Mother day gifts for dysfunctional family

[spiltteeth]

Any suggestions?

Its mothers day in a week. I really don't love my mother that much but she's a good person and I need to get her something. Flowers seem too personal.

I'm outta idea's. I got 50 bucks. She's a receptionist...likes to cook...has a dog...Any idea's?

Get her an edible arrangement:

buy her a gift certificate from a place that sell cook stuff.

you cant mess up, or give her a bookstore certificate so she can go buy a cookbook.

Yeah, gift cards are a fail-safe.

Fixed that one for you. Gift cards are for when you have totally failed to suppose what you will buy for a person, and with the person in question is your mum, only bad things can happen. That fruit thingy is amazing! If she likes cooking, either get her a cook book or take her out for dinner. If you have brothers and sisters, all of you take her out. And most importantly, flowers. You should always, unfailingly get a bunch of something like tulips.

Incidentally, why do you celebrate Mothers' Day in May?

Get her some pots of fresh herbs. They're only about 5 dollars a pop and they're wonderful. Can't top fresh herbs.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I'm terrible at gifts. Usually I shop at CVS. Last year I got her deodorant, a 'shamwow' and car oil.

Here in the states we celebrate mothers day may 7th or 8th or around there.

I guess I'll get her herbs, flowers, and some edible fruity thing.

My father wanted me and my bro to chip in on some kind of plastic surgery for her but I'm not participating.

In a dysfunctional family I imagine you don't know what to get, so why pretend like you do. That's where gift cards come in.

That's weird: getting your mam a boob job for Mothers' day. What are you getting for your grandma? :lol:

I don't know...vaginal reconstructive surgery or anal bleaching maybe?

Every family that ever is, was or will be is foundationally fucked. It really is the thought that counts. My family is the second most dysfunctional family in the UK, but I still buy good gifts. For my dad's 50th I bought a zippo with '50' carved into it. But as I'm assuming this isn't any milestone, just the better recommendations on here. Especially the floral fruit bowl.

glad to be of service.

Get her a crate of beer some old cheese sliced into cubes and some dvd's then enjoy all that on her couch until the alcohol gets to you.

Then whip out a lame gift certificate and be done with it.

Or if you actually like her give her some flowers and take her out for lunch maybe shop for a bit.

Agreed. And in spades. Everything barbaric in human experience can be summed up in a single word-- "family."

It, family, is an excuse to do things to people you would never do if they weren't related to you.

If only I could rep you for this. I have laughed hysterically in the library at uni over this! :laugh::D
