Mother’s Day is almost here and your mom deserves a lovely gift for all she’s done for you… but you’re a busy person who really needs to stock up on some groceries, like bread and stuff. No Frills sells everything, so why not get a nice gift for your mom there, and also some bread and stuff?
Here are 5 discount grocery store Mother’s Day gifts and our tips for disguising where you got them from the woman who carried you for over nine months:
1. Baguette and small wheel of brie
You mother has always wanted to go to Paris, and was so excited to see the pictures from all the times you went. Now you can take her on a culinary trip to the City of Light, for less than 10 bucks! It’s the accent that’ll sell this one, so really go all out rolling those Rs. No, wait, that’s Spanish. Well, do your best.
2. Squished box of chocolates
The box is a little worse for wear, but that doesn’t matter, it’s what on the inside that counts. You’re pretty sure your mom likes dark chocolate, right? Or does she hate dark chocolate? Hmm, well, she’ll say she loves it no matter what, and that’s the important thing. Throw it in the fancy gift bag you have left over from the thoughtful gift she got you a few Christmases ago, and she’ll be just as impressed as you were.
3. Package of little powdered donuts that expires today
Life is fleeting and precious, and nothing will encourage your mother to appreciate that fact like sweet treats that she really needs to eat today because they’re already starting to get a little dry. Tell her they’re from a tiny bakery near where you live. She won’t know the difference, she doesn’t know your neighbourhood very well because you never invite her over.
4. Bag of flour
Okay, you left it for too long and now all the good-ish gifts are gone, but moms love flowers, so get her some flour. Homophone for the win! Buy two bags and give her flours, to show her how clever your wordplay is! Plus, she loves baking for you, so it’s really three gifts you’ll be getting her.
5. Bag of onions
Dice the onions, make yourself cry, and make a video diary about what your mom means to you. Your mother will be touched. This gift only works if you’re not in the same room as her, in which case she will likely spot or smell the onions. She’s so observant when it comes to you, because of how much she loves you.
Follow these tips and your mom will have no choice but to be impressed. She’ll respect your creativity, your frugality, your grind, and your hustle, because she’s always rooting for you, no matter how badly you disappoint her.
