7 Worst Mother's Day Gifts (DO NOT Get These!)

1. Granny Jammies

Oh boy will she feel beautiful sporting this little ditty.  What woman wouldn't love this form flattering, plaid tent to get tangled up in while sleeping.

2.  Lotions and Potions

Unless it is some kind of special lotion that you know she uses, one that maybe she doesn't buy everyday, I would stay away from something like this that she probably already has a stockpile of under the bathroom sink.

3.  ANY Kitchen Appliance (or pots and pans....anything you use to cook actually)

Happy Mother's Day....now cook me something!

4.  Cleaning Supplies

Unless you are looking for a way to never have to speak to her again, DO NOT shower her with this lovely gift.

5.  ANY Diet or Self Help Book

Honestly, do you really need an explanation on this one?

6.  E-Card

This is just pure laziness, even a home-made card is better than this, at least with a home-made card you took the time to scribble something down...

7.  Coupons for Hugs/Favors

This is just plain ridiculous.  Unless you are 2 years old and made the coupons yourself, there is no excuse for this.  Has anyone EVER redeemed one of these?  Should you really need a coupon in order to be hugged?  Or the ones that say you will wash the dishes or cook a meal....REALLY?

I'm sure if you have ever made the mistake of giving one of these in the past, you probably learned your lesson and will never do it again.  The rule to great Mother's Day gift giving is not the cost its the thought you put behind it.
