Default WORST Place for lazy people to buy Mother's Day gifts?
Daughter was prepping for an in class interview yesterday so we will celebrate MD next weekend.

So I was at various places yesterday and saw lazy people buying things for their mother at various times of the day.

Where is the worst place to buy for these lazy cretins?

POLE incoming.

For the record. I had to pick up a prescription about 10:30 yesterday. There were no fewer than 30 people in the 2 greeting card aisle.
Doing the weekly shopping saw MANY people just going in and buying flowers, plants and balloons.
One in front of me at the gas station bought his mom a $50 scratch ticket for MD.

Definitely the gas station.

The supermarkets near me actually have some good flower selections that are typically cheaper and last longer than a florist or an online delivery service.

You would totally assume wrong. I can't tell you how many times I've had to wait to receive gifts because they haven't arrived yet. My wife is a huge procrastinator.

She got her Mom a gift card to Walmart since she's on a fixed income. Of course part of that is her fault since she still hasn't gone to social security to get her husbands benefits for the last 6 years he's been dead.

I am confused by this poll. What do you/did you get your mother for Mother's Day? What is an appropriate gift?

According to my sister, Trader Joe's is to flowers what choo choos are to foamers

Local flower shops are somewhat sus too. I've had flowers from Kroger that look better and last longer than some of the stuff I've gotten from local shops. Don't get me started on 1-800 flowers etc...

I would say celebrating Mother's day next weekend instead of yesterday like 99.9% of the rest of the people did is lazy, but what do I know.

1 star

My mom got cash and my son picked out two baseball-related Pandora charms from Pandora for my wife.
