I just read “Worst Mothers Day Gifts”, with the exception of the hand made gift cards and cleaning supplies, all those gifts can be re-gifted throughout the year, think about it, those little gift baskets filled with bath soaps, etc. and the ceramic items can be regifted at Christmas, the knives and the appliances can be regifted into House Warming or Bridal Shower gifts.
The Mothers Day mugs, well, their is always a new mom or mom to be who would love one of those.
Also if your church has a thrift store or bizarre, all these things (again with the exception of the gift cards and cleaning supplies) can be donated.
“a gift like this is you can never get RIDE of it.”
I hope the mom who wrote the above sentence, along with those who proofread it, do a better job checking their kids’ homework than writing articles like this one.
I would like to say not every mom is hard to please or ungrateful. I really do believe in consideration of the thought behind the gift. If your toaster is broken or you don’t have one, you might smile at the sight of a brand new one. Somehow, I think that World’s Greatest Mom or hand-painted by a loved one ceramic plate will be priceless when the children have all grown up and moved away!
Yes, it IS the thought that counts. Especially if you’ve ever lost your loved ones and would give anything in the world to even be able to see or hold them. A good friend just lost her son and would give anything just to have him with her! People need to stop caring more about the stupid gift and think more about the people in their lives.
I’m a big supporter of “It’s the thought that counts!” I loved every mug, piece of costume jewelry, etc., that my children have ever given me and now my grandkids give me. In my eyes, they can never give me a bad gift.

Mom always said that she wanted flowers before she passed away and not after, so that she could see them and appreciate them. In fact, that was her wish for every holiday or for “just no particular reason”. So, for each Mother’s Day, I honored her request and gave her flowers. Now that she’s gone, I am so glad that I did.
The best Mothers’ Day “gift”? A request for homework help. From my abusive ex-husband, three weeks after I had given birth to our son. I’ll take the World’s Best Mom mugs over this. I’ve gotten the random bath and body stuff too, just not for Mothers’ Day. It’s ridiculous when you consider that I make bath and body products, with much better ingredients than are usually in those things.
Wow this is a snotty article. The only thing I wouldn’t love is the cleaning products. Everyone always says to never buy a woman an appliance, that’s a load of crap. If my kids gave me a much-needed or wanted appliance I’d be thrilled.
In regards to my child, anything that she put her thought and heart into would be cherished. If she got excited over making or purchasing something, anything, for me, then that’s the gift. It is most definitely the thought that counts.
I think I win. What about NO presents on mother’s day? I’d gladly take the expensive cookware :)
OR even a card, home made whatever…I’ll take anything sweet like that. Sentimental and from the heart.
I just read your worst mom’s day gifts and I can tell you that for my first mother day gift from my old boyfriends son was a frog in a jar where he got when he went camping with his friends
Of course, anything my sons have made for me, signed their names to, or personally picked out for me on Mother’s Day- I still have stored away. It’s when their dad tries to help out - like when he thought I really needed that food dehydrater so he could make beef jerky!
While I agree it is the thought that counts, there is a point in that sentence, THINK! If mom doesnt like to cook than pots and knives are a bad idea, but if mom has been hinting about a ceramic pairing knife (hey hubby read here!!) than a knife is a great idea! Although one time hubby got me a new vacuum for mothers day, I have him a look and he said “what, you wanted a new vacuum!” yeah but not for mothers day LOL
There isn’t a worsed gift for me
I have memories of giving birth to my 2 great daughter ,which in return gave me my 5 grand cildren.Thats the BEST not the WORST
To all the moms protesting, “the thought DOES count…” Of course it does! But the thing about all these gifts is that they’re so thoughtless. A handmade gift, a heartfelt card, any gift that says, “you’re a great mom”-those are great… A gift that says, “you’re a great maid”? Not so much. I thought this post was funny ‘cause it’s so true.
Here’s to families stepping up their game! And Happy Almost-Mom’s Day, everybody!
At what age should a daughter give gifts to her Mother for Mother’s Day. I have never taught my daughter this tradition.
I have one that is even worse.
NOTHING!
The worst gift ever is your children not doing anything at all.
Those are some overplayed gifts but i would never tell my kids that.The thought does count and if they make it by themselves no matter what it is i will treasure it.Te last thing a mom needs is to materialistic when it comes to their kids giving them gifts.
