No matter how close you are to your mother, a Mother’s Day gift that says, “Mom, I think your bikini line needs some help” will probably not be well received.

Anthony received a newsletter from Philips with Mother’s Day gift ideas. Most of the gifts were nice, but he found one a bit…inappropriate.

I got an email from Philips this morning entitled ” Make your mom feel special on Mother’s Day”. The second item on the list is something that I don’t really think makes a good Mother’s Day gift, especially since it references “bonzai Bikini lines”. But maybe I’m just a prude like that.

No. It’s not just you.
