Five things you should never buy as a Mother's Day gift

Actually, the "man cold" is the equivalent of a "woman headache" ;-).

Charlene, who did you ask the Queen of England? These are great gifts, who are your sources? I would love a new mixer, lotion, gift cards, remember it's the thought that counts. Get back to reality.

All I need for mothers day is a day off to be with my family!! It's my first year celebrating and jeez I can't wait to see what my husbend has in store for me! But I think a big hug thanking me will be enough and a biggo smile from my baby girl (7 weeks)..but like I said it's my first year!

The moms have it together not fussy as the author of the article writes.
Most momsare just very happy to be apriciated,though it should be for more thanone day!Enjoy your day ladies we all appreciate what youve donefor us and the sacrifices you make!

I'd love a Dyson! At least it will be used and not sit on a shelf gathering dust...

Putting money in your savings account is NOT going to help you- or anyone else- during a recession. Research it some time. Buying the vacuum will put money in the economy, and money to the economy is like spinach to Popeye. You have a patriotic duty. So what are you waiting for?

why is this article focused on your spouse rather than your mother, after all your wife is not your mother and for many couples probably is not even a mother

I don't know who the clueless people are who write these lists. Mother's Day is not about getting expensive gifts. The whole holiday, along with Valentine's Day, has turned into an excuse to get into more debt for millions of American families. Maybe I'm lucky because my husband helps around the house and takes care of the children and tells me every day he appreciates what I do. He doesn't need a Hallmark holiday to go out and buy a cheap pair of $500 earrings to say "thank you." And in return I am appreciative of any gift my family gives me-- including a Dyson (which I have received as a gift and my husband uses it too) and a big red Kitchen Aid Mixer (I am not bitter about using it to make cookies for my kids). And I love lotions too.

From the perspective of a son who is very close to his mother, I would say that aside from a cold, any mom would appreciate any of these gifts and the thought behind them...but then again, my mom is probably 100 times cooler than the lady who wrote this article. Happy Mother's Day mom, and to all the other moms who disagree with this lady.

I personally think that this article is incorrect. Some mothers do appreciate these things - especially applicants.. and what's wrong with lotion? I don't see anything wrong with it.

hey i would love getting a new dyson vaccum for mothers day or anything on that list. i love gifts i don't care what they are its really the thought that counts.

it's a fake holiday. people shouldn't expect anything, never mind be ungrateful of what they do get.

buy her a mop to wipe away her tears after giving her a mop!

women, you don't deserve ANYTHING! why? it's apparent that nothing is ever good enough for you "princesses."

I have waited nine long years to be a mom. This will be my first mother's day. What ever I my two best men get me will be cherished forever! Happy Mother's Day Ladies!!!!!!!

When I was 16 and working my first job, I asked my mom what she wanted for Mother's Day. Her response was, "Something I can use." I bought her a vacuum cleaner and she couldn't have been happier.

My #1 RULE: NEVER BUY YOUR MOM SOMETHING THAT PLUGS INTO THE WALL!!

you and u dang feminists.... this website r things u shuldnt get the mom... they r tellin u not to send her to the kitchen... god dont get ur panties in a bunch plz

I would love that kitchenaid mixer!!!!!

Crud!
Now I'll have to return the lotion I bought and go with my second choice: Chinese Throwing Stars

This list is just silly, that mixer is awesome and that vacuum is super expensive. That would be an awesome gift, and if you think a coffee maker would be better than a super nice mixer that's just dumb. You can get a coffee maker for like $10. Please avoid taking advice from this article with the exception of cheap lotion, don't but that.
