Last Mothers' Day I gave my mom a coupon book, and she told me she hadn't been this insulted since I declined her Facebook friend request. So in an act of self-retribution, I've compiled a list of some unpopular Mothers' Day gifts. Please feel free to add to this list of stuff moms evidently don't want.

The Giant St. Bernard You Don't Feel Like Taking Care Of Anymore

It was so much cuter and cheaper when it was a puppy and its drool didn’t look like a shoestring hanging from its mouth.

Curves Fitness Hula Hoop

Don’t trust the marketing photos of mothers joyously using these things.

The 2009 Ferret Calendar

I know, I know they’re on sale this time of year…And who could fathom that anyone might be disappointed by a ferret calendar? But trust me…this didn’t go over so well for me last year.

Suggested Books From The Mother's Day Table At Borders

One woman’s suggested reading list is another woman’s insult.

Button Featuring Soon-To-Be Deer Carcace

Widget_cdjobgw-dazaz8ze7c5qzr

Morbid and absurd.

Rabbit Paperweight

Fimo earrings

I often made something for my mom, and this took the form of really tacky fimo/clay earrings on more than one occasion. Never did see her wear most of them! Hmph.

Rigatone Necklace

Let’s be honest: You barely got away with this one in 4th grade.

A Racist Coupon Booklet

Water Aerobics Lessons

Widget_dgs4swmxhfd5p57fi6pxzn

Even worse than the Curves hula hoop.

A New Mop

Widget_dssqlixmxgrl8nehhzenxw

I noticed the floors in my parents’ house were looking a little dirty, so I figured my mom needed a new mop. She didn’t seem too thrilled. Bad idea? Oops.

Babies Dressed like RATS- ANNE GEDDES ANYTHING

Seriously, the calendars were enough, then there were mugs, framed pictures, figurines, coasters. UGH.

The Nebulous Decorative Box

Widget_cdyyzfdzjh6iqqo0e51qfe

Too small to store anything of use, and one more thing on the shelf to dust, nothing says “I couldn’t think of anything better” quite like a nebulous decorative box.
