Ten Great Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Written by Chris C on May 9th, 2008Are you having trouble thinking of the perfect Mother’s Day gift? She’s done so much for you over the years, from all her hard work to decades of reminding you to wear your seat belt or not to stay out too late. And to think you moved out of the house years ago! But she means well so here are some Mother’s Day gift ideas that are right up her alley.
The Ishtar DVD
Is Mom having trouble sleeping lately? Why not get her one of the worst movies of all time, Ishtar! Best yet, there are no side effects unlike sleeping pills.
Crime Scene Towel
Mom loves CSI? Then why not get her something from the studio gift shop. If you order soon they will also include a David Caruso t-shirt!
A Homeless Man in Bubble Wrap
One of the suggested games on the box to play is to try and pop all the bubbles before the homeless guy eats all your food, or pees on the rug. Not only is this gift fun for the whole family, but it also helps get people off the streets.
Meat Thermometer
Nothing says get in the kitchen and cook a roast like this great Mother’s day gift. It is also nostalgic as it harkens back to a time when women did all the cooking and cleaning. The 1950’s really were the good old days!
Sprout a Couch
Everyone has outdoor furniture, but not everyone has furniture that is the outdoors. The couch kind of looks like it was left on the lawn and attacked by extremely aggressive grass. Weed killer is sold separately.
For the hippies and treehuggers, not only is this gift environmentally correct but it is the perfect cure for moms with green guilt.
Gift Certificate for a Free Moustache Waxing
Sometimes, as we get older, hair starts to grow in odd places like ears or on womens’ upper lip. Nana will love you for this one, and so will Grandpa.
20th Century with Mike Wallace: Against All Odds: Six-Day War and Raid on Entebbe DVD
All kidding aside, this was actually on a list of Mother’s Day Gifts. I think a card made with elbow macaroni, Elmer’s glue, and construction paper would make a much better…hmm….
A Card Made with Elbow Macaroni, Elmer’s Glue, and Construction Paper
I’m just kidding. The DVD thing wasn’t really on a list either. Moving on…
A Trip to the Mutter Museum
Nana will enjoy this home of medical oddities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally it was intended for research and education but now is a museum of the strange. There is even a woman’s corpse that turned into soap. Poor lady. Even in death she still has to do the dishes. I kid I kid.
Odd Ball Mobile Transport Unit
Give your grandma the ability to get around the neighborhood while not sacrificing their dignity stuck on a Rascal. It also is a great way to get some exercise at the same time.

Dustin Hoffman and that dude who’s married to Annette Beening–great gift idea! I think I’ll also add the Al Gore movie and make it a double-feature. Thanks for the tips!

Only thing is the DVD is only available in French. Maybe that makes the movie funnier. Or sad, I can’t decide.

HAHAHAHAHA! Love the list Chris. I so want one of those mobile transport units. A giant hot pink one. I’ll go merrily bouncing all over my Island and horrify the heck out of my kids. Yeah, that’s the ticket!!

Thanks Paula and Meg. :)
This is actually something I did a year ago for Associated Content that I retained the rights to. Glad I did that.

How can I get a hold of one of those couches? Does it come in a seed packet or a loveseat sized plant with its roots wrapped in burlap?

No. I’m pretty sure it causes diarrhea and vomiting.

Good to hear from you Jerry. Always nice to get a comment from a former co-worker. Tell everyone I said hi and I hope they are doing well. So glad I am out of that bullshit environment. Waiting on old people and coupon clippers is a complete pain in the ass.
