Buying a Christmas present for your mother is one of the most difficult Christmas present purchases you can make.
You need a gift that not only has to be fun and desirable - just like any present should be - but that also expresses your affection for your mother; you can't just buy her any old thing! You can waste a lot of time dragging yourself around shops in a bid to find your mother the perfect gift and often end up not finding her anything at all or having to settle for something you don't particularly like.
It's definitely worth exploring the internet for something because there's a huge variety of often more individual gifts out there and, with it all on your computer, it's much quicker and, if you're suffering a cold winter, much warmer! Before, starting, it's worth thinking about just what kind of gift you want to buy your mother.
How expensive should it be? How big should it be? One interesting way of giving your mother a present is to buy her lots of little things and pack them all together in a big box - this way she gets not just one surprise, but a whole load of them, like being visited by Santa Claus! Here are a number of different ideas for things you could buy your mother this Christmas 1.
Something luxurious Every mother likes to feel a bit pampered from time to time.
Bath products are perfect if you want some luxury.
You don't always have to go for the obvious and buy your mother soaps and shampoos.
You could try something like a set of floating lights - perfect for turning an ordinary bath into a super special spa, a stylish rubber duck (everyone loves a rubber duck!) or any other luxurious bath accessory.
If none of these appeal, you could go for something super-luxurious like a spa retreat or a massage! 2.
Something funny Just because she's your mother it doesn't mean she doesn't have a sense of humour! There's a huge range of comedy gifts out there, from stress balls to games, to wind up toys.
A gag gift is even better if you can somehow relate it to your mother.
If she's getting old, you could get her a grandmother gift, if she likes to dance, then you could get her a gag gift based around dancing.
The possibilities for these kinds of presents are limitless, but just remember to always keep it funny and always bear in mind that you're buying a present for your mother - so don't get something too extreme! 3.
It's the thought that counts If you can't find the perfect gift for your mother in a store - or even on the internet - you could make her a present.
One of the best ways of doing this is with food.
Either you could make her a collection of foods - like jams or chutneys or pickles - or you could cook her a spectacular meal.
Sometimes these are the best presents of all.
