Being a student doesn’t mean you have to skip out on showing love for Mom. This Mother’s Day, you can still surprise her with something thoughtful and meaningful—without maxing out your budget. We’ve pulled together a few affordable ideas, plus exclusive perks you get just for being a resident at Laurent!
1. Sweet Treats for a Sweet Mom
Take Mom out for a stroll and stop for ice cream at Annie Rue Ice Cream, where Laurent residents get 5% off scoops. It’s a cute and casual way to spend time together—and who doesn’t love ice cream?
2. Something Stylish from Bamboo Ballroom
Want to gift her something she can wear or use? Check out Bamboo Ballroom for unique clothing, accessories, and locally curated goods. Laurent residents can get up to 10% off, making it a great spot to find a quality gift that feels special without overspending.
3. Cook Her a Budget-Friendly Brunch
Skip the pricey restaurant and cook her brunch at home. Think: eggs, toast, fruit, and a splash of orange juice. Set the table, put on some music, and show her you put thought and effort into it—she’ll love it.
4. Write Her a Heartfelt Letter
Sometimes, the most meaningful gifts are the ones from the heart. Write your mom a letter telling her what she means to you, sharing a favorite memory, or thanking her for something she’s done. It’s free, but it’ll probably mean more to her than anything you could buy.
