5 love languages gift guide

Step one: Get the person you’re getting a gift for to take the 5 Love Languages Quiz. Frame it as a “Omg! Found this today, I’m curious to see what you’d get.” or a “Ooooh let’s take this together, I love quizzes.”

So for the first time ever I’m attending the Her Campus Her Conference and I’m hyped.I love events in the city and I especially love them if they’re relevant to me. This is totally relevant.

This event is a two-day event full of keynote speakers, panels, workshops, contests and giveaways. Basically it sounds like a fun business carnival and classroom complete with goodies and other girls with similar interests. I’m also extra extra extra excited because I was chosen as an IHC x Her Campus Her Conference correspondent to help cover the event!
