I assume that you would like to keep things as cheap as possible, therefore I give a few easy recipes with ingredients you should already have in the house. You might have to buy a tiny bottle of essential oil and/or food coloring.
Vanilla essence will produce a very nice smell and also a soft caramel shade. Most women and men love the sweet smell of vanilla.
Use the same essential oil and food coloring in everything so that all the fragrances will work together and everything will match in color also.
Bath Salts:
Buy coarse salt you use in the dishwasher, add just a FEW DROPS food coloring and some essential oil like rose, lavender, grapefruit or whatever you think you mom will like. Throw it into a nice glass jar.
Thick Body Lotion:
Buy a tub of Aqueous cream, add some vegetable or technical oil and some of the same essential oil you used for the bath salts. Decant it into a nice wide mouthed glass jar.
Body Scrub:
Mix equal amounts of white sugar and any vegetable oil (olive, sunflower, almond, grape etc) in a wide mouthed jar. Color with food coloring and add essential oil for fragrance.
Bath Oil:
Pour technical oil in a nice tall glass bottle, color with vegetable coloring and add essential oil for fragrance.
Add organza ribbons to the jars and bottles to match the food color you used. Arrange everything in a box/basket/tray/etc and cover with cellophane in a matching color. Add a flower or ribbon and a nice hand written card.
Mom will love it (and you too) and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. Enjoy yourself while making it.
Body oil is also nice. And making your own candles is a lot of fun. Here's some easy recipes for bath and body oils... http://www.easy-aromatherapy-recipes.com/aromatherapy-bath-oil.html
Bath salts! They smell great and quite easy to make. If you're going to give it to your mum, make sure you spend time on packaging the salts too. Recipes http://www.sfbsc.com/bath_salt_recipes
