I don't know what to get for my mom and I think some input might get me pointed in the right direction. She's always the hardest person to shop for.

so... what did you get your mom for Christmas?

- coffee maker
- rainboots (b/c we couldn't find any this past summer when it was raining all the time at our beach place)
- 3 pairs of "slipper socks". They're really soft & nice to get as an extra/side gift.

I may also get her the 1st season of Lost so HockeyRoman can get his copy back.

Good luck.
