Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Dear mom, Thank you for teaching me how to be beautiful inside and out and giving me the inspiration and passion to follow my dreams. You’re my best friend and hope these next years to come are filled with joy and love Photo Credit: Grace Toups/AchonaOnline

Mark the calendar, Mother’s Day is approaching on Sunday May 8.  This is a day all about moms, spending time giving back all of the wonderful gifts they bring to life (and not asking what’s for dinner).  The hardest part of it all is how to find a material gift.  Mothers are infamous for always saying, “I don’t want anything, you’re already my gift.” This is mom language for, “Good luck, figure it out.” Below is a gift guide perfect for all price ranges for high school students.

Homemade card and breakfast in bed- Free

Surprise mom in the morning and make sure she doesn’t have to cook at all that day.  This is a perfect way to start out her day and all moms love the little homemade cards you’ve been making since you were five.

No matter what, moms will always be appreciative of every little thought and action put into their day.  Adding personal touches will make any mom smile whether it be a macaroni bracelet or the Empire State Building.  It’s sometimes so hard when you want to give your mom the world, but can only afford a bath bomb.
