15 Gifts For Mom For Mother's Day
midtownmiamimagazine.com

Mother's Day is on Sunday. As a daughter or a son, we should show our moms how much we appreciate them. Sometimes, we do forget until the last minute to get a gift. Life gets in the way so here are some great ideas to get your mom for Mother's Day, especially if it ends up being last minute.

1. Dunkin/Starbucks Gift Card

If she never stops to get coffee in the morning or stops all the time, this saves the family some money and she gets her favorite coffee, at least for a few days.

2. Flowers

This may be a cliche gift but she will always love some flowers. It just shows her how much you appreciate her.

3. Yankee Candle

Who doesn't love candles? Make sure it is in her favorite scent though.

4. Book by favorite author

She probably does not get time to read a book so getting her one (especially close to vacation season) so she has a reason to.

5. Handmade card/gift

If moms love anything, they are things that are handmade by her favorite people on Earth that she can cherish.

6. Spa Day

For daughters, take her with you for a mani-pedi day. For a son, give her a gift certificate to a local spa or salon for her to take care of herself.

7. Jewelry

Get something nice but not super expensive. As long as it ifs from you, she will cherish it forever.

8. Movie Night

Get her a gift certificate to the movies to have her go see her favorite new movie coming out.

9. Date Night/Night Out

Every mother deserves a night with her favorite people that she never gets to spend time with. Get her a gift card to her favorite restaurant or bar and let her have a night out on you!

10. Framed Picture/Photo Shoot

Every mother loves pictures of her family and the ones she loves. Set up a photo shoot for yourself and the others in the family and get your favorite picture framed for her.

11. Store Gift Card

Maybe she has had an eye on a new outfit for work or everyday. Get her a gift card to a store she likes for her to treat herself.

12. Something she has her eyes on

Maybe last time you were at a store, she saw a new lamp for the house or something to replace what needs to be. Get it for her as a surprise!

13. Make her breakfast/lunch/dinner

I know that this is probably a cliche one that everyone does, but I can tell you she will really appreciate staying in bed and not making breakfast or not worrying about lunch or dinner.

14. Let her choose what to do

If there is something she wants to do for the day, like me and my family go to the greenhouse to get her plants, let her do it! It is her day.

15. Make the day about her!

Anything you do, make it about your mom.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
