Breakfast in bed: Fresh pastries, Mum's favourite coffee, fresh fruit, and orange juice. Add a hand-picked flower and a handwritten card.
Photo collage: Print 9–12 shared photos and stick them on a nice card. Write a short memory or "thank you for…" beside each one. Materials: under £5.
Coupon book: Fold a small booklet and fill it with personal coupons: "1× dinner cooked for you", "1× garden watering", "1× film of your choice". Means more than any purchase.
The Most Important Ingredient: Attention
The most valuable last-minute gift costs nothing: take over all tasks for a day. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping — everything. Mum does nothing today.
Combine it with a simple "Mum, I just wanted to say thank you." Sometimes the simplest words mean the most.
