You Shouldn't Have! 7 Gifts NOT to Get a Mom This Mother's Day

Last year for Mother's Day, I got my wife one of those machines that make seltzer water. I thought it was pretty cool, 'cause it has this canister of compressed air that you slot into it, and when you "seltzer-ize" water, the machine makes this fantastic noise, like a sick goose is honking up phlegm in your kitchen! My wife was less than excited. "But you love seltzer," I said. "And now you'll never have to buy it, or wish we had it around. You can make your own!" "Brian, it's an appliance." And that, my friends, is how I learned: There are some presents that, no matter how much they make sense to you, are not appropriate for Mother's Day! So that you don't make the same mistake I did, I hereby present to you my guide for what NOT to buy that special mom in your life. - By Brian Gresko
