Store Bath Sets
Handmade Spa Gifts
Don't just grab a random bath set from a department store for Mother's Day, especially if it's not your mom's usual brand.
Any Cleaning Tool
Hobby Supplies
If you use it to do a chore or take care of someone else it's not a gift! Giving cleaning tools to your mom or wife for Mother's Day is a no-no.
Cooking Gear
Something for Just Her
Even if mom likes to cook avoid giving her something that is more for the family than for her.
Generic Bouquet
Spring Planters
There's nothing wrong with giving flowers for Mother's Day, but they can sometimes be a lazy or thoughtless gift too.
Dept Store Candle
Aromatherapy Set
Candles can be a nice gift, but most people grab one as a last minute idea without much thought put in.
