Christmas is coming and I hadn’t  bought anything for my mom! I called my cousin Lilian to see if she would help me find a great Christmas present. She agreed and she picked me up two hours later and we went to the mall. When we got there we sat down, she asked me what my mom likes. It was a total silence for a couple minutes. I don’t know what my mom likes! Everything I like she doesn’t like, and everything she likes I don’t like. This is gonna be harder than I thought.
“What do you like?” I said.
“This isn’t about me its about your mom.” Lilian said.
“Well she doesn’t like sports, shes not a big reader, or doesn’t like shoes, well tennis shoes. Oh...she loves clothes but everything I get her she doesn’t like or pretends she likes but never wears them.”
“Ok why don’t we look at the clothes and ill help you find something.” Lilian replied.
When we started looking and I didn’t like anything for my mom. I’m not a clothes person, i’m a more shoe type a person. So we decided not to look for clothes.
“Does she like shoes?’’ LIlian asked.
“I guess but I don’t know what shoe size she is!” Is it weird if I don’t know what my mom likes?
“Does she like make up?”
“She loves make up, but she has a lot already. She has a closet full of make up. I don’t think she needs more!” I said.
So we sat down to think what else she would like. Why is it that I can buy anybody else presents easily but not my mom.
“I know, perfume! Everyone likes perfume right? Its a nice gift to people.” I shouted.
My cousin agreed, so we went to abercrombie and fitch because they has the best perfumes, they smell really good. We got one that smelled really good. I even bought one for myself. When I got home I wrapped the gift and hid it at the top of my shelf where it has junk and my mom never goes through there. On Christmas Eve I put the gift under our tree so the next day we can all open our gifts.
It was about 8:30 in the morning and everybody went downstair to open their presents. We all got our presents and there was one present left and it was for my mom. My heart pounded really fast because I didn’t know if she would like it. She opened it and smelled the perfume
“I wanted this perfume for a long time! Thank you!”
I finally gave her something that she liked i’m so happy. I’m not gonna get her perfume every year but I know that I can get her something different gift every year. Maybe I need to spend more time with my mom so then I know what she likes. I really like that idea!
“Hey mom, do you want to go out for dinner tomorrow since dad and my brothers are gonna have a  boys night out?”
My moms face had a smile and looked pleased.
“I would like that!” mom cried out.
