Your Friendly Mother’s Day Shopping Guide
Well, gentlemen, it’s that time again. As some of you may recall, I posted a public service announcement concerning Valentine’s Day. I hate to tell you, but y’all ain’t done yet. Not by a longshot. The good news is, Mother’s Day seems to be less fraught with pitfalls. Moms tend to be grateful for little things, especially from their children. An overcooked breakfast in bed presented with a homemade card is just this side of Heaven for us. For the dads, it’s not so easy. They can’t rely on cutesy or adorable like kids can. But you can rely on moi. First up we have The Family Necklace from Red Envelope:
Representative of the whole family, you have the option of one, two, or three children. If you have more children, I would suggest this:
The “Mom’s Bouquet” hand-painted wine glass from Lolita. With a name like that, you can’t go wrong. And if you do choose to give a wine glass, make sure to supply a bottle of wine as well. Giving a glass without something to put in it is like giving a box of chocolate with empty wrappers. It’s just not done!!!
From experience, I can attest to bath and body care products being a very welcome gift. One of my personal favorites is L’Occitane. Their shea butter collection is superb, and lasts a long time. This year I am angling for the Peony Gift Set. I have a fondness for peonies and geraniums due to my late grandmother’s beautiful garden full of them. I have a fondness for precious stones, too, but it’s easier to hint for this set instead.
Last but not least, what would a gift post be without Think Geek??? Pretty lame, I can tell you that. This post’s pick of the day is the capsaicin molecule shirt:
Because we moms are HAWT!! Have a great Mother’s Day!!!

Hmm….
This year, I’m going for a bottle of Riesling (auslese), a few big cup Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, and maybe a steak dinner that night.
I don’t do breakfasts, cause generally you can use the results to play a pretty good game of baseball with, lol.
Speaking of Mother’s Day, the worst event I have ever witnessed was what happened to my wife’s close friend. She has MS and was doing badly (she had just been released from the hospital that week), and her bastard of a husband announced that he was leaving her for another woman, and then on Mother’s Day, he took his kids out to dinner with the new woman and left his wife at home by herself.
What’s truly incomprehensible is that the fuckwad begged to come back home a couple months later, and my wife’s friend let him.
I offered my services for free, but it seems she needs the bastard alive and able to work, as she needs the medical insurance. Oh well.
My Paternal Unit is getting her a a flower for the Maternal Units’ Day. I think that it is likely that she will be pleased. Alas, I do not have the resources to procure such posh posies myself and will have to search for some lesser pecuniary impactful solution.
Enas, I want your paternal unit to adopt me.
Those necklaces have always had an appealing design. My mom isn’t into the sentimental stuff though. But she has all the Tick and Nightmare Before Christmas toys that are out there. She may have to settle for a necklace.
CF, I love auslese and spatlese wines. Franken wines are very good with chocolate
I wonder if I’ll score the glass and a bottle this year??
“Franken wines are very good with chocolate”
Uh, Al makes wine? I’m surprised you would buy, let alone consume his stuff.
Wrong Franken, CF….that Franken only makes whine.
