Whenever I asked my mom what she wanted for Mother's Day, she would always say nothing. "You're the best gift I've received," she'd explain. That was the worst response I could get. It made me try even harder, yet it was no help in coming up with particular gift ideas. And I bet quite a few kids who made it to this list have had the same thing happen to them. Bored Panda has collected a list of some of the funniest Mother's Day gifts children have ever presented and it's probably safe to assume that they were way better than what their moms could've asked for. So continue scrolling, enjoy the funny gifts, and upvote your faves!

Still Killing It On Mother’s Day
Molly Block 6 years ago
Took me a moment to notice the glued on macaronis. And the writing sure looks like it was done with nail polish. I've written things myself with nail polish, hahahah.
Anna Jarvis is the one who's most often credited with founding Mother's Day in the United States. Designated as the second Sunday in May by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914, aspects of that holiday have since spread all over the world, sometimes mingling with other local traditions. Jarvis took great pains to acquire and defend her title as “Mother of Mother's Day,” and to focus the day primarily on children celebrating their mothers.

Our Gift For Mother's Day
But, as National Geographic points out, others had the idea first, and with different agendas. Julia Ward Howe, better known for writing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," promoted a Mothers’ Peace Day as early as 1872. For Howe and other antiwar activists, including Anna Jarvis's mother, Mother's Day was a way to promote global unity after the horrors of the American Civil War and Europe’s Franco-Prussian War.

My Mom Wanted A Nice Picture Of Me And My Sister For Mother's Day. Well She's Getting These Instead
Gracie Mae 6 years ago
and these will end up on some "awkward photos" site somewhere, taken out of context...funny though!
Frank E. Hering, a former football coach and faculty member at University of Notre Dame, also promoted the idea of a Mother's Day before Anna Jarvis. In 1904, Hering spoke to an Indianapolis gathering of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, calling for support to “setting aside of one day in the year as a nationwide memorial to the memory of Mothers and motherhood.”
He didn't suggest a specific date for the occasion, though he did mention that Mother's Day should be held on a Sunday. Local “aeries” of the Fraternal Order of Eagles took up Hering's challenge. To this day, the organization still holds Hering and the Eagles as the “true founders of Mother's Day.”

I Wasn't A Planned Baby. This Is The Card I Got My Mom For Mother's Day
Anna Jarvis did not like the idea of Mother's Day having a "father." She blasted Hering in an undated 1920s statement entitled “Kidnapping Mother’s Day: Will You Be an Accomplice?”
"Do me the justice of refraining from furthering the selfish interests of this claimant," Jarvis said, "who is making a desperate effort to snatch from me the rightful title of originator and founder of Mother’s Day, established by me after decades of untold labor, time, and expense."

Like the birthday card I got from my sister "Happy Birthday Sister! You remember all those times I picked on you, harassed you and made your life a living Hell." Inside: "I'm not done yet!"

Aw. I love that he made more than one of them. I also love that they have expiration dates on them.

My Friend's Last Minute Mother’s Day Gift

This one is perfect. My sister is the definition of spoiled brat to proud to talk to our mother after an arguement 10 years ago. I've always been moms favourite
Michelle Dodson 6 years ago
My husband (we have no children together) waited until the last minute to buy me a Mother's Day card. The only thing he could find at our local store was in Spanish. Yet another weird tradition was born. That was 10 years ago and I still get a card in Spanish every year.
Gracie Mae 6 years ago
while we don't buy this type of card, my sister & i regularly trade barbs like this on our fb posts--then wait to see how long it takes the other to see it & respond! (we're in our 50s). sometimes Mom even throws a zinger of a comment when she sees them!

No just self protective I think, Young kids brains are NOT the same as adults. I am with the kid, being forced to do something like this is counter productive ( to my old brain anyway)

When I was about 4 years old, my mom had to drop something off at my dad's workplace and she brought me along. When we got there, I ran up to him and said, "I love you so much, Daddy! We made you a brownie. But I guess I don't love you that much because I ate it in the car." Hahaha! It hurt his feelings, so I told him I would love him again later and make him another brownie.

She Said It's A Hand Pointing To Me. Happy Mother's Day To Me
Jarno Flinkers 6 years ago
The drawings are like a rebus: Eye (I) - heart (Love) - penis (Penis) - Woman (Mom). I bet this kid is trying to tell you something, mom. Have a talk.
Jennyne 6 years ago
Almost: I think it reads: mom saw (eye) a handsome man, fell in love (heart), found his penis (penis) and out came a daughter (girl). She's right on target!

My Biology teacher is pregnant right now, she had her 30th birthday last week, when we came in the room had 30 balloons drawn on paper. Someone thought it was sperm as we were learning about sex cell recreation. And I will never see balloons as anything but sperm now.

My Mom Has Been Complaining About This School Picture For Almost 20 Years Now. I Decided To Immortalize It For Her For Mother's Day
trix 6 years ago
Oh god my mum did this to me. There was this horrible primary school picture of mine, with missing teeth, baby fat, horrible 90's hair cut and some sticker earrings. I hid it everytime I went to her house and she found it everytime and put it on display. This went on for about 2-3 years. Then this time, I took it with me, ripped it into pieces and threw it in a bin. Thought "game over mama". Next time I went to my mum's, with my boyfriend and his sister, there it was, a huge, 1 metre tall picture of mine on the wall, not only that, she had it printed on a blanket and put it on my old bed. she obviously had a copy of the picture and I realized that day, never mess with your maker.

Across the top of the card it says something, but I can't read the first word. Then it says "many names", so I'm guessing he's saying something about how mom has so many names, including taxi driver to the kid.

First if all, teachers are very busy and we don't know if she looked at that before actually putting two and two together or if she just said okay kids if you're done with your flowers go put them in your book bag, stop being a jerk, also it's not like the mom could just throw it out you don't do that to something that your kid gives you

Love this! I've been hearing a lot of discussions lately that buying cards for mothers don't mean as much as a hand made gift but screw that bull because we don't necessarily need an 100% hand made gift to show we care . In the end, it's the thoughts that count ;) Happy Mother's Day Pandas!
Frozengeckolover 6 years ago
I didn't always make my mom a handmade gift; sometimes it was just a card. One year, I made her a papier-mache butterfly pin, hand painted it, and put rhinestone jewels on it. It wasn't perfect, but she loved it. I was surprise to learn she still has it, decades later.

When i buy cards, I stand around and read them until i find the one that 'fits' how i feel. one year, i guess i must've gotten tired of reading all the cards, because the one Mom ended up with said, "To someone who's been like a Mom to me" --we laughed when she pointed it out. She also understood since she's seen me picking out cards before & knows how long it can take. After that though, we would go shopping together, stand in the card section, and pick out cards for each other--without buying them...forgot to give Mom her card yesterday (yep, bought one!) & sent her a msg to apologize. her comment? "thank you. you mean i don't have to go to the store to read it?"
