Buying Mother’s Day gifts can be difficult business.
Your Mammy will say she doesn’t want anything. Believe us, she DEFINITELY does.
Even if you buy her something that’s not quite to her taste, such as a wheelbarrow, she’ll still say she loves it and it’s the thought that counts.
Wouldn’t you rather if your Mammy didn’t have to lie? Of course you would.
So keep her happy by avoiding these six truly awful gifts.
Gigantic Bottle of Cheap Perfume
We’ve all made the mistake of assuming quantity equals quantity when it comes to perfume. It really doesn’t.
A Vacuum Cleaner
As a general rule, avoid buying her any cleaning utensils.
Especially vacuum cleaners… they hurt the most when thrown at you.
Saucepans
A stainless steel saucepan set doesn’t exactly say ‘thanks for everything Mammy’, but it does make for a useful thing to throw when she realises you haven’t got her the gift she actually wanted.
Gym Membership
Why don’t you buy a big sign saying ‘I think my Mother needs to lose weight’ instead.
Botox
We see you’ve gone for the ‘I think my Mother looks old’ sign instead.
Interesting choice.
No Gift
It’s hard work getting the right Mother’s Day gift, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try.
She’s the one that’s always been there for you, from wiping away your tears on the first day of school to wiping away your tears after Mayo lost yet another All-Ireland.
Get her the gift she deserves.
