Kate Hudson plans her mother's birthday presents years in advance.

Speaking about the present she bought, she said: "I got my mom this beautiful china that just embodies my mom. She loves table settings, but they're so extraordinarily expensive that I kind of have been buying them over the years.

"I give her a place setting, it's been six years now. This year I got her the coffee setting, with the creamer and the sugar."

Meanwhile, Kate previously revealed that she credits her mother for giving her body confidence.

She said: "My mom always celebrated the female body so she gave me confidence. I felt that when I started becoming a woman and getting my figure, it was celebrated.

"I have been able to deal with the pressures of Hollywood, thanks to those early lessons from my mom."

Kate - who has Ryder, 10, with her ex-husband, Chris Robinson, and 5-year-old Bingham, with her current partner, Matthew Bellamy - is hoping to pass on her mother's wise words to her own kids.

She explained: "I will instil in my children the idea you should always be open about your body - though you should respect your body."
