Default Christmas Present?

SDDeps Mum is coming out for Christmas, yes I am too old to have a christmas list that goes beyond a chocolate orange and 10p taped to the inside of a card.

Usually, if she insists, gift cards to Trader Joes and World Market are very welcome.

This time I am required to look at M&S online for a cardigan or something, thats not really working out.

Good (clean) ideas to give Mum that she can bring from the UK? the fact that her being here is all the present I need, not withstanding.

All input appreciated so I can stop burning countless hours searching M&S, even if I do enjoy it.

Superdry or bench clothing - can't get it out here, if you like that sort of thing.

L5 gadget to turn iphone/pod/pad into universal remote
T-shirt from Threadless that Luke from Modern Family was wearing - yes Luke is 10, no hubby is not
