When you're shopping for a Christmas gift for mom it's hard to think of things that she will enjoy and use. If you have the resources you could get her an e-reader such as a Nook or Kindle. This will allow her to have books to read wherever she is. In a different vein, most mothers need baking dishes. However, if you want to add a little something extra you could get her last name engraved in the glass. These can be custom ordered on sites such as etsy.com or you can try it yourself using a dremel tool and engraving cream found at a local craft store. This can be a nice gift as it will ensure that anyone who borrows the dish will remember who to return it to.
