Christmas is the time to celebrate and the perfect time to recognize mom and show your appreciation for everything she does for you through out the year.
Whether you have a special family tradition for celebrating Christmas or choose a different ways of celebration each year, this truly is the most popular time of the year to show your appreciation for her.
Just as mom as made Christmas a special time for you, she too will appreciate having a special Christmas gift from you.
It is especially hard to find the perfect gift that she will appreciate and love using for the rest of the year, what you do not want is something that will end up in the closet for the year or worst yet in the yearly yard sale.
Hence some suggestions and tips that should make your shopping easier and help you find the most magical gift for her:

• Jewelry- always a great choice- I always enjoy earnings: hoops, dangly objects, and of course diamonds-a girl's best friend! You can never have enough earnings, because it never fails that you lost one or broke one.
  A matching necklace is always a welcome addition too!
• Flowers- order her favorite flowers and have them sent to her place of work/home several days before Christmas are one of the purest ways of expressing your appreciation for her.
  Send a personal handwritten note expressing your love and gratitude for her.
  
• Gift Basket-custom make your own gift basket with some of her favorite things: special chocolates, coffees, teas, spa items or crafts.
  The possibilities are endless.
  Not creative? There are numerous places that will customize a gift basket for you.
  
• Gift Certificate-if your mother is really hard to shop for I would suggest a gift certificate or two to her favorite retailer, or surprise her with certificate to the local spa for a relaxing massage.
  
• Hobbies- If your mom has a favorite hobby buying a gift that adds to her equipment or supplies is always welcome.
  For those who are collectors I would suggest adding a piece to their collection.
  
• Clothing- Shopping for clothes for your mother is difficulty for several reasons: you will need to know her likes/dislikes, size, and color preferences.
  This is probably one of the most returned items after Christmas, unless mom ask for a particular item of clothing I would not suggest buying anything is this area.
  

With some careful thought and effort you will be able to make mom's Christmas gift Magical this year.
Whether you shop online or visit the mall, shopping early will ensure you the best selection and the least stress.
