Mother's Day can be a
wonderful celebration,
but it is also a very
dangerous day for youth
and fathers. The biggest
peril is buying a
Mother's Day Gift.

Mother’s Day can be a wonderful
celebration, but it is also a very
dangerous day for youth and
fathers. The biggest peril is buying a
Mother’s Day Gift. After all,
everyone is supposed to know what
she wants. Unfortunately, it’s not
always so easy.
So, whether you are a youth or the
husband, here are some Mother’s
Day gifts to avoid. Of course there
are mothers who do love some
these gifts, but for the most part,
the rest of the world’s mothers
would be delighted if you carefully
avoid them.

Hopefully this list will keep you out
of trouble, but then again,
mother’s also have this uncanny
desire to be different, to be an
exception to the norm, sometimes
just to keep you guessing.
Of course, regardless of what you
get her, she’ll tell you how much
she loves it. After all, she’s your
mom. But later, when you are out
of site, she’ll wonder why her son
or daughter or husband couldn’t
think of something more personal.

Mother’s Day Gifts that Youth to
Avoid
Anything Vaguely Related to Weight
No matter how much mom talks
about wanting to lose weight,
Mother’s Day is NOT the day to give
her a loving hand with her love
handles. Forget the diet books, the
exercise equipment, the membership
to the slimming salon. Nothing says “I
love you, Mom” quite like anything
that hints at weight loss, getting
healthier, or looking better. Stay away
from anything designed to let her
know where she could use a little
improvement.

HINT: Don’t use Mother’s Day
to buy a mom a scale, a tape
measure, or anything that
even vaguely suggests that
mom is not incredibly beautiful
just the way she is!

Clothes
Clothes are a lose-lose
situation. If they are too small,
she’ll think she’s fat because
she can’t wear them. If they
are too big then she’ll be
offended that you think she is
so fat. And don’t event
mention colors and fashion.
HINT: Clothes are best avoided
at all costs unless you taker
her shopping!

Anything for the Bathroom
The rose scented bubble bath that
you bought her last year is still
under her bathroom sink,
unopened. So is the one from the
year before that. Scented soaps
and bath gels carry a subtle hint
that mom stinks and needs to
bathe more often. And, you will be
grown and have youth of your own
long before mom finds the time for
a relaxing soak in a Bubble Bath!
HINT: Avoid bath soaps, shampoo,
bubble bath, and shower gels

Cleaning Supplies
While mothers often complain
about how much easier it would
be to clean the house if they had
the new Tornado 2000 vacuum
cleaner that sucks up every speck
of dust in sight, or that new self-
wringing mop from the infomercial
on late night TV, Mother’s Day is
not the day to entertain her
cleaning needs. Anything used to
clean doesn’t say “I love You,
Mom” but instead hints that she
isn’t doing enough around the
house to clean up after the youth
and kids.

Even though you are trying to
get her something to lighten
her workload, the last thing
she wants to be reminded of
on Mother’s Day is that she is
the same level as a live in
maid.
HINT: Why not clean the
entire house for your mom on
Mother’s Day. She might pass
out in shock, but at least
she’ll have a smile on her
face.

Household Appliances
Don’t give mom gifts that make
her work harder. Mother’s Day is
about appreciation and relaxation,
not cleaning appliances and
sanitation. Its not about a new
washer, a steam cleaner, a sewing
machine, and most certainly not
about the new iron. And if you are
replacing something that’s broken
— it doesn’t even count as a
Mother’s Day gift. Giving
appliances for Mother’s Day is like
your boss giving you work to take
home on the weekend.

HINT: Surprise her with the
appliances on another day of
the year, just to say “I love
you.” And instead of simply
presenting it to her all wrapped
up in a box, take it out, use it to
get the job done, then tie a
bow on it. Mom will love that
you helped out more than the
fact that you got her a gift.

Things for the Kitchen
Just because mom admired
the new turbo toaster that
not only toasts but also
butters the bread, doesn’t
mean that mother’s day is
the her special day to get
one. After all, how often does
she make toast for herself?
Sure, these appliances might
make her life a little easier in
the kitchen, but you’re the
one she cooks for anyway!

