17 Funny Mother's Day Gifts

Last updated: 1 month ago

Your mom already has the candle. She doesn't need another tote bag that says "blessed." What she might actually remember — and bring up at dinner three years from now — is the gift that made her laugh until she had to set it down.

Funny gifts for moms get a bad rap for being lazy, but that's only true when they're generic. The ones that land are specific: they know her humor, her running complaints, the jokes that only your family tells. That's not less thoughtful than a spa set. That's more. Find something that sounds exactly like her, and she'll appreciate that you were paying attention.
