HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

I don’t care that Hanna Mon-too-mature has posed “seemingly topless” in Vanity Fair. So I’m not going to talk about it past the sentence following this one. It’s about time it blew over.

I’d like to instead talk about Mothers’ Day and all the really un-wonderful gifts options for that mother you just love to not love. Because let’s face it-they exist. Or..maybe…the mother with the sense of humour, but that my be much harder to come by.

First I’d like to make special mention of the Fat Pig Chocolate Bars:-

This wonderfully delicious chocolate confectionery in attractively pink wrapped squares is sure to offend any mother you love to not love. After she opens the box she will be greeted by the neatly stacked bubble gum pink squares of chocolate goodness and a not on the inside of the lid that declares: “FAT PIG” with a blond girl holding up a pig snout to her nose. It’s all very cute-really-the girl has pigtails and aw, so adorable, but it gets better! After she opens the pretty pink wrapper [which has a piggy snout on it" she will be greeted by the following inscription on thin pink foil:

“Get your snout in this. Shove every single square in your face right now. And do it quick. Or some other fat pig might ask you for a piece. Oink, oink!”

Precious! isn't it? I do believe it is the perfect way to tell any chocolate lover you love to not love that you do not love them, and if they are not easily offended they might even get some good oinkganic milk chocolate out of it. Yum!

Secondly, Morbid Furniture:-

What better way to get the message across that to buy someone couch in the shape of a coffin? No better way, actually.

And it gets better! as always! the couches are made out of genuine recycled coffin material. Fantastic.

“Our niche happens to be 18 gauge steel coffins which we collected from local funeral homes primarily in Southern California,” CoffinCouches.com says. “It is a health and safety law that funeral homes cannot resell used coffins to the general public. We approached funeral directors with the attitude of recycling. These coffins are not used for burial due to slight cosmetic inconsistencies. They are reconfigured and modified resulting in a finished product - a unique one a kind coffin couch.”

And if you think that's titillating, just wait till you hear you can send them on a weekend getaway to the Propeller Island City Lodge.

 

At Propeller Island City Lodge, every room is decorated by artists in a different theme.  That concept isn’t new, but Germany’s Propeller Island takes the idea to the extreme.

The coffin room features two coffins, “In both coffins you can even slumber beneath closed lids! Or, ditch the coffin idea for a relaxing night in a cage, “Dual cages, situated in the centre of this spacious menagerie, rest on stilts measuring 1.5 meters tall .."

Don't we all know someone we'd love to lock in a cage? No? Fine, but just in case you change your mind!

And Thirdly, if none of the above is working for you and you simply cannot choose what to give your mom whom you love to not love, then consider this.

Give her the gift of nothing, complete with ribbon and bow.

It will surely put the message across, the best part is, it is totally up to the receiver to figure out what type of social/ personal commentary you are trying to hint. Which is the beauty of this concept by Christine Wong Yap , it is so very  deep, that they will never know what you are really trying to say-yet hopefully they somehow will come close enough to derive some meaningfulness from it.

 

 

 

Happy Mothers' day for yours when it comes =]
