15 Mother's Day Gift Ideas

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