HINT: Avoid anything that
hints at the kitchen – bread
makers, knives, food
processors, blenders, can
openers, salt and pepper
shakers, pots, pans, aprons
are best avoided. Surprise
her with them on another
day!

Something on Your Personal Wish
list
Mother’s Day is not the day to kill to
birds with one stone. Who’s going to
spend the most time glued in front
of the new 3D LCD TV? Nor do they
want sports equipment, or anything
for a car. If you are a youth who
already has a driver’s license, why
not take her shopping.
HINT: Moms don’t want basketballs,
sports shoes, soccer balls, new
windshield wiper blades, floor mats,
unless they have a true passion for
such things.

Anything that’s Alive and Needs
Mom’s Help to Stay Alive!
If it poops, slithers, or crawls and
needs to eat or drink, it is probably
not a good idea. Houseplants that
need care are probably out too.
Maybe a tree or a rosebush planted
outside that requires little care would
work if she likes such things. Mother’s
gave gifts like these send the message:
“Hey mom, you don’t have enough to
do. Taking care of the pets and
watering the plants will keep you from
getting bored around the house while
I am at school!” We all know that
eventually, she’ll be responsible for
taking care of them!

HINT: Flowers are ok, as long
as they are given together
with something else. Given by
themselves they just reveal
that you thought about a
Mother’s Day gift for the 5
minutes it took to put it on
your dad’s credit card.

IOU Coupons and Homemade Gifts
Offering free housecleaning,
dishwashing or to walk the is nice.
But shouldn’t dad and the youth be
doing these things once in a while for
mom anyway? Anyway, when was
the last time a mom successfully
redeemed a coupon for these
services. Life’s busy schedule always
seems to get in the way. And
somehow the redemption always
seems to be requested at the busiest
times. Homemade gifts are just as
risky. Moms usually treasure the
thought when you are really young,
and they may stay on the shelf for
public display, long after you have
grown up and left home.

But as your grow older, homemade
gifts will be fussed over and
displayed for a while, but them
placed in a drawer and forgotten
unless they are really well done. And
this includes anything that has “#1
Mom” written on it. They are great
for yard sales, but every other mom
has one just like it.
HINT: Personalize gifts when you can,
but be very careful with picture
frames, homemade jewelry, and arts
and crafts.

Things Mom Needs
There are always things that Mom’s
need. A new towel, sheets for the
bed, diaper bags, craft supplies. The
list is never ending. But Mom’s
deserve something SPECIAL on
Mother’s Day. If it is something she
needs, save ot for another day.
These kinds of things should be
provided as needed anyway. And a
new computer probably isn’t the
best either, though she might enjoy
an ipad 2. Anyway, everyone knows
you want the new computer to play
the latest online games and chat
with your friends on facebook.

HINT: Instead of giving her
something functional, get
her something extravagant
for mother’s day. It doesn’t
have to cost a lot, it just
needs to be out of the
ordinary.

E-Gifts and Cards
We live in the internet age, but
Mom’s won’t find virtual gifts very
endearing. “Dear Mom, I cared
enough to send you the very best
e-card!” Mom likes the joy of
opening a present and holding
something real in her hands. This
includes online games, facebook
additions, computer wallpapers
and emails. And you ought to be
giving her digital photos on a
regular basis anyway! A simple
text message is even worse.

HINT: It’s always best to meet
her in person and present a
physical gift, even if it is your
presence, rather than give her
anything digital. If you want to
give her something digital,
why not give her that sheik
new smartphone, a digital
picture frame loaded with all
your favorite photos or a nice
new digital camera. Just make
sure you are buying it for her,
and not for yourself!

The Absolute WORST Mother’s
Day Gift
Don’t get her anything at all, don’t
do anything with her, or
completely forget that today is her
special day! Nothing says “I love
you” like forgetting about the very
special woman who spent years
changing your diaper, packing your
lunch and yelling at you to “clean
your room” while quietly cleaning
it for you while you were away at
school.
HINT: Even if you have to buy her a
last-minute gift, and break all the
rules above, never show up empty
handed on Mother’s Day!

Be sure and wish your
Mom a wonderful and
Blessed Mother’s Day!
