15 Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Don't forget to spoil your mom this weekend

Reminder: Mother’s Day is this Sunday! So, everyone make sure to go get your mother a present and to remind her how much you love her! Here are a couple gift ideas for those of you who have procrastinated on shopping for your mom.

1. Wine

The number one thing that helps every mother deal with their child.

2. Pajamas

I am not sure why moms like PJs so much, but every year my brothers and I get my mom a cute, patterned pajama set and she loves them.

3. Coupon books

Help your mother save the money that she is probably going to end up spending on you anyways!

4. Flowers

Every girl loves flowers. End of story.

5. Jewelry

Even cheap, signature jewelry pieces are a great gift. A necklace or big earrings always spice up an outfit.

6. Coffee cups

I am all about the personalized coffee cups. If you use Shutterfly or go to Walgreen's, nothing screams “I love you” like a coffee cup with your face on it.

7. Athletic wear

Moms always love to wear athletic gear. My mom is super into tennis, so my brothers and I always get her a new tennis skirt.

8. Home cooked meal

My mother hates cooking, so if I volunteered to cook, I think she would feel like she died and went to heaven. However, make sure that you clean up afterwards!

9. Perfume

Keep mama smelling fine.

10. One day of mother’s choice activities

Whether its taking the dogs for a walk or going on a picnic or bike ride, let your mother choose something to do for the day and keep her company! (Mom - this does not mean I am doing the 17 mile bike ride with you though. I love you, but there is no way I am biking 17 miles… ever.)

11. Chocolate

I most definitely recommend See’s Candies.

12. Pictures

Again, remind your mother of how much you love her by giving her a picture of your face.

13. Books

Moms love reading those Nicholas Sparks books.

14. Candles

I don’t think I have ever bought my mom a candle, but apparently my roommate’s mother loves them.

15. Bath and body products

I’ve never heard of a mom that doesn't love all those bath suds and smelly lotions.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
