Gift Dilemmas Solved!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Trinity chapter.

It’s the most wonderful time of year! But that also means it’s time to decide what to get all of the special people in your life. I try to get my shopping done early, but there is always that one gift that has you stumped. Hope these suggestions save you from your gifting time crunch!
What to get your:         

Mom
Moms love to get gifts that are heartfelt more than anything. I know we aren’t in 3rd grade and won’t be bringing home a painting we did in art class. Get her something that you know she will love, but that she’ll know you put at least a little bit of thought into.
