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.

@ladygindiva

Christ if I bought that for my mum as a "gift" it would be like reliving Christmas 1992 when my dad bought her saucepans as her main present. And that's a family memory best left buried.

My partner asked me to get his Mother's Day card, as he was apparently too busy!
I work full time, so I went out and got him a card but I was so pissed off at him, thinking I could pick up the slack.
I purchased a card and signed it and sent it off to his mum.
He never asked me again to get a card as I sent a card to his very prim mum "sorry I ruined your fanny"

I’m too scared to Google it
Wtf is Dick Lick..?

catzrulz · 08/03/2021 19:42

@Teenangels well done!
The first Christmas we spent with our in laws to be, SiL's dad had bought his wife a NoNo. That was a fun day, for us but not her.

PurplePrimula · 08/03/2021 19:47

It's fantabulous babe. If you can just find the seller who is making "Happy Drudges Day" cards to go with it, that'll be perfick.

(Please, Lord, don't let anybody think I am being serious)

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 08/03/2021 19:47

I have no idea what any of the stuff is or what it’s for?

Paleodiet · 08/03/2021 19:54

I would laugh it off! It would save me shopping for these products. However, I have been told there will be a package for me on the door step and I always receive flowers...

iklboo · 08/03/2021 19:56

Dick lick is (apparently) a flavoured product to use on a penis so it tastes 'nice' for the person giving oral.

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

I would love to reply to said sorry men shower you enjoy your hole in one babe, I'm fucking off to Cyprus, enjoy the shit tip as I might not be back Grin

Blueroses99 · 08/03/2021 20:20

Just mentioned this thread to 2 people - one said that they would love the cleaning bundle, and the other said that it would be their MILs ideal gift. Do I have strange friends? 😂

YouKnowItsTrue · 08/03/2021 20:22

Please tell me the dick lick hamper is a joke.

MarieFromStTropez · 08/03/2021 20:23

Oh, I’d love that Grin !

HiyaMeAgain · 08/03/2021 20:27

This reminds me off when my live in boyfriend bought me a kitchen bin for Christmas...because I needed a new one!!!
We are no longer together!

HiyaMeAgain · 08/03/2021 20:29

@Itsmemaggie a Nono is a facial hair remover for women 😂😂

TrialOfStyle · 08/03/2021 20:29

Without getting into some dark rant about this, I’d love to know what man would say he would love this. Or comments like ‘well it saves me on the shopping’. I thought it was depressing but also kind of hilarious as I’m sure in 2021 women should expect a bit more consideration for the person they are. There’s something shocking about women who’s entire personalities are wrapped up in what they can do for the family/ house and they should be appreciative of that. And I really don’t blame the individual woman for that either. It’s just shit that even now, this is considered a gift for someone and any woman is okay with that.

Anyway, rant over. I’m going to upset my family now with my new noisy hobby (it’s not hoovering Wink).

Shock Shock

That’s called ‘water’ where I’m from

Is it like those flavoured lip balms that leave a waxy coconut or strawberry taste for hours afterwards?

MoiJeJous · 08/03/2021 20:45

I would actually like it Grin

Happycat1212 · 08/03/2021 20:46

Dick lick must have been from a Valentine’s hamper that didn’t sell surely so they’ve just put it in the Mother’s Day one ? Hmm

Shnuffles · 08/03/2021 21:15

Cleaning supplies as a gift? Not unless it's a joke.

But not all women (or men) would be upset about a gift "for the home". In my family, we frequently ask for wish lists around gift-giving occasions, and it's not uncommon for someone to express a wish for small appliances, a new pan, a specific type of dishes, etc. It depends on the person and the circumstances, of course, but not everyone is angry or disappointed to receive practical gifts.

sammyjoanne · 08/03/2021 21:26

what is this? 1950s marketplace?

MatLeave · 08/03/2021 21:28

It looks like the Vagisil has had some squeezed out of it already.
