Most ethical breeders won't let someone buy a pet as a gift for the holidays. This means that your only options will be unethical breeders and pet shops. This means you will have a higher chance of getting a sick dog, a dog with massive genetic issues, and a dog with behavioural issues. One should never buy from an unethical, disreputable breeder as the only thing they care about is the money. They don't care if the dog is unhealthy or what happens to the dog once the check clears.
Pekingese are not easy dogs to deal with. Are you sure your mom wants one? Why not give her a certificate for a pekingese and then the two of you can find a reputable breeder, wait for delivery, and then pick out the puppy together? This way you won't be rushing into anything and making a huge mistake.
I'm going to link to a guide to finding a responsible breeder, please look it over before you purchase any animal. It's vital. You also need to make sure that you and your mother understand the breed and the responsibilities that come with a toy dog. Not even being able to spell "Pekingese" correctly makes me think that no research has been done thus far. They are prone to VERY EXPENSIVE health problem, problems that can easily cost over $1000 to repair, so you need to familiarize yourself with that before buying or adopting one.
So, read the links below and hopefully you'll find what you need. : )

Giving a dog as a gift is not usually a good idea. The reason is that the person you give it to, may not be ready for that kind of commitment yet and you will be throwing them into a situation they were not prepared for. The rescue groups around here suggest finding that puppy, discussing what you want to do with the breeder/rescue group and then gift up doggie supplies, like a leash, food dish, treats, toys, etc... When the person opens this box, you then let them know your intensions and they will be able to pick out the puppy/dog of their choice. It also gives them the option to decline without risking a dog or puppy ending up in the pound, or just being returned to a rescue group.

The first issue is, does your MOM want the pup, or is this all your idea? Is she ready to give a pup a home for 15 years or so, financially able to give the dog all the required vet care, buy food and so on? Does she plan on travelling a lot, and so won't really want a dog because the animal would have to be boarded or she'd have to find someone to care for it while she is gone?
If your MOM is the one who wants the pup, she should really be the one to make the final decision as to what pup gets brought into her home. She needs to visit the breeder and talk over things with the humans, sit on the floor and decide which of the pups is the one she likes, which one fits her expectations in personality.
My suggestion, should your MOM be the one wanting the pup, would be to contact Pekingese Rescue. Not for your pup, but to ask these volunteers for a reputable breeder.
Here is a link to this organization: http://www.pekingeserescue.com/
Pekes have numerous genetic problems and you want a breeder who is responsible and has tested the parents thoroughly for these illnesses. At a minimum, the parents should be certified yearly with CERF and should have OFA clearances for Patella Luxation. (If you don't know what these things are, please do more research!)

I hope everything works out good for you!

Good breeders won't have pups ready at Christmas time. They know that far too many pups are bought for presents because of their looks. Then a lil while later the people don't want them and they get dumped in shelters.

You should get in touch with someone in the Pekingese breed club, as they are usually the best source for breeders:

Also - check Yahoo Groups to see if there is a breed group there. You can usually get good advice from other owners.

I don't have any but you might try looking for one in a Dog Fancy magazine. They always have a lot of listings and most of the dogs in it are registered.
