4 Mother's Day Gifts to Let Mom Know She's Haggard

Posted by Madeline Holler

There's a time and a place to give health and beauty gifts. But a Mother's Day brunch is not one of them. If you really want to honor mom, give her jewelry, art ... hell, the rest of the day to see a movie alone. 

But don't imply she's less than gorgeous. Remember, it's the thought that counts and you don't want mom to think that you think THAT. Right?

So stay away from the following gift suggestions, some PR firm has repeatedly blasted to Strollerderby. Yes, I know, it's just a tube of really expensive mascara. But it says oh, so much more.

Gift: Lash Food, an all natural eyelash and eyebrow conditioning stimulator that provides you with fuller, longer, darker and stronger lashes. $129

Thought: Mom, you're beautiful on the inside, but not in your face.

Gift:  Belli Skincare's Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, healing skin reparative treatment specifically formulated to decrease the appearance of existing stretchmarks. $52

Thought: Mom, ew. Either cover those things up or get rid of them.

Gift:  Tres Sleek (formerly Flabuless) Arm Shaper, aka: a girdle for Mom's lunch-lady arms.

Thought: Mom, you're fat and oozy!

Gift: A trip to a luxury hotel where Mom can wait for her early morning plastic surgery appointment -- performed by Dr. Michael Salzhauer, the guy who wrote a kid's book about moms and plastic surgery, "My Beautiful Mommy"!

Thought: Mom, we think you know what this means.
