Things that mum may not want for Mothers day...

cazza by cazza Young Parent(May 7th) (rank 2nd)

There are gift guides and catalogues all trying to show you the perfect gift for Mum, but some of them ignore the fact that Mums have some pet hates for the day …

As a favour to most Mums across Australia and the world, here is a list of real life gifts may be given on Mothers Day that  may not be appreciated! This is a list your Mum doesn’t want to contribute to! 

*A vacuum cleaner 

*Dishwashing gloves and detergent

*An iron

*Oven gloves

*Cooking lessons!

* Grey hiding hair dye

* A ‘Mum’s Taxi’ sticker

*Toaster

*Tea towels

Now some mums may appreciate this and thats lovely but i have heard how some have being given some quirky presents as well such as

* toy cars

* potty

* rubbish bin

* lego

Each Mum is different, so if she actually asks for some of these things you might risk it.  and remember its the thought that counts on the day not how big the present is...

You forgot the computer paper. I got 2 reams of it a couple of years ago. And why?? They needed to print out their assignments. Isn't it nice when the kids put so much thought into a present for you?

Lol if items are purchased from the first list it is surely grounds for divorce!!!!  I should print this out and leave it as a reminder for hubby.

All I want for mother's day is a nice day out with hubby and JB... hubby has booked off Friday and Monday so looks like we will get out and do something.

Totally agree. Each mum is totally different. My mum appreciates old antique things, and glass ware with patterns on them, so my mum is really easy to buy for luckily
