You love your mom. You really do. But somehow, every Mother’s Day, people manage to gift the weirdest, saddest, most “what-were-you-thinking” presents imaginable. Don’t be that person this year. 🙃
1. The “Last-Minute Gas Station Bouquet”
Nothing says “I remembered you at the last possible second” like a wilted bouquet from Pump 'n' Go.
Pro Tip: If it comes with a free Slim Jim, it’s not a real gift.
2. The “Random Kitchen Appliance”
"Here, Mom, I got you a spiralizer you’ll never use!"
Unless she specifically asked for it, keep the random gadgets to yourself. She’s your mother, not a contestant on MasterChef.
3. The "Fitness Equipment Trap"
Nothing screams bad idea louder than gifting a treadmill or a "Get Fit Fast" DVD set.
Translation: "Hey Mom, here's a hint."
Spoiler alert: She. Will. Not. Appreciate. It.
4. The "World’s Okayest Mom" Mug
You thought it was funny.
She thought, "Wow, they think I’m just... okay."
Congratulations, you’ve just downgraded your childhood.
5. The “DIY Disaster”
Homemade gifts are adorable when you're six.
When you're thirty?
That "arts and crafts" key holder made of popsicle sticks and regret might not hit the same.
So, What Should You Actually Do?
Scrolling is out. Smart selection is in.
