JOE

She’s the most important woman in your life, yet often she’s the last person you think of when buying the Christmas presents. Don’t panic, with the help of Littlewoods Ireland, JOE is here to help.

She’ll probably be making the dinner, the dessert and the evening turkey sandwiches, making sure the house is looking presentable and buying that last-minute present for your nephew, so the least your mother deserves is that her hard work doesn’t go unrewarded this Christmas.

Yes, it’s getting past time you had your presents sorted, but no need to panic just yet, with a few clicks of a button, you can have the shopping done and drastically reduce the chance of panic in the 48 hours before the big day. Check out the gift suggestions for your mother below and thank us later.

There was a time when your mother might need to open a manual just to send a text message, but credit to them, our folks are becoming more and more in tune with the needs of the digital age, which is why she’ll love this Samsung Galaxy Tablet 3.

All you need to know is that it’s got a big enough screen to be able to watch movies yet the device is small enough to fit in one hand, that the camera is great for still photos and videos and that there are over 600,000 apps to choose from the Android marketplace.

When handing it over, however make sure to rattle on about the 1.2 Ghz dual core processor, the 1Gb RAM and the ability to extend 8Gb of storage to 32Gb by using microSD card. As long as there are absolutely no follow up questions, it’ll make it sound even better.

If your mother likes her coffee, and we dare say she’ll be needing it over Christmas, then why not surprise her by leaving a Krups Nescafe Dolce Gusto Melody 3 Flow Stop Coffee Machine under the Christmas tree. The name is a bit of a mouthful but that’s about the only thing complicated about this coffee machine, which is stylish, compact, won’t take up too much space in the kitchen and can be bought for just a little over €100.

As long as you don’t hand over a bottle of Sex Panther – works 60% of the time, every time – then you can’t go too far wrong with a bottle of perfume, and Eternity Moment from Calvin Klein is proving a particularly popular option over on the Littlewoods website.

No point pushing the boundaries when it comes to ladies’ fashion lads, best keep it nice and simple all the way. In terms of functionality, this Adele Chunky Knit Fashion Cable scarf will keep your mother warm and she can wear it without feeling forced to because you bought it for her. Mothers do that, you know.

Finally, if you’re looking for a stocking filler for the most important woman in your life, then look no further than the Headonizm head massager.

For anyone who has used these babies before we don’t need to explain their brilliance, but for anyone who hasn’t, the things that look like spider’s legs are specifically designed to stimulate nerve endings and acupressure points on your noggin, basically giving you the ability to give yourself an Indian massage.

It works even better when someone does it for you and will be perfect for your mother to relax with in the evening if she’s the one cooking the turkey this Christmas.

Have the Perfect Christmas with Littlewoods Ireland
