Mother's Day and Father's Day Budgets for Gifts

Hi saverdeals both my mum and dad passed away. But i would spend around £50.00 on each of them. It would be a less I could do after all what they did for me.

As I said in another thread about mother's day, I would be happy with a visit and a bunch of flowers from my family, there is no need for a gift as that is not what mother's day is all about. It was originally a spring holiday for servants to travel home and visit their mothers. Showing you care is not about the value of a gift and no mother would ever judge based on that.

I normally get my mum a card and a cinema voucher, so around £20.

I get my dad a card and a voucher for the golf store or tickets for his football team, so again around £20.

If I am able to see them around the day then I take them for lunch.

i am on tight benifits and usually buy flowers around 5 pound
