Do you know what you're getting your mother for the holidays? It's one of the most important gifts you'll give so make sure you get a good one.

The Best Gifts for All Kinds of Moms

Moms love anything we give them. But they deserve so much more, don't they? Plus they're hard to nail down because they're each unique multi-faceted women. Of course, we know they'd appreciate a few more phone calls and visits. But instead of thinking of her as the mom to whom you owe a phone call, think of her interests when buying a gift. Is she the type of woman who appreciates the indulgence of a designer throw blanket or cashmere cardigan? Is she the active type who's always on the move? Does she love staying in with a good movie or a cup of tea? Does she adore (yet never treats herself to) luxe beauty products? The key is to think of the way she lives and then find something slightly extravagant that's guaranteed to make her smile.

You can never go wrong with a cozy cashmere piece.
