Tips on Buying the Perfect Gift for Your Host Mother
Now that you have found your flight and packed your bags for your Spanish immersion trip, it’s time to find the perfect gift for your host mother. If you are the crafty type, you might decide to try your hand at making something special and unique. You could make her a knitted scarf or a beautifully beaded bracelet. You are only limited by your imagination.
If you aren’t the crafty type, you might consider purchasing something from your home airport. Most airports have a variety of shops that are unique to your local area. You could get her a coffee mug with the name of your home city. You couldn’t go wrong by purchasing a picture frame for your host mother. You could pose for a snapshot with her that she could keep in the frame so that she can remember her favorite student forever.
Whether your travels take you to Argentina, Chile, or Peru, you are sure to make many fond memories on your trip that you will treasure forever. Presenting your host mother with a gift upon your arrival shows her just how much you appreciate being welcomed into her home while you are studying abroad. It is a simple and gratifying way of demonstrating your eagerness to learn and will brighten your host mother’s day. Remember to always be courteous and polite and enjoy your Spanish immersion trip!
