Do NOT buy these gifts for your mom, Please!

Some people refer to mother’s day as “I’ll get you something you’ll probably never use again” day. Funny, yet true. You can never be too prepared for Mother’s day, think of it as a pop quiz exam, the moment you start studying it gets cancelled. I for one, KNOW what my mom wants for mother’s day the things is all the stores are running out of products and as easy as a “jacket” may seem, I must tell you, it’s a Task. Well, with this list here at least I know what I’m NOT getting her when I can’t find the right gift.

• A faux-leather bag: faux= fake. Saying it in French is faker than the bag itself.

• Accessories: it’s not my mum’s 16th birthday bash; the word for middle aged accessories for women is called “jewelry”. “Faux” jewelry = accessories so stay away as well. Don’t have the cash to buy her something gold/ silver/ diamond? Save up, pitch in with a sibling, or even give her the money as a head start she’ll appreciate it.

• Too big: I found the jacket my mom wanted, got it, hope was raised, she fell in love with it, then BAM it’s too big. The key in buying clothes for someone else is having their exact size. Too big or too small is more frustrating than not getting a gift at all!

• Mom jeans: what better way to say “happy LAST mother’s day mummy” when you hand her those pair of jeans. Mom jeans are a curse. Even those that own a pair, regret the fact they’ve worn them ever so PLEASE don’t buy your mum any Mom Jeans, we don’t want her to commit suicide.

• A gadget: if this was father’s day, a new Bluetooth wireless headset would seem like the perfect gift. Most mums don’t fancy gadgets; they’d rather dine out or get a massage at the spa instead of getting a “toy” from the “hardware store”.
Now that you know what to steer clear of, don’t say we didn’t warn you and better yet take her mother’s day gift shopping with you, it’ll help you bond.
