosing cost effective Mothers Day presents is not a task that should be undertaken lightly – just because a particular gift may not be expensive does not mean that little thought can be put into choosing it. In other words, choosing Mothers Day presents that are unlikely to severely impact on the bank balance must be weighed against the need to search for gifts that are nonetheless worthy of a mother's acceptance. Purchasing any old item for a mother on her official day of celebration shows a distinct lack of imagination, respect and perhaps even love. Therefore, avoid making the mistake of buying mundane and cheap Mothers Day presents and instead focus on the search for cost effective items that are guaranteed to impress.

At this point it is worth noting that chocolates, flowers and wine still constitute perfectly acceptable Mothers Day presents; in fact, the gifts remain traditional favourites amongst mums everywhere, so there is no need to avoid such items in fear of appearing unimaginative (even if this may be case). Perhaps the best place to start when choosing cost effective Mothers Day Presents that will almost certainly make mums proud is the humble card. Children and teenagers will, in most cases, be able to make their own Mother's Day cards from scratch. Such cards will normally feature a collage of interesting and curious items, amusing pictures, heartfelt messages or just scribbles in the case of especially young children. Most handmade Mother's Day cards are accepted with love, so this is not usually an area of concern; however, older children (as in anybody aged 15 years and over) ought to purchase a suitable Mothers Day card rather than make one. In this case, personalised Mothers Day cards are usually the best way to go as they still feature warm and heartfelt messages but can also be quite amusing.

If flowers and chocolates can be easily purchased online or at the local convenience store for little expense, it is advisable to select the alcohol elsewhere (obviously children will require the assistance of a grown-up helper when buying alcohol). Rather than have dad pop down the local off-licence or supermarket in search of a cheap bottle of wine, a personalised bottle of luxury Champagne can be ordered online that features the mother's name on the label (she will almost certainly appreciate this). Personalised Champagne gifts may include glasses but, if they do not, these can also be purchased online; indeed, there are numerous types of engraved crystal glasses available that are designed specifically for drinking Champagne in style. Should the mother in question be off the booze for one reason or another, personalised deluxe chocolates offer a suitable alternative.

Personalised mum calendars also constitute excellent Mothers Day presents that can be purchased at little cost, whilst a 'Dear Mum' diary is likely to press all the right buttons emotionally. In fact, the Dear Mum diary is a perfect Mother's Day gift as it enables children to build more lasting bonds with their mothers by providing an assortment of personal questions that mums must duly answer (in written form). This diary can be cherished for many years by both mothers and their children. Other top Mothers Day Presents include a Wonder Woman Bath Robe, Naughty but Nice Lip Gloss and Yummy Mummy Mini Token, which is a superb glass paperweight that simply reads "yummy mummy" alongside several love heart graphics. Those people who think that their mothers would prefer more amusing gifts may wish to consider the Sun Jar, which is essentially a jam jar that contains a glowing portion of sunlight – well, light that is acquired from the sun via solar cells. Whatever gifts are chosen, it is important that mums are celebrated on their special day.
