I got an email from Philips this morning entitled " Make your mom feel special on Mother's Day". The second item on the list is something that I don't really think makes a good Mother's Day gift, especially since it references "bonzai Bikini lines". But maybe I'm just a prude like that.
No. It's not just you.

]]>Gifts that make my mother feel pretty, using the definition of "pretty" used by a five-year-old, are okay. Buying a gift meant to increase the "sexy" factor is best left to the people who are most appropriatly suited to determining sexiness: spouses.
I do remember my dad got the "EpiLady" once for my mom. That didn't go over well at all.
]]>This sounds like something Norman Bates might buy for his mom.
]]>its a perfect gift for your mom, only if she is a Couger
]]>Mother would be irritated that I paid fifty bucks for a twenty dollar mustache trimmer.
]]>Hmm, reminds me of an ad ran this last Christmas, "Get the one you love the perfect gift, a prostate exam." Love you too honey!
]]>Just last week I was giving myself a pedicure and my husband asked "Why aren't you using your ped-egg?" I said it was because I did not want my heels to look like shredded carrots. I prefer a pumice stone.
]]>@ColoradoShark:
..and to think I always heard Banzai! when they came at me with those big steak knives from Ginsu...
]]>"bonzai" is more of a rallying cry before charging into battle.
For those wikipedians reading this, my reference is "The Karate Kid" when Mr. Miyagi gets stinking drunk.
]]>@PersonalBest: Yeah. My mom got me a cookbook and a fire extinguisher.
]]>I received a bikini/stray hair/ladystache trimmer (it had several interchangeable heads, and helpful photos on the packaging showing its myriad uses) from my Mom, for Christmas. It was not mixed in with other gifts, it was the only gift I got, so I couldn't sort of hide it under lots if torn up wrapping paper. Bonus: it was the 1st Christmas that my now-husband spent with me & my family.
Meeeeeeeery Christmas!
]]>@Lucifer_Cat: Yup brothers torturing each other never goes out of style...
]]>@WolfBaconFlavorMANGURT_GitEmSteveDave:
NJ needs to start small - say with the upper facial lip and work their way down from there...
{I am an ex-Shore NJ guy with Sicilian heritage so I get to joke about this... especially with my hair ball female cousins.}
]]>@Canino: And wait in insane lines if you actually try and brave the herds err crowds of folks who are "takin' Mamma out to ett".
The only worse eat out holiday is the perfect-storm Valentine's Day that falls on a Saturday- just try getting a two-up table to eat out that night...
Now there are the privledged few who get to take their mother fishing on the lake for Mother's Day...
]]>I still chuckled though.
]]>Ha ha! I really need to stop reading the posts while taking a sip of my drink!
]]>The photo reminds me of this video from Schick:

But this could be handy if you're in NJ where we banned the "Brazilian Wax".
]]>@Canino:
A man hasta have his priorities.
]]>Damn right.
]]>Ugh - another made up "holiday" that keeps me from being out on the lake fishing.
]]>You stay classy Consumerist!
]]>If you have an Oedipus complex...
]]>I would be distrubed if I saw this in my mom's house, now way would I buy it for her
]]>But... If your wife also happens to be a mother...
Just sayin.
