Most of us will struggle to find a wonderful gift this year for Mother’s Day. But a few folks will secretly fantasize gifting something a bit more unusual–a gem more befitting the mother they’ve grown to despise. The mother who makes their lives a living hell. And so, for those gift-givers, we offer a few suggestions…
1. Subtle Butt: disposable gas neutralizers: If she was a stinky mom, hit her where it hurts. At only $11.95, she’ll certainly get the point, and if not, you’re not out too much.
2.The Emergency Bra: If you really hate her, maybe you don’t want her to be able to save herself when the Nukes hit. But the fact that she’s wearing this, has to be comic relief enough. Function meets fashion with this handy under garment! $49.95.
3. Back Shaver: You probably weren’t supposed to see her hirsut back, but since you have….here’s a tool to “help her out.” Easy to use and totally painless. This shaver conveniently uses disposable razors. A patent design that needs no batteries. Awarded Best of the Web by Maxim Magazine. $30.53.
4. Mothering Without a Map: The Search for the Mother Within, by Kathryn Black. Have a little sympathy, and take pity on her. Maybe she needs a little perspective. Black’s book is a blend of memoir, research and women’s stories, offering the good news that one doesn’t have to have had a good mother to become one. There are other paths to discovering the good mother within.
5.Twilight Edward Cullen Pillow: When boyfriend pillows and hug-o-grams simply aren’t enough, maybe your Twi-tard mom needs to cuddle up with someone a little creepier, like this Edward Cullen Twilight body pillow.The creator cleverly calls her products “manllows.”
