In honor of Mother’s Day and all the fine mothers out there, there is a ton of advice going around about what to get Moms as a gift for Mother’s Day.
Instead of the usual suggestions for flowers (Cheap Mother’s Day Flowers) and chocolates (Amazing Chocolates) , what I think is truly valuable advice for readers would be to share with folks my hard learned lessons and helpful advice on what to not give your Mom for Mother’s Day. You may not have realized it yet but the perfect gift for Mother’s Day can determine whether Mom is an angel or a pain to you for the rest of the year…so you better get her something perfect!
All Moms are different, so different gifts for Mom would get clearly engender different reactions depending on the type of Mom you have. Here’s my list of the top 12 wacky products that Mom may not be too pleased to get (sorted by the type of Mom you may have – or luckily don’t have). If you value your happiness, think long and hard before you go about getting any of these items for your Mom. Trust me, I know from experience!
12. For the Mom Who is Really Superstitious:
Graveyard Dust
Graveyard Dust
Give her a bag od Graveyard dust and tell her that you got it at the witchcraft store. Refuse to tell her what it does and just "sprinkle [it] about while saying "Peace be still in the silence of naught. Cease all action, deed, and thought. Gathered to dust from dead man’s tombs, lay the hex of barren wombs. I conjure the ghost to rid our enemy from pillar to post."
