You love your mum, right? So why give her boring Hallmark products where all the fun has been squeezed out of it and covered in kittens and bears wearing bonnets? Why indeed when Folksy is chock full of hundred of items tagged 'Mother's Day'?
It's just that some of those Folksy finds say things about your dear old mum which really should be kept quiet.
Your mother often forgets the names of her offspring - This rather lovely silver necklace by Beach Hut Charm has engraved tags for the absent-minded mothers out there. What was your name again?
Your mother is a secret drinker - A fabric wine bag from plumcottage. Imply you know your mother drinks during the day but do it in style.
Your mother should get in the kitchen and make you pie! - Nothing says 'Happy Mother's Day' like a kitchen utensil, and this Decorated Wooden Spoon from Violetta Handmade is a pretty fancy one.
Your mother resembles a beached whale - Remind your mother that she really should return to the sea with a Driftwood Mantel Clock from Reclaimed Time.
Your mother reeks like something that has fallen into the Bog of Eternal Stench - Tell your mother you're not putting up with her odour any more, with a Mother's Day Scenty Gift Basket from Scentalicious Soy Wax Melts and Burners.
Your mother has a giant ego and doesn't care who knows it - Your mum can wear the fact she thinks she's 'pretty damned amazing thank you very much' with pride, with this Wooden Mother's day heart brooch from Sarah Keyes Jewellery.
Your mother eats too much and snores really loudly - Sometimes when you love someone it's kinder to tell them the truth. Call your mum a porker (but a pretty one) with Felicity the Flower Pig from Thingymapig.
Your mother should be reported to child services - Your evil step mother may be trying to break your fingers, but at least her iPhone will look pretty in this Dysfunctional Family iPhone case from It was Meant to Bee.
Your mother wears army boots - Let's face it. You suspect that your mum might actually be your dad. But there's a card for every occasion, and Mothers Day or Christmas Hand Made Card Flowers Fathers day from Flipper Crafts has got you covered for all your gender-blurred celebrations.
Your mother is a hypochondriac - Say "You're the world's best mum" by giving her Audrey Hepburn on a hankie dispenser from Crackpots. Holly Golightly is always inspiring when you've got a bit of a cold coming on, after all.
Note to mob of angry Folksy sellers who may appear with flaming torches: Here at Crafty Crafty we heart all handmade. They're all fantabulous pieces, and kudos to the fine folks who made them. It's all a bit of mum-insulting fun, with some free promotion for you.
