Our moms do everything for us all year round - from answering every panicked phone call about which laundry detergent to buy to being our shoulder to cry on when we need it most, moms truly never stop giving. In a year where there was a not-so-pleasant surprise around every corner, I think a lot of us can agree that our moms were a great support through it all.

And now, it's finally the time of year where we can give back to our moms who give us everything 365 days a year. As a college student, money can be pretty tight for a lot of us, though. So I compiled the ultimate gift guide so you don't have to spend hours trudging through the mall looking for a nice and affordable gift! There's no doubt something on this list for every mom out there - the fitness guru, the fashionista, the accessories lover, the chef, and all the other amazing moms who deserve a little extra love this Christmas.

In the four Christmas' that I have spent with my boyfriend, I have realized one thing: boys are hard to shop for. Each year I have to rack my brain for gift ideas because when I ask my boyfriend what he wants for Christmas, he always says something along the lines of "nothing," which as a girl is hard to fathom since I literally give him a list each year before Black Friday.

Due to increased social distancing and isolation orders from the government amid the global pandemic, it's been tough to find things to do around the house to occupy my time. Admittedly, I'm an extrovert so nothing about being stuck in the house seems like an ideal situation for me.

However, vibrators can be the perfect company to keep so much to the point where I've joked around and said: "an orgasm a day keeps the virus away," which may have a bit of truth to it considering masturbation helps the immune system and fights off infection.
