Buying presents is never easy. The main goal, of course, is to make the gift recipient happy. Too often you give someone something only to see that forced smile and hear them emit that oh-so-fake “Thanks! I loooove it!”
For my mom’s birthday I decided to skip all the stress and give her a hands-down, slam-dunk winner of a present. My mom is a super hard working R.N. and is going back to college to finish up her Bachelor’s degree. (Ironic that my mom is a college student now right? I hope she reads Her Campus!). I’m super proud of her and wanted to get her a present that would show her how supportive I am of her decision to go back to school.
I decided that a laptop would do the trick. I found myself googling “Good Laptops for Moms,” “Best Laptops for Women with 4 Children,” “Good Laptops for Adult Students” and other such nonsense.
Through Her Campus I was introduced to the HP Pavillion dm1z with AMD Processor (try saying that three times fast). Not only is the laptop bright red (score!), it’s less than 1 inch thick and is super powerful. It sports a AMD processor which basically means that it’s super fast and will help my mom rock her classes this spring. To top it all off, it retails for <$450.
When she opened it up she was speechless. She actually started crying and almost dropped the computer on the floor when she jumped up to hug me. Best. Reaction. Ever.
She’s now chugging away at her classes and absolutely loving the computer. She takes it everywhere with her in her cute Vera Bradley tote.
Thanks HP & AMD for helping me outfit my mom with the perfect present.
