What was your worst/best Mother's Day gift ever?

May 13, 2012 12:38 PM

So moms it's your day, but we all know that sometimes the gift giver means well, but the gift may not convey those wonderful sentiments, other times you get a gift and it is over the top on the mark and perfect. So what has been the best Mothers gift and/or what has been the worst?

Best gift: a set of stick-on mustaches, one for every day of the week.

No worst gift, everything was given with love.

My worst was 2 years ago... I had a beautiful card and nice gift planned, but I wanted to present it perfectly. So I waited until after church, and was planning on presenting it right after lunch, but apparently I waited too long and my mom thought I had just forgotten it completely. She started crying... I felt like the most horrible son on the face of the planet D=

Worst: I had left (fled) my abusive ex and was in the process of filing for divorce a couple years ago. He insisted on coming over that day to see the kids at lunch. Against my better judgment, I agreed. I had no clue what his real intentions were. He showed up with a bouquet of flowers, a card from him signed "Your husband", and some gift cards. No mention that these gifts were from the kids. I guess it was one more attempt at trying to win me back. It was awful, and the feeling I had after he left had me in tears half the day.

Best: This year. The kids had no outside help from family whatsoever and gave me lots of little things all on their own for the first time. There was no cost involved for them (everything was handmade), and they put some thought and a lot of love into each one. It was honestly the first Mother's Day ever where I finally received gifts from my kids. Oh, and they also cooked dinner (with some help) for me. :)

3 years ago, we went shopping, and I was obvious at pointing out things I would like. The worst present was hubby saying, "I thought of getting you that." Then not getting anything or a card. It's all about actually doing something (large or small)

Who ever said "it's the thought that counts" is full of crap.

For the guys out there, how would you feel if your person said, "I was going to give you a BJ but I changed my mind." Are you going to say that it's the thought that counts?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
