so, last week i did a post about things that i would like for mother's day. after seeing all of the ads in the paper on sunday, i thought i should now do one about the things i DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES want. ever. i am amazed at the crap the stores always want to push for mothers, especially in the jewelry department. now, i'd like it stated for the record that i am not opposed to all forms of 'mothers jewelry', just these particular lovelies:
this: (although i admit to having one of these back in 1997. i have no defense--i fell victim.)
or anything that says "mom" like these:
especially anything that combines the word 'mom' with a heart, which i hate because my sister hates hearts and sometimes she rubs off.....
and, finally, the mother of all mother's day no-no's for mindi:
this is the mother of all mother's rings and i JUST CAN'T.
this ring tells me that the husband doesn't know how to give gifts. and it makes me even more grateful for russ because he's an excellent gift giver. the BEST, in fact.
n purchase this with their low-interest, 72 month financing options. at 25% interest.
ailable with a low-interest, 72 month e-z payment plan.

Wowsa-those are bee-u-ti-ful! The only way it could be better would be having the mom and gold fit onto my front tooth.
Crap. Off to the flea market to return your prize.
Nah, no one sells those things, I refuse to believe it.
I bet those babies come free in marked boxes of cereal.
Oh.my. Those are hideous. I should forward this post to my husband. Those seem like things he would buy me.
W.O.W.! Those are some mother ugly pieces of jewelry. I especially love the black heart piece with gold trim to make it look like a crown. So special. I love me a heart.
Caylor has teased all week that he is going to buy me the mother/child pendant. He keeps humming the theme song from "Every kiss begins with Kay" and aksing me, " If you were to buy yourself a beautiful gold necklace with a mother and child pendant...what size would you buy yourself?" He also saw the floral arrangement from Telefloral's America's Favorite Mom necklace and lovely bouquet and was VERY interested.
those rings are phat! i need to get me one of those bad boys. i'll wear my mommy bling like i own it(well, i guess if i'm wearing it i would actually be the owner). never mind. i'm stupid.
My husband would totally buy one or more of these atrocious works of art, just to see the look of shock/horror/disgust on my face.
I know you're down south, but I bet if you listen real hard, you can hear me laughing. And shrieking. And then laughing some more.
All I have to say is YIKES.
ugh. with ya on these mindi. You speak for the mothers!!!!!!
I still have many people in my world that love this kind of stuff so I better not be too harsh, but they are bad (the jewelry, not people) and very much "has beens!" I remember liking some of them myself! Thank heaven's for change and trends! I think the "Mother's Day board of marketing" ought to look into a little more chunky, funky, sassy stuff!! What the heck, forget about anything that says mom and bring on the gift certificates, pink bikes, Brighton jewelry and much more!
OHHH, so hard to choose my favorite! I think that it is always nice to be able to use your ring with your children's names on it as a way of self defence, and I do not like hearts either.
I think my family knows me well enough NOT to buy anything like this for me. . . I hope! Actually, I could see my MIL getting me something like this - but then again, she usually buys me some type of CLEANING PRODUCT for a gift. Oh so thoughtful.
Your husband is probably reading this right now and saying "Oh crap!", now what am I going to get her?
Awesomely bad.
WOW.
Dang.
I heart you cuz you hate those things!...me too...
