Flowers intended for the dead, Verbal IOU, Motorcycle parts (for his bike) top the list.
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, May 7, 2013 –What’s the worst Mother’s Day gift you’ve ever gotten – or given? That’s the question Money Talks News posed to its readers last week, and they did not hold back!
You don’t have to spend a fortune to make Mom happy. Money Talks News Founder and personal finance expert Stacy Johnson is available for interviews today through Sunday to explain how to do it – and how not to!
Some of the tales of woe Stacy can share:
– “I was so impressed with all the pretty floral decorations and picked out one shaped like a bible with pretty blue roses that said MOM” – Funeral Flowers
– “…said he owed me an IOU, when he noticed the discontent expression on my face, he then claimed, I take it back…”
– “a pair of ice skates….never ice skated in my life…..it is May….and by the way honey…I am pregnant…not a good time to learn”
Other notable gifts included hammers, shotguns, lawnmowers, a round of golf for the husband, and chrome for his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Gentlemen, we can do better!
