Truly, there's nothing wrong with flowers. But when did oversized bouquets of hydrangeas, lilies and the like become inextricably linked with Mother's Day? Any mom with a Trader Joe's nearby can whip up a nicer display for far less money on any given day. Yet, come the second Sunday of May, she has to smile and be a gracious recipient in order to spare the giver's feelings (because she's a mom and that's what we do).
Excessively expensive floral arrangements, crowded restaurant brunches, handmade kid art...it all comes with the territory. We get it. Most moms are just happy you took the time to do anything for them (though, I suspect cleaning a toilet, or doing your own laundry would earn you way more points than carnations).
Now, I'm not your cookie cutter mom, per se, but allow me to make a few suggestions for a few last minute gifts that might curry favor with your very own Wonder Woman.
