There are good Mother's Day gifts and bad Mother's Day gifts. Mom's are smart cookies. They know what you're really saying when you give them a gift, so therefore if you're not careful, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot. Some of you may have already chosen a gift for your mom but if not Cheers to You wants to help you out. So instead of going with your gut reaction and buying the first thing that comes to mind, consider what your gift choice says about you.
Cheers to You has compiled a list of no-no's that only a drunk would get their mother, along with a few recommenations to get instead! Happy shoppin'.
1)

Bouqet of Fruit FlowersStartFragment
Why it's a bad idea: It's Just Lame
What Youre Really Saying: " I spent 5 minutes looking for a gift and I overpaid for an assortment of sliced fruit."
Recommendation: Say she Likes sweet? Go with Wild Tourkey Bourbon instad. It's as smooth as a baby's bottom and drinks like a Capri Sun.
2)

A magazine subscription to a health magazine
Why it's a bad idea: Mom's are good at reading between the lines. You might be unintentionally saying something you'll regret later.
What you're really saying: " Mom, you're a little obese and you might want to eat healthier".
Recommendation: Get your mom the book The Vodka Bible.There's only 64 caloires in 1.5 ounces of vodka. On top of that she'll love learning how to make some new drinks.

A Mother's Day gift card
Why it's a bad idea: It's the idea that counts not the cash.
What you're really saying: " Wait, it's Mother's Day this Sunday!?...oops."
Recommendation: You might think a gift card has the potential to buy whatever she wants -but Cheers can do you one better.Get Mom a shot glass set so she can shoot the finest whiskeys cand think of you while she does it! It's a no-brainer.

A Mother's Day Desk Calendar/ Planner
Why it's a bad idea: You should have given it to her in January, idiot.
What you're really saying: Mom, you're becoming senile and can't remember stuff very well.
Recommendation: Gift her an iphone app called "It's 5:00 Somewhere" instead. Old age tends to reck havoc on teh memory- that's just the way it goes. But with this app she'll be rest assured never to fortget the time to hang up the hat for the day and head to Cheers to You.

Graphic Art Mother's Day Pillow
Why it's a bad idea: It's cliche.
What you're really saying: "I thought you'd enjoy this ugly pillow you'll use once a year".
Recommendation: Buy Mom a flask. Instead of a seasonal gift she'll appreciate once a year, you might as well get her something she can use everyday!
