Unusual Mother's Day Gift Recommendations

If you reading this page, hoping that you will find something for your mother one Mother's Day, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that you are too late to order anything for this year. The good news is that you are the first one to look for a gift for next year. So tarry not, and start you shopping.

The name of the site is Unusual Mother's Day Gift Recommendations. Every holiday and major gift-giving occasion presents an opportunity for the good folks over at Amazon http://www.amazon.com to put together lists of items to recommend from the millions within their database. For the most part, these lists of recommendations include all the usual suspects — gifts like chocolates and Mother's Day baskets from the gourmet foods section, jewelry, interesting and appropriate book and DVD titles, etc. However, digging a little deeper yesterday turned up some rather odd recommendations coming out of the Home and Garden section.

Among some of the items are the Dewalt Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit (for those mom's who love Monster House, and want to remodel their dining room ala Steve Watson) or the Toro electric Power Shovel Plus (not sure what the Plus is for, but I'm sure mom will). The self cleaning litter box for cats will be a big hit, as would the Kong X-treme Goodie Ship (an upscale dog chew, for those upscale dogs most moms own).

Whatever you decide to get her, I am sure she will love it. The Warp-o-Meter gives this site a 7.5 rating.
