Mother’s Day is a time for appreciation, but let’s be honest: not all gifts hit the mark. While most moms would be thrilled with a simple handmade card and some peace and quiet, it’s a given that the day doesn’t always go as envisioned. In a lighthearted spirit, we reached out to our fabulous community on social media to share their most cringe-worthy Mother’s Day gifts, and the responses were priceless. Here are some of the absolute worst gifts that made the cut, in no particular order. Remember, whatever happens this year, we at Home Insemination Kit see you and value all you do.

  • “A manicure voucher meant to be used with my mother-in-law.”
  • “A bottle of olive oil because my partner thought I’d love the design.”
  • “On my first Mother’s Day, my husband gifted me $50 to buy that grill I had mentioned. So I ended up cooking on it too. After 20 years, he’s finally improved!”
  • “A brush for removing dog hair.”
  • “Pajamas for four consecutive years… Please, just anything else!”
  • “A blank card meant for my newborn to decorate. It was just white.”
  • “Deodorant. I had been eyeing a new brand, but not as a gift!”
  • “A Lazy Susan for the pantry. I had received one for Christmas already!”
  • “Windshield wiper blades.”
  • “A gift card for a golf course my husband enjoys. I’m not a golfer, obviously he used it.”
  • “A Mother’s Day card after I experienced a miscarriage. The intention was sweet, but it cut deep at that moment.”
  • “The excuse that since I’m not HIS mom, no gift is necessary.”
  • “An offer to spend ‘quality’ time with the kids by doing an activity I’d have to choose and plan. As a stay-at-home mom, it felt like nothing changed. Yay. He genuinely thought this was a great idea.”
  • “A vacuum cleaner—and not even a good one.”
