Parent Talk: The Best & Worst of Mother's Day

Mother's Day is coming–just 10 days away now–and Patch wants to know how you plan on celebrating the moms in your life.

Most moms love anything their kids make, whether it's a plant in a styrofoam cup or a handprinted card. Dads and kids can never go wrong with handmade kids gifts.

Yet, we've all heard those great stories of the time dad got mom a new vacuum. Or better yet, the time there was a bowling ball for mom for Mother's Day, and mom wasn't so pleased.

So what gifts aren't on mom's list this year? Here's a sampling of things most moms don't want:

1. Anything weight-loss related. Nothing says "I love you" like saying it's time for a diet or more exercise will do you good. Don't do it.

2. Nothing bath and body. Most moms have enough of this stuff to last a lifetime, and then some. Don't do it.

3. Anything cleaning or household related. This means vacuums, pots and pans and even tools. Don't do it.

4. Something for yourself. Mother's Day is not the time to buy mom the item on your wish list and try to sneak it in as a gift for her. She will see right through you. Don't do it.

5. Anything "World's Greatest Mom". She will never wear the t-shirt, hat or visor and definitely doesn't need one more coffee mug. Don't do it.

Dads, what kind of Mother's Day blunders have you made over the years? What are some of the good gifts you've found and given? Mom's what are some of your best and worst gifts? Tell us in comments.
