How to Choose a Christmas Gift for Mom

  • Look at what she wears. Gold or silver jewelry? A worn-out bag? Those are your clues.
  • Choose comfort and ease. Easy clasps, clear watch dials and light bags matter more than trends.
  • Go for daily use. A watch or bag reminds her of you every day.
  • Add something personal. A note, a photo or a memory makes any gift special.
