Mother’s Day Gifts To Make Your Mom Hate You
7 May 2008, 5:30 PM. By Daniel Mauser
Women’s Wear Daily asked “young professionals” what they would be getting their moms as Mother’s Day present this year. “A short phone call, if I’m not that hungover,” was curiously left off the list. We’re just innovative, apparrently:
Name: Jenny Sequeira
Age: 29
Daughter’s home: Las Vegas
Mother’s home: Las Vegas
Gift: Jaclyn Smith summer shirt and crop white pants with
tie belt.
Store: Kmart
Price: $30
Why: “My mom loves flowing, sheer materials and the print was exotic and attractive. Plus it is easily washed, easily returned if she doesn’t like it, and she likes Jaclyn Smith’s women’s collection of casual clothes.”
Your mom is going to hate you. You horrid colonialist.
Name: Allison Conrad
Age: 27
Daughter’s home: Manhattan
Mother’s home: San Diego
Gift: “Custom baby onesies and a custom skirt from my own line, Allie Anne.”
Store: “My studio.” (upcoming at allisonanne.com)
Price: $15 to $45
Why: “My mom just became a first-time grandma in April, so these are really for the baby. But I am also giving her a custom skirt from my skirt line to make up for it.”
Allison Conrad? Is selfish. This is like the time we tried to pass of going on birth control as a present for our boyfriend.
Name: Christine Lee
Age: 23
Daughter’s home: Manhattan
Mother’s home: Seoul
Gift: Chanel teardrop diamond earrings.
Store: Chanel
Price: $200
Why: “Although she lives 20 hours away from me [by plane], we still wear matching earrings and purses every day. Every pair of Chanel earrings I own, she ends up falling in love with so we swap or purchase an alternate pair. This time I purchased two sets of the Chanel earrings for both of us to enjoy.”
Chanel earrings, hm? So, can you adopt a daughter that’s your same age? Sure, right?
Take our advice and don’t buy anyone any present for any occasion, ever. Sooner or later, people will stop glaring at you over Noche Buena dinner and the sounds of your little cousins sobbing into their birthday cakes will give way to the soothing quietness of your empty apartment. Ah! That’s more like it.

my mom always thinks she entitled to 2 presents, one for the US Mothers day since she lives in the US and one for Mexico’s Mothers day since she’s Mexican.
My mom would straight up laugh me right out of her house if I showed up with crop pants and a tie belt as a gift.
Oprah’s TV show saying is, “Give big or go home.” In my family it’s, “Give booze or go home.” Mama is getting some vino and a 12-pack.
