Mother’s Day is around the corner and it’s imperative that you not screw things up. So we compiled this list of 17 gifts no mom should ever get.
When thinking of what to get her, here’s a general rule of thumb: think about what your mom wants, not what she needs. Even if she mentioned needing a new vacuum, do not get her one for Mother’s Day. Or Christmas. Or her birthday.
1. Tampon Flask
On the one hand, no man will touch it. But on the other hand, this shouldn’t even exist.

Don’t buy shape wear for anyone other than yourself.
Good old @TKMaxx_UK. Sometimes you walk in and it's full of tat; other times you find @SPANX marked down from £88 to £15. pic.twitter.com/3YBbYw83Cr

13. Mom Tattoo
This should-I repeat, should-be self-explanatory.
14. A Vacuum
Cleaning appliances are not gifts.
15. Money
She raised you, so put some thought into it.
16. A Homemade Card Past Puberty
Save the arts and crafts for your own time.
17. A Trophy
This isn’t a grade school spelling bee.
Whatever you get her, remind her that she’s awesome.
