Gifts that moms don't want to receive on Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is a few days away, and it’s that one day where we make our moms feel extra special (not that you shouldn’t be making her feel that way every other day, too).

It’s a day to say that we appreciate everything she does for us and along with the "thank you", there’s usually a little gift attached.

So it's important that you get the right gift for her, but according to KTVZ, it seems that there are specific gifts that moms don't want to receive... ever:

Cooking books 

Gifting a cookbook to your mom is like saying you like the lasagne she makes, but she can up her game with something more exotic.

Makeovers

You keep telling your mom that she's beautiful, so why should she need a makeover? Unless you're trying to tell her that her look is dated. Eek! 

My worst of the lot - the household appliance 

I’m pretty sure that this is the very last thing a mom wants on Mother's Day. Most moms spend hours tidying up after us and making the home look nice. Surely there are better gifts than this?

My suggestion would be to use the day to treat your mom to something that she wouldn't usually treat herself to. Perhaps a gift card, flowers, or even a dinner would do the trick.
