<p style="text-align: justify;">Papa, Daddy, Dada, Dad&#8230;he&#8217;s that one special man in your live that their sons look up to and their daughter&#8217;s first loves. This Sunday is Father&#8217;s Day so let&#8217;s show that Superhero in your life just how much you love him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is only too easy to buy Dad an expensive gift or take him out for an expensive meal in a nice restaurant. But if you are feeling a little poor at the end of the month, do remember that some of the best things in life are free so read on below for tips on how you can celebrate Father&#8217;s Day for free or almost-free!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-539"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Make Daddy A Hand-Made Father&#8217;s Day Card</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A DIY Father&#8217;s Day card may not look as beautiful as the glossy cards you buy. However, as simple as it looks or unpoetic the words may be, the effort you  have taken and the heartfelt words it contains makes it a unique Father&#8217;s Day card that will definitely touch his heart!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3093/2507547499_d7443496f6.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/just_maria/" target="_blank">Credits</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Spend Time With Dad</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Time spent together costs you nothing but means so much more than anything money can buy. This Father&#8217;s Day, clear your busy calendars and take the time to know this man who works hard to give you the things you want and loves you enough to sacrifice anything in the world. Regardless of how old you already are or whether you are married with families of your own, you will always be your Daddy&#8217;s Little Girl or Daddy&#8217;s Boy and he will certainly enjoy this quality time with you.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2464/3634218789_26739e0b8b_o.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.theholidayspot.com/fathersday/" target="_blank">Credits</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Enjoy Dad&#8217;s Favourite Hobbies</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your dad may be a golf junkie whilst you simply can&#8217;t understand the game! Or he may love a quiet afternoon with a good book while you prefer the excitement of shopping malls. Whatever your dad&#8217;s hobbies are, join him and try your hand at them. It is a great way for you to bond with him and who knows, you might find yourself loving it too!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3080/3635043804_4b8995c67b.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Tell Dad You Love Him</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is sometimes hard to tell Dad you love him especially if he is a stern dad or if he has let you down in some way. But hugs, kisses and &#8220;I Love Yous&#8221; are the cheapest and most effective way to let someone know you love them and are constantly thinking of them. So this Father&#8217;s Day, hug your Dad and tell him how much he means to you. It will absolutely make his day!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="reflect aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3357/3635043818_e452c85b1c.jpg?v=0" alt="fathers-day-global by you." width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Father&#8217;s Day is just one day in a year but that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t do all these great things with him any other time of the year. It costs you hardly anything but is priceless in cementing the bond and love between father and child.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Happy Father&#8217;s Day to all daddies out there! <img src='http://mysmartmoneytips.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>

<p>Mother&#8217;s Day is this coming Sunday!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you want to get this special woman in your life a unique gift but your pockets are feeling a little empty and payday is still too far? Don&#8217;t fret as there are lots of great tips here for you to celebrate this special day with your Mom for free (or almost free!).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-487"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gift Of Time</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mothers are amazingly unselfish people who will often sacrifice anything for their children. This Mother&#8217;s Day, do away with commercialism and spend your time with her instead. Take her out for just a mother-child outing or take her to her favourite restaurant and spend time getting to know your mom all over again. The time you spent with her will be more valuable than any gift money could buy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2221/2089045137_6660129bd9.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/21572821@N03/" target="_blank">Credits</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Baked With Love</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you can bake, why not make her some delicious cupcakes or a little cake to celebrate? It will definitely be more difficult than running out and getting one from the store but the time and effort you have invested in the cake will make it all the more delicious and healthier!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> <img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3421/3400587595_053f0d1d1f.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Create Delicious Memories</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For most, their mother&#8217;s cooking is the best food in the world that no Michelin star chef can compare to! Turn it around this Mother&#8217;s Day and create delicious memories by cooking her a special breakfast or dinner of her favourites. It is a cheaper alternative than eating out in restaurants who have raised their prices for this day and a lot more meaningful!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3640/3421518689_080010d5f8.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/slickmeister/" target="_blank">Credits</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Relive Happy Memories</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you have your childhood and family photos everywhere? Or perhaps your mom has some old photos of her childhood that she just hasn&#8217;t had time to organize? Create a scrapbook of memories for her with these photos as a wonderful Mother&#8217;s Day present and it will definitely be one she will treasure for many years to come.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/7320400@N04/" target="_blank">Credits</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hugs &amp; Kisses</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hugs and kisses are absolutely free and it is sometimes all moms want from their children. So give her a great big hug and tell her how much you love her, not just this Sunday but every other day!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">With these great saving tips, enjoy your Mother&#8217;s Day with your mom and give her the best thing money can never buy &#8211; your love, time and attention. She will appreciate you for that!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Happy Mother&#8217;s Day!</span></strong></p>
