Would you buy the attached bracelet for anyone other than your own mother?

Thanks (settling an argument)

Yes I would, for a close friend who just had a baby etc

(I mean I wouldn’t, as I think it’s a bit naff and not very nice, but for the purposes of the argument then yes)

If it was for my wife from the kids maybe?

Or as PP said for a friend that is a new mum?

I wouldn't buy it for anyone! "Mama" ?? It's a bit (a lot) tacky. Sorry.

But if I did like it then no...I would not buy it for anyone but my own Mother. Maybe my daughter if she'd just become a parent.

Only if they were the mother of my child.

If anyone other than DP or DM had bought me something like that when I had DD I would have been very Hmm about it.

Agree its naff though!

I’d not buy it for anyone but could see someone giving it to a first time mum (baby’s other parent, friend, maybe even an older child). It’s quite er, oh I don’t know, naff is the word that springs to mind with it being one of those 90’s style string bracelets that I remember being popular! But it’s very personal, jewellery, some people may still love that style!

Thanks for the insight, bracelet was just chosen at random for ease of description but it was another form of 'mama/mother' jewellery

That screams 1980's Argos. I wouldn't even buy that for my own mother.

Well you have to tell us more of the story now OP! Who was arguing about it?
