Is this common practice among all boys I say to Tom 'what are you buying your mum??', he goes 'oh I'll buy her a top from M&S', his poor mum has about 15 almost identical tops in her wardrobe cos she gets the same thing every year
I am now in charge of all present buying duties

PMSL! I think it's even worse than you imagine.
I take my mother christmas shopping every year, always to M&S
and until now thought it was the ultimate mother - son bonding experience."Go on mam, treat yourself, anything you want. What about that twinset over there?"
"Mark, how old do you think I am? I'm 50 not 70"
"Well what about that beige cashmere polo neck"
"Fck off son"

You just know that on Christmas day morning there's all these Mums all over the country opening an M&S jumper loving chosen by their son
haha and the returns counter on 27th december hidden under a pile of pastel wool!
Thank god for M&S's refund policy
