Funny Mother's Day Gifts: Tees, Mugs, Hoodies & Hats
Part of funny gifts guide
Mother's Day has an odd rule: the card is supposed to make her cry, and the gift is supposed to make her laugh before she does. These funny Mother's Day gifts are for the mom with a sarcastic streak, from the kids who inherited it. Sarcastic, dark-humor mugs, tees, hats, hoodies, sweatshirts and long sleeves, sorted by what kind of mom is on the receiving end, with every joke explained so the card can stay short.
The mom who is done and says so
She has parented through everything and would like it known that the job comes with no sick days. The funny Mother's Day gifts and Mother's Day sweatshirts shelves speak for her.
"Was a mom until I quit" t-shirt
"Was a mom until I quit" is a resignation letter for the one job nobody can leave. The funniest part is the past tense: she is still on call for every one of the children she is pretending to have left. A tee in Heather Mint, because she has earned something calm.
"Hopefully not a mother ...again" sweatshirt
"Hopefully not a mother ...again" is the prayer of a woman who loves the children she has and does not plan on a sequel. The ellipsis does the heavy lifting. A fleece-lined sweatshirt in Charcoal Heather, for the mom who is not available for a fifth lunch order.
The mom who is not the typical mom
"I'm more of a Samantha" hoodie
"I'm more of a Samantha" answers the old quiz about which woman on Sex and the City you are: not the romantic, not the lawyer, not the columnist. The mom wearing it has two kids and zero interest in being described as "such a Charlotte." A Dusty Rose hoodie with a pouch pocket.
"Have you seen my mom?" mug
"Have you seen my mom?" is what a lost kid asks in a store, turned around by a mother who has not seen herself since the first child. A black glossy 11 oz mug, dishwasher safe, which is the one thing in the house that is.
From the son or the daughter
The Mother's Day gifts from daughter and from son pages are written in the voice of the child with the best excuse. Each carries an in-joke only the family can read.
"Do you have kids? Want mine?" long sleeve
"Do you have kids? Want mine?" is every parent's last-ditch offer, worded like a yard sale. It never gets accepted, which is the joke. A long sleeve in Maroon, for the mom whose adult children come home for a weekend and stay through the laundry.
"Don't tell my mom" hat
"Don't tell my mom" is what a grown adult still says about the tattoo, the car and the flight to Vegas. Worn by a mom, in an embroidered trucker hat in Pink, it turns the line around: she is still somebody's daughter, and hiding things from her own mother still works.
Grandma, wife and new mom
Mom comes in more than one version. Mother's Day gifts for grandma go to the woman who has outlasted every fad, for wife is for the mother of your children, who has heard all your jokes, and funny gifts for new moms are for the woman three months into no sleep.
"Remind me to remember" hat
"Remind me to remember" is a request that eats itself: you need to remember to be reminded, which is the part that went missing. A trucker hat in navy and white with an adjustable snapback, for the grandma who has stopped apologizing for the lapses.
