At this point in our lives, it's about quality time together, not material things. Lunch together, either in or out, keeps the budget in line while treating my mom as the princess she is.
Don't forget HUDHomeStore - yes, you still have to bid, but you do so online and they give owner-occupants the first chances to bid. You can also get FHA financing, including repair escrows for homes that need a little work.
You can even see the house in advance! How did you fail to mention this?
You guys have no idea what hospitality is all about. My gosh, after doing all the things you suggest doing, it would be much easier and not to mention more private, if you stayed slew here or a hotel. You have guests to be good to them and give to them, not to have them bend to to your will and serve you. We should give either no expectation of anything in return. If so then it's cold like a business transaction that's paid for in gifts and service but less than a hotel. And beer certainly seems to be a priority for you. Why do assume everyone drinks it? Why not making yourself hospitable be a priority.
I always try to keep it frugal on holiday- especially mother's day! I usually make gifts using things I have around the house, or I shop sales well in advance to get the best deals on something I know mom has been wanting.
I noticed on one of the comments, someone mentioned the same thing I was going to say! I just bought a beautiful card at BJs where greeting cards are 50% off. The mother I an honoring loves receiving pretty cards.
My mom is far away and I love to send presents for every occasion. That's why I buy gifts as I find them at great prices throughout the year, keeping a couple boxes of stock gifts and special things I've purchased in advance.
Thanks very much for your sharing,in my opinion Panasonic bread maker is the best one.

Make a homemade meal and get away from the restaurant prices and crowds.

We just spend the day together, maybe go to a park if the weather is nice. Keep it simple!
