Mother's Day is such a hard holiday to shop for because it's a way to treat your mom for all the things she does for you but nothing ever feels quite good enough (especially on a budget).

Though these gifts can't make up for everything our moms do year-round, they are still thoughtful options when you're on a budget.

1. Flowers

Flowers are a classic for any holiday but put a personal twist on it by buying a potted flower or plant that your mom can continue to grow year-round.

2. Edible Arrangement

Yes, these are just fruit arrangements that disappear quickly but there is something so luxurious-feeling about eating fruit that is arranged in a bouquet.

3. Pedicure

This is something you can get your mom or take her yourself but either way, it says that she deserves a little pampering.

4. Massage

Speaking of pampering, if your mom is stressed and could some ultimate relaxation a massage is a nice treat for her.

5. Makeup or Perfume

No one NEEDS perfume or makeup but that is part of what makes it so exciting. It’s a nice way to make your mom feel beautiful.

6. Candles

Candles can be burned year-round and every time she lights it she will think of you.

7. Movie Tickets

These can be to an early screening or just to a movie she wants to see. Whether she takes a friend or you go with, it’s a fun night out that she probably doesn’t get enough.

8. Gift Card

Now a gift card can seem like a generic gift but if you know a specific place your mom likes to shop it can be a good way to make sure she actually spends some money on herself and gets exactly what she wants.

9. Dinner together

Sometimes all a mom wants is some quality one-on-one time with her kid so why not treat her to a dinner where she can spend time with you.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
