Browsing a local Facebook selling page with someone asking about Mother’s Day gifts. Someone posted this beautiful bundle (amongst other Facebook shit bundles they are putting together).

Why would you even market this crap as Mother’s Day gift? Facebook marketplace truly is the gift that keeps giving.

Mrs Hinch's kid? Grin

Those rubber gloves would be very handy, given what I would be tempted to do with that can.

Can just see my mother’s face if I turned up with that 😄😄

Surely it's a joke. Please tell me it's a joke.

yahyahs22 · 08/03/2021 17:22

I would find this funny as long as it came with a REAL gift!

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 08/03/2021 17:23

My kids would unfortunately think that was hilarious!

Wow

AryaStarkWolf · 08/03/2021 17:24

Horrific!! :p

Planty13 · 08/03/2021 17:25

Reminds my of how I bought my mum an iron when I was ten 🤦🏼‍♀️

devildeepbluesea · 08/03/2021 17:25

🤣🤣🤣

It's not as bad as the one on the other thread that contains vagisil Dick Lick & lube. FOR MOTHER'S DAY!! I'm on my phone so can't copy the thread across.

SnuggyBuggy · 08/03/2021 17:26

I'm such a slattern I can imagine DH getting the DC to buy that for me

TrialOfStyle · 08/03/2021 17:27

I don’t actually think it is a joke. It’s one of those sellers who makes a bundle out of any old rubbish lying round the house.

If that turns up as a gift, I will be busy spending the day digging up the patio. It’s needed redoing for a while.

Grin I haven’t seen that thread, but that might well be the winner.

I've seen epilators advertised as Mothers Day gifts which struck me as a bit strange.

Carolina24 · 08/03/2021 17:28

That is an absolute shocker. How completely depressing!

strudsespark · 08/03/2021 17:33

Guess it will come in handy after the murder Confused.

I saw a few of these for Valentine's Day too - shite plastic crates with Zoflora and cleaning cloths and Pink Stuff in. As though 1. cleaning is a hobby and 2. household supplies are a gift.

It's my personal bugbear at the moment - cleaning as a 'fun hobby' for women (cheers, Hinch). How many lazy arse men are out there going "Ah babe, you LOVE cleaning up, you're dead good at it aren't ya, get hinching" instead of contributing? I know a good handful who personally who post themselves off to the golf course of a Sunday with the caption "While the missus does her favourite thing I do mine" and she's at home cracking the Marigolds on.

Ineedaweeee · 08/03/2021 17:48

Ohh my that is the fugliest gift I have ever seen 🤣🤣🤣

iklboo · 08/03/2021 17:49

It's called Mothers Day Facebook Tat. Almost as good are the tampon cake-pops (can use lumpy jam if preferred).

Reminds me of the Christmas where DSDad bought my DMum an iron, and what a blessed day that was!

BRB2021 · 08/03/2021 18:01

Our local FB page is doing chocolate bars with "Sorry I ruined your vagina" on them - with an imprint of one! Dont appear to be very popular ...

Ohdofuckofdear · 08/03/2021 18:02

Not quite as bad as the company advertising a butt plug as a mother's day present Confused (on the other thread a pp mentioned)you have to really wonder about some people's idea of a suitable gift for your DM.

peak2021 · 08/03/2021 18:05

Probably better as a Father's Day gift, especially for the tea cup throwing DH without enough dry pants!
