According to a British survey, 40 percent of moms have received an unwanted Mother's Day gift, but most of them were too polite to complain. Here's a partial list of the 30 worst Mother's Day gifts (according to moms who actually received these gifts):
- Deodorant
- Fire extinguisher
- Cleaning supplies
- A stick of French bread
- Salad dressing
- Popcorn
- Ants (perhaps an ant farm for Mom)
- Hair dye
- Screwdriver
- Toilet roll
- Calculator
- Car parts
Another newspaper ran an article titled "20 awful Mother's Day cards that you absolutely should not buy." The article is clear: Do NOT buy these cards, but just in case you're curious here are a few examples:
- Mom, thanks for always checking up on me (with a picture of a cell phone with 24 unanswered calls from "Mom").
- Well I guess this Mother's Day card is late. Looks like someone wasn't raised properly.
- I'm awesome. You're welcome. To the luckiest Mom ever.
- Mom I love you loads. (A picture of a laundry basket overflowing with clothes.) Speaking of loads … can you do my laundry?
