    Mother’s Day is the perfect time to shower your mum with love and affection, not to mention lovely gifts and goodies! So don’t waste valuable time negotiating your way through shopping centres or department stores, when you could be covering her with kisses instead.

    PriceRunner is the only price comparison service that compares prices of products from both online and offline retailers with over 147 228 products from over 822 retailers.

    PriceRunner knows the gifts that your mum will love:

    The digital age: Long gone are the days when a tiny photo in her purse will suffice – it’s high time mum got digital! Get her a Samsung Digimax 301 digital camera for £118.96 at www.unbeatable.co.uk and remember that if you head to Argos it will cost you £134.99= a difference of £16.03.

    If bopping along to her favourite music is more up your mum’s alley, get her a Sony D-NE900 personal CD player. It’s a bargain at www.empiredirect.co.uk, costing £112.57 compared with www.comet.co.uk where you’ll have to fork out 149.95 = a difference of £37.38.

    Electric alternatives: With summer just around the corner, the Moulinex BRA14K Juicer from Miller Brothers for £34.99 will undoubtedly provide a healthy and fun alternative to the way your mum can enjoy her favourite fruit and vegetables. And it’s steal compared to www.qed-uk.com, where it costs £44.02 = a difference of £9.03.

    If caffeine is her thing, don’t spend £199.00 at John Lewis. The gorgeous Magimix 11204 coffee maker is available from Quality Electrical Direct for £177.71 – it’s sure to make her daily grind all the more pleasurable = a difference of £21.29.

    The ‘old faithfuls’: If mum’s a more traditional type of gal, choose from a selection of over 2million books, CDs, DVDs and videos.

    The classic Little Birds, by Anais Nin for £5.62 is a must read for any woman, while Paulo Coehlo’s modern day ‘meaning-of-life’ fable, The Alchemist (£5.62), both from www.amazon.co.uk, will definitely keep her enthused.

    www.splashdvd.com has Sex and the City–Series 5- Box set at £21.99, and The Commitments for £5.99, which will keep mum entertained when a ‘night-in’ is the order of the day. Don’t buy online at www.pricestorm.com where the same products are £25.99 and £14.99 respectively = a difference of £4.00 and £9.00.

    The Doors Box Set, Pt. 1 at £9.99 will light your mum’s youthful fire and get her rockin’ to some old classics. The Soul Sessions, by Joss Stone for £8.49 will give her a taste of the sounds of now.
