College Candy

Holiday shopping for your mom is never easy. I mean, you’ve known her all your life, so surprising her every year is not exactly simple. Plus, the older you get, the less acceptable it is to make something kinda shoddy and offer it up. Badly painted dried spaghetti necklaces don’t fly anymore.

So how can you give your momma want she really wants this season? Stay away from vacuum cleaners and anti-aging creams, and start your search with these ideas!

• Cashmere Robe ($295) – everyone knows cashmere is the best thing ever, and being able to snuggle into a robe made completely of the stuff after a nice shower? Totally worth it for a woman who went into labor for you.

• Kiehl’s Treatment Cream ($22.50) – around New York City, Kiehl’s is the sh*t. Top of the line and mixed with their own personal brand of ingredients, Kiehl’s products are a must for the classy woman. And really, who’s classier than your mom?

• Indoor Greenhouse ($179.95) – a high-tech indoor greenhouse is the perfect gift for a momma who’s green thumb isn’t as green as she’d like it to be. Most of these babies do all the work themselves, as she has to do is take credit for it!

• Origins Bubble Bath ($25) – who can say no to high-quality bubble bath?

• Martini Glasses ($19.99) – I’m not saying you drove your mom to drinking, but just in case you did…here’s a way to thank her for not giving you away during those teenage years.

• Totally Awesome Slippers ($39.99) – These ain’t no namby-pamby slippers, these are real sheepskin and leather. Her feet deserve a rest after all those years spent running after you.

• Ghirardelli Chocolate Box ($24.99) – Ghirardelli is the best tasting chocolate your mom has ever tried. For an extra special gift, include a signed agreement that you won’t eat any of it.
