Get your mother the perfect gift for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is not just another “Hallmark” holiday that exists as an excuse to buy gifts, but a day to celebrate the women who love, encourage and inspire us everyday. Treat your mother to the perfect Mother’s day gift, which could range from breakfast in bed to a colorful bouquet of flowers. Here is a list of things that every mom will love on the holiday just for her!

Cassie Shaurette, senior, explained why Mother’s Day is so important.

“I love Mother’s Day because I think it’s so important to take a day to appreciate all that our moms do for us. My mom is the glue for our family, holding us all together and keeping the peace,” Shaurette stated. “I always get my mom flowers and a card for Mother’s Day; I get her flowers because she loves the smell and prettiness of flowers, and I get her a card so that I can write something personal and show how much I appreciate her.”

If she loves to cook, having her eat or read these thoughtful yet super affordable gifts will make you your mom’s favorite on Mother’s Day. Eliza Imbrie, sophomore, said, “It’s always good to find a gift that comes from the heart and that you know your mother would really appreciate.”
