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

A few years ago, we bought my Mum a hoover for Mother’s Day and she cried. She wanted to know why we only valued her for her housework abilities. Ever since, cleaning appliances as presents have been avoided and much more thought has gone into presents. To save you from following in my footsteps, learning the hard way by ruining your Mum’s day, I’ve found the best presents for every type of mum and for a range of budgets. Just remember, no hoovers.
