You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll cringe! On this week’s episode of Spawned, we’ve got a totally candid and hilarious discussion about the very worst Mother’s Day gifts ever. Like, these are all pitches that have actually shown up in our inboxes, from the absurd to the banal to the totally ridiculous.

(No, we do not want to get our moms “the ultimate bikini wax” for Mother’s Day, even at a discount, but uh, thanks anyway PR person?)

On the other hand, a great place to find Mother’s Day gifts: Our 2017 Mother’s Day Gift Guide, of course.

We’ve also got great Mother’s Day tech gifts on Cool Mom Tech, and plenty of fab food ideas for Mother’s Day brunch and beyond, on Cool Mom Eats. We’re here for you!

Listen to this week’s episode now, or just find Spawned with Kristen + Liz on iTunes. And be sure to subscribe to our feed so you never miss a week!

 

 

And if you have any questions, ideas, or funny gift stories of your own, we’d love to hear them! Shoot us an email at spawned@mompicksprod.wpengine.com, leave a comment right here, or find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Also… a huge thanks to every one of our listeners who has left such nice ratings and reviews on iTunes lately! A big kiss to each of you from both of us.
