What Christmas gift should I get for my mother?
She's in her late 50s, loves wine, spending time with her friends and fashion. Can anyone direct me to an item in a shop that I can pick up today or tomorrow? It's cold and sleeting. I'd like to not have to scour downtown or be stuck in the mall for too long if I don't have to. There's significant wiggle room in the price range.

Since she likes fashion... what about a simple cashmere sweater or just a winter cashmere scarf? I think I saw a Lands End catalog that had some simple scarfs for around $75. If there's an L.L. Bean outlet near you, you could just pop in. I am seeing cashmere items at most department stores. From JC Penny to Old Navy. So, it depends on what is close by. Most fashionable women just LOVE Ann Taylor Loft and they are known to have nice cashmere items. I wish I knew what was close to you, so I could really help you out. Check these links to see what's near you.

I have a great stocking stuffer idea if you live near a Whole Foods. At least the chain in Colorado had displays of Demeter fragrances. They have some really outrageous scents like dirt (it really smells like dirt... in a good way!). I have purchased a few and love to smell the odd ones. They have a scent called Snow and I'll bet that it really smells like the real deal. Here's is their website: http://www.demeterfragrance.com/
I love the cocktail perfumes and actually have the scent Sex on the Beach. It's awesome. The Gin and Tonic smells wonderful too. Check and see if your Whole Foods carries these items. They'd be a blast!

As for wine? What about a gift card to V.Sattui Winery in Napa Valley? This is a special place. They don't distribute their wine. You either go to the source or order it through their store. Their wine tasting taught me so much, but the most important thing I learned is that you can have a wonderful wine for a decent price at this place. Sure they have expensive award winning wines, but they also have wine for $20 and under that tastes like a million bucks!
I know it's too late to probably get a physical gift card from them, but maybe you can set something up with the store? Give them call 800-799-2337. Maybe they can send your mom a special email?
Here's the gift card page: http://tinyurl.com/2avd348
Here is the main page of their outstanding website: http://www.vsattui.com/index.cfm
If you Mom ends up loving the wine, I'm sure she'll want to eventually visit them in person. Maybe you could pick up a simple wine opener, a set of wine charms, or a wine related small item and attach a homemade gift card for V. Sattui.
I hope I could help with any last minute ideas. Have a blast up in the cold and snow!
Remember: Give a call first to places before you head out to make sure they have what you're looking for in stock. It will save you hours of time and tons of gas. Good luck!

M$I reccomend that you buy Sake for your mother.  It is a fermented rice wine.
Sake in Japan has long been thought to be an ingredient for a healthy lifestyle. As a key element for enjoying food, conversation and atmosphere, sake has traditionally enjoyed a special place at the Japanese table. Like nutrition or a good laugh, sake, when enjoyed in an appropriate amount, was believed to maintain health and promote well-being.
Modern studies now show that in appropriate amounts, sake can have positive effects on improving cholesterol levels, blood pressure and memory. Furthermore, sake contains amino acids and peptides which can improve skin.

M$If you do know the brand, it is nice to buy the matching soap, lotion and toilet water in the same scent - something your mom may not do for herself and would appreciate if the stuff matched what she already wears.

M$This place is in Wisconsin and I am sure you could have them email you the certificate and you could pass it on to her.
My dad went to one in California (company trip he won) and he said he LOVED it.
