Ten Great Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Chris Cameron
Are you having trouble thinking of the perfect Mother's Day gift? She's done so much for you over the years, from all her hard work to decades of reminding you to wear your seat belt or not to stay out too late. And you moved out of the house years ago! Ah, but she means well so here are some Mother's Day gift ideas that are right up her alley.

The Ishtar DVD

Is Mom having trouble sleeping lately? Why not get her one of the worst movies of all time: Ishtar! Best yet, there are no side effects unlike sleeping pills.

Crime Scene Towel

Mom love CSI? Then why not get her something from the studio gift shop! If you order soon they will also include a David Caruso t-shirt!

A Homeless Man in Bubble Wrap

One of the suggested games on the box to play is to try and pop all the bubbles before the homeless guy eats all your food, or pees on the rug. Not only is this gift fun for the whole family, but it also helps get people off the streets.

Meat Thermometer

Nothing says 'get in the kitchen and cook a roast' like this great Mother's day gift. It is also nostalgic as it harkens back to a time when women did all the cooking and cleaning. The 1950's really were the good old days!

Sprout a Couch

Everyone has outdoor furniture, but not everyone has furniture that is the outdoors. The couch kind of looks like it was left on the lawn and attacked by extremely aggressive grass. Weed killer is sold separately.

Gift Certificate for a Free Moustache Waxing

Sometimes, as we get older, hair starts to grow in odd places, like ears, or on womens' upper lip. Nana will love you for this one, and so will Grandpa.

20th Century with Mike Wallace: Against All Odds: Six-Day War and Raid on Entebbe DVD

All kidding aside, this was actually on a list of Mother's Day Gifts. I think a card made with elbow macaroni, Elmer's glue, and construction paper would make a much better...hmm....

A Card Made with Elbow Macaroni, Elmer's Glue, and Construction Paper

I'm just kidding. The DVD thing wasn't really on a list either. Moving on...

A Trip to the Mutter Museum

Nana will enjoy this home of medical oddities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Originally it was intended for research and education but now is a museum of the strange. There is even a woman's corpse that turned into soap.

Odd Ball Mobile Transport Unit

Give your grandma the ability to get around the neighborhood while not sacrificing her dignity stuck on a Rascal. It also is a great way to get some exercise at the same time.
