Shopping for Mother's Day? You'll want to match the perfect gift to her unique interests and personality.

A recent study found that the majority of shoppers say finding the right gift for Mom is the most stressful part of Mother's Day.

But according to some experts, it's not hard to meet your mother's elevated expectations on her big day-here are some insider tips on scoring great gifts without hassle:

- New flavors: A night out at a restaurant your mom has never tried is thoughtful, yet surprisingly easy. Many local restaurants offer great deals just for mom that won't break the bank.

- Tradition: If you're getting Mom flowers, don't wait until the last minute. Instead, order in advance. You'll have more time to spend with your mom and may end up saving money. Local florists typically offer discounts on flowers, especially around holidays like Mother's Day.

- A new experience: Not all gifts come wrapped. Has Mom ever had a deep massage or relaxing experience at a spa? Consider giving her the royal treatment at your local spa and beauty salon. Moms can enjoy a relaxing day filled with manicures, pedicures, massages and more. Maximize your quality time with your mom by joining her at the spa-and make memories that will last a life time.

Between mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and wives, don't let shopping for those special ladies be cause for alarm. With the right strategies, you can find the perfect present.
