Britney's Special Gift for Her Mom

Looks like Britney Spears and her mom are finally beginning to mend fences. First there was Brit's late-night pop in to mom Lynne Spears' Marina del Rey condo where she sobbed as the pair embraced. And now, the beleaguered singer is buying her mom gifts.

During Britney's post-court shopping spree yesterday at Neiman Marcus, the Toxic songstress sampled three different perfumes before finally opting for a bottle of Tom Ford Black Orchid. "It's for my mom," Britney told a Neiman Marcus employee as she continued to shop, trying on clothes in a private dressing room.

Tensions between Brit and Lynne began in early 2007 when the troubled star was convinced to enter rehab by her mom and Brit's then-manager Larry Rudolph. Even as recently as August, it looked like there was no hope for healing the break between mother and daughter as Lynne joined Brit's ex-hubby Kevin Federline at his home to celebrate the birthdays of Brit's two infant sons while the pop star was busy ruining her career on the stage of the Video Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Right after her court appearance, CelebTV.com was able to get a few words out of Britney for their camera. The singer smiled as she said that her court appearance "was good" and that she has her boys Sean Preston, 2, and 1-year-old Jayden James, back.
