Pampering is tops for most mums

(From SMH)

"Cleaning products are the worst gift mothers could receive on Mother's Day, an online survey found.

Garden tools, kitchen appliances and ill-fitting clothing were also on the list of dud presents. But the major no-no was no acknowledgement of Mother's Day at all.

Topping the wish list was pampering, with a third of mothers saying their first-choice gift was a treatment such as a massage with babysitting included.

Also popular were holidays, hand-made gifts or dinners with the family.

Scoring surprisingly low marks were traditional presents such as chocolates and perfume, with just 2 per cent indicating this preference. Only 3 per cent wanted flowers, and 4 per cent wanted jewellery.

The survey of 1595 mothers was by parenting website Essential Baby."

It's not hard to understand why cleaning products would be a mother's worst nightmare on Mother's Day! The surprisingly unpopular gift is kitchen appliances...all those mother's day catalogues seems to advertise a fair bit of kitchen appliances
