An Air of Surprise 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

Last year's gift guide series was such a big hit that I decided to do another one! Yay!!

Since I'm now a poor and pitiful college student, I decided to pick gifts that universally affordable. Most guides, however, will feature a few big ticket items for those who want to splurge just little.

Everyone ready? Let's get started! I'll do about one post per day.

First up, gifts for our lovely mommas!

P.S. Here is last year's gift guide if you want some more ideas!
